Late Harvest

• A luscious fruity Auslese-style wine. Medium sweet, with a nice acid finish typical of white wines made from this vineyard. Drinking well now but will benefit from long term cellaring if you can bare to put it away.

  2012 Half Moon Eclipse
  From Good Food

  Canberra winemaker Alex McKay (owner of Collector Wines) makes wine for Braidwood’s 1.6-hectare Half Moon vineyard. This unique white appears to be inspired by the unctuous whites of Alsace, France, where pinot gris and riesling live happily side by side (though not usually blended together). Riesling adds an appealing floral boost to the slippery, round palate. Vibrant acidity balances the wine’s delicate sweetness. This combination probably makes the wine a good match to pork sausages and pate or to the spiciness of Asian dishes.
