CHARDONNAY:

This is the first white wine made at Callatoota (after 29 previous vintages!!). This unwooded Chardonnay, which displays good varietal fruit characters and a clean fresh finish, has been well received by our cellar door and mail order customers.

VERDELHO:

Upper Hunter Verdelho is developing a cult following throughout Australia. This wine is a good example of this style. It is a perfect accompaniment to seafood and chicken dishes or just enjoyed as a pre-dinner drink.

CABERNET ROSÉ:

The red wine drinker's white!

A very light dry red with a crisp finish and good Cabernet character. It goes well with salads and light meals and is best served chilled.

VELVET CABERNET:

A soft, easy drinking Cabernet Sauvignon. Goes well with Asian food or chilled as a refreshing drink. This is a drink-now wine not intended for extended cellaring.

CABERNET SAUVIGNON:

Several styles ranging from lighter 'free- run' to full-bodied wines. In good years a big 'press wine' is produced, which is unusual, as in most wineries this is blended with with the 'free-run' wine to add extra body. The Pressings have been described as a 'wine fit for heroes'.

CABERNET FRANC:

This 100% Cabernet Franc wine has a rich deep brick-red colour and spicy berry fruit bouquet with subtle oak complexity. It displays medium weight, round, mouth filling fruit flavours with a nice soft tannin finish.

2003 SHIRAZ:

Gold Medal Winner at the 2004 Hunter Valley Wine Show. A traditional fruit driven style of Shiraz. The lifted spicy berry fruit is enhanced with very subtle oak. The palate has a great length of fruit with a lingering soft finish.

OLD TAWNY PORT:

A rich, smooth Tawny Port showing the benefit of long maturation in American oak casks. It has a deeper colour than most ports of this style and the complex palate of a well aged port with good balance of flavour, sweetness and spirit.
