Battle of Bosworth, McLaren Vale - 2008 Sauvignon Blanc

Vintage 2008

Average winter rains were followed by a very cool and dry late January/ February, resulting in very healthy vines with big canopies and intensely varietal fruit which held their acidity extraordinarily well.

Tasting Note

The inaugural Battle of Bosworth Sauvignon Blanc has cut grass, passionfruit and lime on the nose, flavours which follow through in the mouth, accompanied by fine, fresh acidity, good length and a super clean finish.

Battle of Bosworth, McLaren Vale - 2007 Shiraz

Vintage 2007

Vintage 2007 marked the culmination of a record drought in McLaren Vale (and indeed the rest of Australia) which resulted in tiny crops, from unexpectedly healthy vines.

Whites in particular kept their basal leaves far longer than was expected which protected fruit from sunburn. Vintage 2007 started (and finished) approximately one month early and fruit is characterised by good acid retention, power AND elegance ... altogether an unusual but excellent vintage. Both red and white wines have amazing potential.

Tasting Note

Colour: deep dark red with bright purple edges. The nose shows lifted floral and blossom notes with red fruits, as well as fresh liquorice, spice and hints of fresh meat. A tight, middle-weight palate is perfectly balanced and set to grow and develop over time.
