Bunnamagoo Pinot Noir Chardonnay 2008

The 2008 Bunnamagoo Pinot Noir Chardonnay is produced from fruit grown in the Central Ranges of NSW using traditional Methode Champenoise techniques.  The wine spent 32 months on lees prior to disgorging and adjustment with dosage liqueur to maintain Bunnamagoo's unique house style and balance.  Complex aromas of cumquat, citrus and baked apple linger amid biscuit and nutty yeast-derived characters.  The palate displays custard apple and creamy nuances tapering to a bright acid line and fine persistent bead.

Bunnamagoo 1827 Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Made from selected premium fruit grown at Bunnamagoo's Eurunderee vineyard near Mudgee in the Central Ranges of NSW.  The grapes were gently de-stemmed without crushing before being fermented on skins for two weeks in stainless steel potters.  Malolactic fermentation took place in a mixture of new and old French oak hogsheads followed by 15 months maturation after which a further 6 months barrel aging occurred in two year old American oak puncheons.  The resulting wine has complex fruit compote of cassis, sylvan berry and dark cherry with hints of tobacco and dried flowers.  Oak derived vanillin and mocha notes merge with velvet-like tannins to provide a generous finish.  This wine will benefit from patient cellaring over the coming 10 - 15 years.
