Wine shippers are a discriminating bunch. Wine shippers (like wine sippers) are picky. When it comes to service, what they’re looking for is smoothness, balance and year-after-year consistency. (And a bit of age helps, because with wine, shipping it is also like making it. Experience is everything.) All of which is what Hamburg Süd brings to the table. What we offer is the capacity to leave the customer wanting more – by delivering the product in the same lovingly produced form it was bottled in. www.hamburgsud.com

In ideal conditions over the next 5 to 7 years the Musician will reward. VITICULTURE: The vineyards were planted between the years 1971 to 1989. All vineyards have a single wire trellis system and are mechanically hedge pruned and harvested. Rows run both north south and east west with supplementary drip irrigation given. The ability to reach maturity 7 to 10 days earlier on varying soil types can be an advantage in cooler years. VINIFICATION & MATURATION: The machine harvested fruit was crushed and pumped to both rotary and static stainless steel tanks, a cultured yeast was introduced to initiate fermentation. After 5 to 7 days the grapes were pressed and the wine finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks, second and third use oak hogsheads, where the wine remained until the completion of malolactic fermentation. The wine was racked and returned for a further 8 months maturation, where all the individual batches were accessed for suitability, blended, stabilised and filtered prior to bottling off site.

SWEET WHITE of the year WINNER THE WILLIAM ANGLISS TROPHY De Bortoli Deen De Bortoli Riverina Botrytis Semillon 2017 WINEMAKER: John Coughlan & Julie Mortlock COLOUR, BOUQUET, PALATE: Layers of nectarines, quinces, citrus flavours with a subtle hint of nougat nuttiness. Subtle oak interplay adds to the texture and a well balanced acidity gives length and structure to this delicious wine. FOOD SUGGESTIONS: A wine that can be enjoyed with a lovely selection of cheeses and dried fruits as your dessert or after dinner. It can also be served with an exotic fruit sorbet or peach melba. CELLARING: Can be enjoyed now but will also cellar for 10-15 years. VITICULTURE: Semillon is an ideal variety for botrytis as they are thin skinned and tightly bunched which when the Autumn rains and morning dews appear in the Riverina with the lovely warm days the conditions are ideal for the onset of the botrytis cinerea mould. Vines range from 15 years to over 40 years in age. Vineyards are spur pruned by hand in the winter and foliage is hedged in November/December to encourage some lateral growth to ensure there is sufficient canopy to hold the humidity when it occurs around the fruit to promote the botrytis. VINIFICATION & MATURATION: Harvest began early May and lasted six weeks as each vineyard reached desired levels of botrytis. The fruit is crushed and left to soak overnight to further extract sugars and flavour before pressing next morning. Juice is then clarified and fermented in tank and once fermentation is completed the wine is clarified, stabilised prior to filtration and maturation for 12 months. 22% was fermented on French Oak staves, with 8% matured in 2 year old French Oak barriques and the remainder left unoaked to produce a youthful fruity sweet table wine.
