Hillebrand 2006 Unfiltered Chardonnay

Chardonnay fans should relish this Hillebrand Chard. Barrel fermented, aged 12 months in 60% new French oak (the rest a combination of 2-3 and 4 year old oak). Only 30% of the wine went through a malolactic fermentation to soften it – that way it retains a fair bit of acidity on the palate. The smells are typical barreled Chardonnay: buttery, oaky and vanilla – the palate shows good finesse and nice fruit: apple, vanilla, butterscotch and nutmeg, along with a softened-bite of acidity. Love...

Hillebrand 2007 Trius White

Last year Hillebrand introduced us to the newest wine in their Trius line-up, a white blend to pair up with their red Trius blend … it did very well. As the old saying goes in Hollywood, “if you do well with the first, make a sequel” – or something like that. This year’s version is 37% Gewurztraminer, 33% Riesling, 27% Pinot Gris and 3% Chardonnay. There is also an element of barrel fermentation with the Gewurzt (about half) and Pinot Gris (all), which gives the wine a better mouth presence an...

Hillebrand 2007 Limited Edition Gewurztraminer

Most people don’t think of adding a wood component to Gewurztraminer, but winemaker Darryl Brooker thought putting a 10% barrel fermented, 5 months aged, component back into his Gewurzt might just add a little something-something; and he was right. A nose ripe with Gewurzt character like perfume and floral notes also comes across with an interesting and enjoyable spiced-orange; the palate has a peppery-spice with a touch of rosyness and floral notes – all of which combine to bring about a mediu...

Hillebrand 2007 Artist Series Sauvignon Blanc

The Kiwis have pretty much dictated to us how Sauvignon Blanc should smell and taste, they’ve also done very well at selling it; a New Zealand Savvy B will run ya anywhere from $17 and up. That’s why this Hillebrand Artist Series Sauv Blanc is such a deal at under $12 a bottle. It has the grassy, gooseberry and touch of grapefruit you’ve come to expect from wines bearing the S.B. on the label, but at a third less the price, a touch less the acidity and a pleasant soothing finish. Come on – sh...

Colio Estate 2007 CEV Chardonnay Musque

New Colio winemaker, Tim Reilly, has plenty to smile about these days. He’s made the first ever Shiraz in Colio history and he’s getting the freehand to put his stamp on other wines as well as branching out to make new ones. Take this Chardonnay Musque for instance, it might seem very one dimensional on the nose … apple; but the palate shows complexity: golden delicious apples, tasty refreshing lemon, a touch of fizzante (spritz) and a nice softness on the tongue. The wine went through parti...
