Sirocco Cabernet Franc 2002
Sirocco Sauvignon Blanc 2002
Sirocco Riesling 1998
A clean and crisp with good acidity and citrus flavours. A little bottle development had softened the acid and it is a lovely well-balanced wine. A steal at $12.00.
Sirocco Riesling 1999
This fresh wine has an intoxicating nose of a rose in full bloom. This very alluring Riesling is blushed with a tad of vivacious Gewurztraminer, adding a sensuous spicy fragrance and crisp finish that lingers. Harvested solely from our Rakaia block. Worth cellaring at $14.00.
Sirocco Pinot Noir 1999
Made by Paul in a style which deliberately emphasizes the classical Burgundian
attributes of elegance, seductiveness and finesse, this wine shows generous
scents of rose petals and glace cherries. The nose shows classic Burgundian
'rooster shed' leesy aromas - but without any trace of sulphidic spoilage
or lack of fine pinot noir perfume. The tannins are very fine, ripe and
ultra velvety, supporting sweet glace cherry fruit in spate across the
middle palate, with Sirocco's typically soft clean cool climate acidity
following through into the wine's long fruit-driven finish.
Please note that this wine was only lightly filtered to preserve its finesse
and delicacy of fruit characters. As a result, it will throw a harmless
light soft crust in the bottle, and should ideally be stood upright for
around 24 hours before opening, and serving.
Only 25 cases of this 'Reserve'-label premium pinot noir were made in
1999, using extensively crop-thinned perfectly ripened Rakaia fruit. Keenly
priced at $25 per bottle.
