Barrel Aged Fume Blanc 2008
17/20 POINTS 4 STARS
Brilliant straw-yellow colour with green hues and a pale edge, this has a fresh, steely nose of gooseberries, nettles and minerals along with some secondary bean nuances, and balanced oak nuttiness. Dry to taste, this is still tight and elegantly presented, with flavours of gooseberries, nettles and herbs. There are bottle-development notes with earth and subtle oak elements showing, and the wine has a steely edge to the texture, leading to a soft, nuanced finish of good length. Fermented to 13.0% alc. and 4.2 g/L rs, the wine aged in barrel with MLF. This will continue to age slowly and match shellfish and poultry dishes over the next 2-3 years. 17.0-/20 Sep 2011

Anchorage Winemakers Release Pinot Gris 2010
16.5/20 POINTS 3 STARS
Very pale straw-yellow colour with green hues, this has a clean, fresh nose of white stonefruits and pears, showing purity and elegance. Cool-fermented to 13.5% alc. and 5.5 g/L rs, this is off-dry to taste with fine, tight, linear flavours of white stonefruits, pear drops, with an attractive aromatic lift. Soft acidity and some alcohol warmth show, making this up-front and accessible. An uncomplicated style to drink with mildly spicy Asian cuisine over the next 2-3+ years. 16.5+/20 Mar 2011 RRP $19.00
