A core of resplendent Hunter Valley Semillon with a slightly smaller portion of Orange grown fruit, assembled into a tightly integrated, stylish white of soft textures and crisp refreshing fruit. Pepper Tree is through and through, a Hunter Valley operation which postulates that grapes grown ouside of their locale should be explored. So what could be better than the elegance and finesse of Hunter Valley Semillon matched with a vibrantly aromatic and exhileratingly flavoured component of Sauvignon Blanc, picked off the splendid climes of the New South Wales highlands.

$1999each $239DOZEN EACH DOZEN Hunter Valley is one of the world's great white wine growing districts. Pepper Tree's vineyard is in the Mount View area of Lower Hunter, within the sheltered foothills of Brokenback Range. Alluvial loams along the vineyard's creek flats are ideal for Semillon. Pepper Tree's vineyard sits in a small subvalley protected on three sides and grows the most intense Sauvignon Blanc. The higher elevations at Orange make a major contribution to Australia's most exciting new viticultural precinct, favoured for its sensational long growing season and extended cool ripening. Fruit is all hand picked and gently pressed to preserve delicate fruit aromas, effecting an elegance and finesse on the palate. Alcohol 13.0%

Pale, lemon straw hue. Intense aromas of passionfruit and gooseberry followed by a citrus lift. A lively palate combining perfectly the tropical high notes of Sauvignon Blanc with the wonderful length and definition of Semillon, vibrant and superbly balanced before with a long, crisp finish.

Philip Shaw was twice International Wine and Spirit Competition's Winemaker of Year. Following a career as chief at Rosemount and Southcorp, Shaw struggled to determine the most favourable terroir in Australia until he accidentally caught sight of the undulating countryside whilst flying over Orange in New South Wales. Shiraz from Orange differs to Australia's warmer regional styles. Reminiscent of a Rhone Valley, Orange Shiraz displays distinct bright spice with a fine pepper character revealing the vineyard's cooler, elevated origins.

$2399each $287DOZEN EACH DOZEN Vinified from parcels grown to the higher altitude Koomooloo Vineyard at Orange. Throughout the growing season, east facing sides of vine are lightly leaf plucked to allow air movement and morning sun exposure to bunches. The high elevation delivers ultraviolet intensity so leaves on the western side are left to shade fruit. Grapes are harvested in the morning, de-stemmed and passed over the sorting table to remove stalks and unwanted berries, transferred to a combination of closed and open fermenters for a higher level of fruit density while achieving a lighter, softer style. A course of wild indigenous yeast vinification is followed by a year's maturation on gross lees in a selection of well seasoned oak barrels.

Medium to light red with youthful purple hues. The aroma is spicy, lifted and intense, an appealing liquorice character to the intense bouquet. Bright full fruit flavours in a medium bodied package, classic cool area Shiraz, spice integrated with red fruits, lovely soft tannins and finish. Perfect with tomato braises or meats, divine with lamb.
