Bulong
Estate Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Fruit
for this wine was hand picked in two separate parcels from our most
elevated block. The two parcels were fermented separately and then
blended to give a wine of greater complexity. The bouquet displays
fresh varietal characters of lychees, gooseberries and a hint of
cut grass while the palate abounds with tropical fruit characters.
Crisp natural acidity makes it perfect for a wide range of foods or
simply sipped lightly chilled as an aperitif.
Bulong
Estate Merlot 2005
Heavy
summer rain followed by a warm Autumn ensured ideal ripening
conditions and the fruit was picked in the middle of April. The
resulting wine has a lovely bright colour with lovely plum and
cherry flavours, highlighted with spicy oak from maturation in
French oak barriques. It can be enjoyed with a wide range of food
and ideally suited to red meats. Short to medium term cellaring
will enhancing its complexity.
Bulong
Estate Pinot Noir 2008
The
2008 season featured very warm days and cold nights. This resulted
in rich, ripe Pinot Noir fruit with a strong natural acid backbone.
The resulting wine displays classical varietal characters of
cherries, violets and blackcurrents. It finishes long with a subtle
and well integrated background of fine French oak. This wine is
suited to a wide range of cuisines, especially pasta dishes and
