April 2010 Sees the end of the pruning . All 10,000 vines have been pruned by hand, ouch. A very big thank you to Barry and his team. We welcome two new members to our team this year Kelly and Freddie who look forward to serving you from Friday to Sunday.
Will keep you posted.
White wines actually cover a wide range of different tastes and colors. From clear white colors to golden yellows, dry, sweet or semi-sweet, they are the wines that are defined by their light color, body, and complex taste.
White wines are produced all over the world but the most famous are probably those made from the Chardonnay grape in France... you've probably tasted them in Champagnes, Chablis and white Burgundies from France but the Chardonnay grape is equally at home in New Zealand and California.
Other white grapes from France that have found root around the world are Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Voignier.
Rieslings from Germany produce quite a few stunning wines that are slowly regaining their rightful place at the tables of the world. The popularity of lower quality, sugary wines passing as rieslings have given these wines a reputation that they don't deserve. A fine Mosel, Rhine or Saar wine produced from the Riesling will erase any doubt about the quality of these white wines. Australian and American white wines made from Rieslings are also helping to reinstate the reputation of the grapes.
