Following a steady emergence into the Australian wine scene, we are excited to announce that the acclaim for our wine just keeps on growing. In the past 18 months our signature wines have been chalking up the reviews and collected the odd medal in a series of national wine challenges.  We were modestly proud to accept two bronze medals in last years’ Boutique Wine Show. Medals went to both the 2006 Coombe Farm Chardonnay, and 2006 Coombe Farm Pinot Noir.  Whilst Huon Hooke and Bob Campbell MW of The Gourmet Traveler Wine Magazine ranked both the 2006 Coombe Farm Viognier and the 2006 Coombe Farm Chardonnay in the Top 100 New Release wines of 2007. The Chardonnay awarded 90 Points.       -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------     LATEST RELEASE WINES Be sure to think quick and order current stocks of our - ‘Latest Release Wines’ The Cellar Door is currently offering tastings and sales on the following latest release wines. 2008 vintage Pinot Gris, Viognier and all new Rose fresh from the winery. All three are now available exclusively from our Cellar Door, so why not try before you buy? Be quick to avoid disappointment as all three are in very short supply. PINOT GRIS - 2008 - $21 (New Release) We’re pleased to announce the 2008 Pinot Gris (GOLD Medal - Yarra Valley Wine Show 2008) Pale straw colour. It has a light and slightly savory nose. The palate is delicate and clean and mineral, with green olive, lime leaf and zest. A refreshing spring drinking style, pack it in the picnic and drink with summer greens and antipasto. ARNEIS - 2008 - $21 While only the first Arneis we have made, this is turning out to be a deliciously fresh, yet still intricate, white variety. Native to Piedmont (Italy) arneis, literally translated, means "little rascal" due to being regarded as a difficult grape to grow. It is made in a dry style, with clear characteristics of green apple, sour pear and almonds, making it a good match for a warm summers day, or matched with such foods as a good Marinara dish, or other seafood dishes. VIOGNIER - 2008 - $21 A youthful pale straw colour. The nose is pure and varietal with stone-fruit, orange blossom and undertones of tangerine. The palate is well weighted and brimming with apricots, nectarines and exotic spice. This wine oozes class, is rich, silky in texture and lingering, pleasantly. ROSE - CABERNET - 2008 - $21 The 2007 Coombe Farm Rose is made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape providing added structure, complexity and depth of fruit flavour. Its colour is a bright transparent ruby, with inviting confectionery fruit nose of strawberries and raspberries. A medium weight, fruit driven palate gives the impression of sweetness yet finishes dry with non-cloying acidity. Great on its own, or match with just about any food. *For a complete list of wines and tasting notes please click here.     ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MERLOT - 2007 - $25 (Comming Soon) The Cellar Door is currently awaiting new release stocks of the 2007 vintage Coombe Farm Merlot as we have recently sold out of the 2006 vintage.
