Click the button below The Corkscrew's Web Wines of the Month for May 2001 or the month of May we have gone down under and selected two awesome Aussie wines for your enjoyment. The St. Hallett winery is famous for their legendary Old Block Shiraz, the also make some wonderful wines for current drinking. The fruit for this wine is sourced from the Barossa Valley. The wine is a blend of Chenin Blanc, Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc. The grapes are harvested at night to ensure that they are cool.
Fermentation is done in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness, no barrel ageing is done.
This wine is quite delightful with lovely aromas of pineapple and citrus. Fresh and lively in the mouth this is the perfect wine to sip on the patio before dinner. You may also enjoy it with shellfish or light Asian influenced dishes. Gamekeeper's Reserve Another great blended wine from the Barossa Valley. A blend of the usual suspects Grenache and Mourvedre, however, an interesting twist comes from the addition of a small amount of the Portugese grape variety Touriga.
