Barossa Valley
Estate: Two new wines have joined the BVE stables. The new
"Spires" range comprises a Chardonnay Semillon and a Shiraz Cabernet.
Both these wines, from the 1998 vintage, have been made to drink
upon release. They are youthful, full flavoured, fruit driven
wines. This new range captures the essence of the Barossa Valley.
The distinctive labels depict a contemporary vision of the Barossa
Valley - towering Church spires surrounded by a mosaic of vineyards.
Sydney based artist, Ben Goss, was commissioned to paint these
labels to show the culture and charm of the Valley.

Currency
Creek Wines: The word 'unique' might have been coined just
to describe Tonkin's Currency Creek Winery. It is a winemaker's
Garden of Eden. Just 10 kilometres from the Southern Ocean the
sprawling vineyard is adjacent to the River Murray Lakes System
and together, these watery expanses create a unique microclimate.
Prevailing cool sea breezes, mild winters and cool summers result
in early bud burst and a much longer ripening period for the grapes.
What follows is a premium fruit of rare flavour and quality.

Fox
Creek Wines: A change in personnel has brought a pleasing
change in winemaking approach to this highly rated but still emergent
young McLaren Vale label. Despite its typical concentration and
richness, there's a vivacious brightness to its brambly, spicy
dark fruit and it keeps well on the smart side of over-oaking
or portiness. Its luxuriantly deep, dark, liqueur chocolate palate
can't conceal a smoky oak influence, while its tannins are as
fine as they are firm.

the Adelaide Hills is devoted to grow the low crop, richly
flavoured grapes that produce his wines. Since the release of

Adelaide Hills finest wine producers. Major varieties planted
are Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir
