THE SuperLiving Wine Club is back this month with a range sure to tantalise the tastebuds, all thanks to our friends at Winebox Australia. There are classic whites and cabernets, to a sangiovese and sauvignon blanc. Orders of 12 bottles or more can be shipped Australia-wide.

winebox februaryXanadu Classic Dry White 2007

2007 will be remembered for a few reasons – importantly it was a season which produced exceptional quality fruit but also because it was the earliest vintage ever experienced in Margaret River. The early harvest followed a mild spring and a relatively dry growing season, which produced good flowering and excellent fruit set.

Ketu Bay Pinot Noir 2010

A wonderful toasty nose, showing lifted dark red fruit, with hints of cherry ripe strawberry, cranberry, raspberry, tamarillo and some intoxicating cinnamon spice. 

The entry is soft and generous, with delicious fresh summer ripened cherry and dark savoury raspberry fruit building in the mid-pallet. The tannins are a key part of the structure, although nice and soft they still add a hint of slight vanillin, making this an ideal all year round drinking style.

The Principal Limestone Coast Cabernet 2009

A lovely example of prime Limestone Coast fruit, emphasising the earthy berry flavours of this criminally underrated sister region to the world famous Coonawarra. 

It's an exotic and intoxicating wine, with a refined presence that keeps you coming back. Beautiful blackberry and plums, smoky chocolate and lingering length. An exemplary addition to the Scholars' Series.

Xanadu Dragon Cabernet Merlot 2005 

This wine exhibits vibrant aromas of cassis, dark plummy fruits and mocha, entwined with hints of sweet, toasty oak. The full-bodied palate is packed with juicy blackcurrants, ripe briary fruits and chocolate characters. It is a generous wine with ripe, approachable tannins and a warm, lingering finish.

While drinking well in its youth, the 2005 Dragon cabernet merlot will gain further complexity with bottle maturation and will certainly reward with medium-term cellaring.

The Professor Langhorne Creek Sangiovese 2008

Dark bright, bull’s blood red with a violet background leads you into the fray here and immediately gains your interest. This is a sangiovese with power, passion and lip-smacking adroit savoury depth and length. A very engaging big wine here folks, a real beauty and a beast.

The Principal Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2010 

The nose excites the senses with a melange of sweet passionfruit and tomato with a subtle hint of strawberry. The palate is excellent, captivating and intense, reminding you of Marlborough sauvignon blanc as it should be – with heaps of passionfruit, capsicum spice, juicy green apple and some feral tones.

Lavina Gold Series Chardonnay 2010

The wine has a pale straw colour with a faint green hue. The bouquet is alive with lifted aromas of citrus blossom, stone fruit and pear. It all leads to a fresh palate of lychee, white peach and a complex array of stone fruits, melon and citrus. Integration of light oak and a soft acidity results in a beautifully balanced wine with a fine lingering finish.

Olssen Watervale Riesling 2007

This wine has a lifted, perfumed nose of orange blossom and citrus fruits. Lemons and limes are the dominant characteristics on the tightly structured palate. It finishes bone dry and is a wine that will show its best with food. Situated in a beautiful secluded valley northwest of Watervale, the Olssen vineyard benefits from the shading effect of the steep valley sides, resulting in estate-grown wines of great finesse and elegance.
