This wine shows a deep rich purple/plum colour with a rich aroma of spicy berry fruit, vanilla oak and barrel aged complexity. The palate is full bodied, with nicely intergrated oak. There is a good backbone of fine-grained tannin which will ensure its cellaring potential.

'Henry Andriske' Shiraz 2003 Reserve

“Dense colour; massively ripe, rich and concentrated prune, jam and blackberry. Recommended. Wine of above average quality with clear varietal expression."

This wine exhibits a beautiful deep, rich colour akin to the juice of ripe blood plums mixed with that of blueberries. the aroma shows an abundance of sweet berry fruits combined with subtle French Oak. The palate is mouth filling with lots of soft, fruit flavours, gentle tannin, with a long satisfying finish.

Windmill Petit Verdot 2003 Reserve

The hand picked bunches were loaded by hand into a Vintek tank press where gentle whole bunch pressing took place, so as to achieve the best possible juice quality. Long cold settling of the juice was performed in stainless steel, followed by separation from the solids, at which point cold fermentation (at between 12° & 15°C) was started. At approximately 7°Ba the fermenting juice was transferred to French Oak Hogsheads where the fermentation was completed, followed by extended maturation on lees for approximately 8 months.

The resulting wine shows ripe fruit on the aroma, which is nicely integrated with subtle oak and complex French Oak ferment characters. The palate is full flavoured with very good acid balance and shows a long and satisfying finish.

This wine exhibits a deep crimson/brick color. The aroma shows ripe fruit with good barrel aged complexity, leading to a robust and mouth filling palate
with a firm tannin structure. It will certainly benefit from bottle aging for those who are patient enough to allow it!

Windmill Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 Reserve

The resulting wine is rich in color with a wonderful depth of plummy ripe fruit. Maturation took place for 12 months in French Oak barrels. This is a medium to full bodied wine which may be enjoyed now, although further cellaring for several years would also be rewarding.
