JJ McWilliam Chardonnay
Rp.312,000From the famous McWilliam’s label, one of Australia’s most awarded wineries, this generous Chardonnay has fresh fruit flavours and a pleasant creamy texture. McWilliam’s reflect pride of their history with this JJ label, which stands for John James, son of founder Samuel McWilliam. This is one of those wines in which the quality far exceeds the price.
Jepun Sparkling Wine
Rp.286,000Jepun Sparkling Rosé is made in the same traditional méthode champenoise style as Tunjung. It is blushed by the gentle pressing of the locally grown Alphonse-Lavallée grapes. Enhanced by lively mousse this Rosé Sparkling wine is slightly sweet and displays hints of youthful aromas and tropical fruit. It is Indonesia’s first champagne method sparkling wine.
Jepun is highly suitable for appetizer and deserts but it is also a perfect wine to have on its own.G7 Cabernet Sauvignon
Rp.340,000Dry, spicy aromas of tobacco, cedar, vanilla and berry fruits come together nicely. This Maule Valley Cab is fresh and harmonious across the palate, with nothing too pushy. Complex, balsamic flavors of olives, herbs, dried berries, turned earth and cocoa finish dry, peppery and elegant.
Durvillea Pinot Grigio
Rp.372,000A Pinot Grigio with a new world twist. Fruit was selected from the Wairau and Waihopai valleys and used in the Durvillea blend to give perfumed and restrained fragrance, yellow golden hues and whilst crisp and fresh with a classy dryness, it has a hint of ripe pears and minerality on the palate. Light bodied, but great with food, it has balanced acidity and has a rich smooth finish. The flavour of the new world with some restrained elegance of the old world!
A vivid green seaweed, known as Durvillea, waves from the sea along Marlborough`s rocky coastline, clinging to rocks at low tide. To the locals, it is known as Bull Kelp or Rimurapa. Our winemaker Simon Waghorn was drawn to Durvillea when studying toward a Masters of Natural Resources in 1980. He was planning to farm seaweed but changed course to undertake a career in winemaking. Its strong lines, shapes, textures and colours were the inspiration for this wine. It is symbolic of Simon Waghorn`s pure and complex wines from his acclaimed Astrolabe Winery. His wife, Jane Forrest Waghorn recognised there is a market demand for a high quality, accessible wine. The result is a strong distinctive brand, producing beautiful wines which come from sustainable vineyards and are environmentaly friendly.
