ASEG SA Branch Committee

2011 Wines were:

Angove 2009 Vineyard Select Shiraz - McLaren Vale "Bright hue; a lively and juicy wine with abundant plum and black cherry fruit supported by good acidity and tannins, oak a minor support role." – James Halliday Aus. Wine Companion 2012 edition – 90 points – 4.5 stars. "Good-value table wines are Angove’s forte. This McLaren Vale shiraz is typically generous, offering ripe, sweetly spicy berry fruit seasoned with a well-measured dose of coconut-tinged oak. It tastes smooth and velvety with soft tannins to keep together nicely.” – Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine July 2011. "Here is a full in-your-face ripe shiraz from McLaren Vale. Masses of licorice and plum with a decent whack of vanillin oak. It’s balanced and delivers all you want” – Newcastle Herald – 4 stars.   ASEG Price $150/case (usually retails at around $228/case)

Pikes 2010 Clare Hills Riesling – Clare Valley “The 2010 vintage was one of the earliest on record for the Clare Valley beginning in early February. While most of South Eastern Australia was affected by the continuance of a severe drought, rainfall in the Clare Valley was almost average. An early budburst followed by a warm spring and summer hastened the ripening of all varieties which meant timing of harvest was critical. The resultant wines have excellent up front flavour concentration and balanced acidity. Pale green appearance with typical Clare Valley Riesling characters on full display, including citrus blossom, lemon, quince and a little honeysuckle. The palate is crisp, dry and fresh; the balanced acidity ensuring a soft, clean finish.” – Neil Pike, winemaker ASEG Price $110/case (not normally available for purchase in Australia - suggested retail price approx. $180/case)
