Talunga Wines - Adelaide Hills

1999 Chardonnay

A Chardonnay in the true premium European style made form the finest grapes grown in the Scaffidi family vineyards at Gumeracha in the Adelaide Hills. Green apple and ripe lime fruit characters on the nose, complexed with subtle toasty oak.

Although full in flavour exhibiting citrus and nectarine characters, the wine is extremely elegant. The Fruit is perfectly balanced by superb use of French Oak, giving a creamy cashew ut influence. The mouth feel lingers on and finishes with a balanced soft cleansing acidity.

2001 Nebbiolo

"Nebbiolo, the great Italian red from the Piedmont, has taken a liking to One Tree Hill, where the breezes wash in off Gulf St Vincent, patron saint of viticulturists, to Vince and Tina Scaffidi's vines. We have a delightfully fragrant and perfumed, juicy smelling wine of modest fruity style, dominated by the contracting stiff, spinachy tannins of the variety." 89+ Points.
