Willunga Creek Black Duck Sauvignon
Blanc
The Sauvignon Blanc was machine harvested at optimum maturity and then
underwent cool and controlled fermentation in stainless steel. The absence
of oak treatment, followed by early bottling enhances the freshness
and fruit characters in the wine.
The result is a most appealing, crisp dry white with just a hint of
residual sweetness to make this an absolute delight to enjoy while in
its youth.
Willunga Creek Black Duck Merlot
Awarded a Gold Medal in London in 2007, the judges described this wine
as:
“Attractive, spicy, concentrated briary fruit, excellent concentration
and balance. Enormous length with a long silky finish. Excellent.”
Willunga Creek Black Duck Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine is a deep, inky red colour, with intense aromas of blackcurrant
and green capsicum predominating. Mouth-filling fruit flavours of red
berry and spice, creamy vanillan oak and long soft tannins finish off
a palate that is full and firm. This stunning red will continue to improve
over the next three to five years.
Willunga Creek Black Duck Shiraz
This rich and full-bodied wine combines aromas of distinctive black
pepper with hints of cherry and berry spice. A very complex profile
follows, displaying soft, nutty flavours in harmony with the developed
palate structure. Rich and long tannins leave a warm and intense mouth-feel
that lingers pleasingly on the palate.
Willunga Creek Black Duck Cabernet Merlot
This is a delightful, easy-drinking style showing pronounced perfumed
aromas of sweet dark berry fruit and hints of dark chocolate with subtle
oak. The palate is full and complex, displaying well- integrated fruit
with long, grainy, cedary oak tannins which linger on to a firm and
dry finish. This blend of two classic varieties has been crafted to
be easy-drinking in style, combining the best of each variety for your
sensory enjoyment.
