The Willows Vineyard is situated at Light Pass at the 'top' of the Barossa. Although the Scholz family has been in the Barossa since 1845, winemaking did not commence until the sixth generation brother, Peter and Michael, opened in 1989. The Willows Barossa Riesling 1999 Straw gold. Juicy but an astringent metallic character coats the inside part of the lower teeth. The Willows Semillon 1997 Rich lemony gold.
Stone fruits dominate in the palate with warm leesy lemon and apricot, good acidity.
Mellow, hint of honey and a little warm toastiness linger on the finish with a suggestion of nuts. A very refreshing, well balanced wine. The Willows Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 Red Wine of the tasting - see above. Deep red-black colour. Creamy, American oak vanilla aromas.
