We are very excited about the release of our 2017 Sauvignon Blanc and the pending release of our 2015 Shiraz and 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon. These wines even have the winemaker excited and the current response to the Sauvingon Blanc has been resounding.
The 2017 Monichino Sauvignon Blanc is outstanding with intense aromas of passionfruit, lychees and citrus aromas which fuse with the crisp delicate flavours of lemon, green apple and nashi fruit. The lingering palate and abundance of natural flavours allow the wine to stand alone.
The impressive 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon is aged in 30% American and 70% French Oak. The multi-faceted character of this complex nose with its mixture of berries, chocolate, pepper and cedar tobacco box, promises well. The smooth velvety flavours of raspberry, spice, aniseed and vanilla oak live up to that promise. A long lingering finish.
The 2015 Shiraz is another full bodied red wine. The aroma is blackberry, blackcurrant and a hint of violet and spice. The palate is velvety, soft, rich and mouth filling.18 months in American and French oak has enhanced the natural berry and spice of the fruit. A well balanced wine with a long lingering finish.
“Coming to Monichino wines is an experience. Establishing a relationship with the people who make and love the wines, who will make you welcome, tell you stories, make you feel like a connoisseur and let you go home with stories to tell with gems of wine information to impart to their friends, and experience they will want to repeat.”
