Forest Hill Block 9 Shiraz 2007
	Forest Hill work hard at extracting the best possible Shiraz out of Block 9. Better soil maintenance with no herbicides and more composted material, while leaf plucking is applied earlier in the season and more diligently. The maturity of the vines, management of the property and evolution in the quality of fruit all impact on the excellence of the finished wine. Its long and fine, chewy structure is dominated by bold varietal fruit characters, while the background gamey nuances intensify the palate, along with subtle earthiness and sweet spice undertones Great Southern Currently out of stock
	Each $49.99 Dozen $599.88	The raw Shiraz grapes at vintage feature ripe, fleshy, berry flavours with firm, fine, elegant tannin. Vine health is fastidiously maintained and canopy densities are always optimal as a result of shoot thinning to ensure balanced growth. Grapes are cold soaked in eight-tonne fermenters to extract and retain desirable varietal flavours and aromas. The juices are vinified at around 45°C to prevent over extraction of tannins locked in the skins. Macerations are not extended for the same reason. The wine is transferred to barrel for malolactic, softening the palate and completing the integration. Matured eighteen months in a combination of new and seasoned Francois Frères and Sirugue French oak bariques. Alcohol 15.0%
	Dark red with a purple hue. Intense aromas of blueberry and satsuma plum with subtle anise and earthy undertones. Spicy aromas of white pepper develop in the glass. Intense flavours of red and blue berries carry through onto the palate with lingering anise and earthy characters. The silky tannins are very well integrated providing a long and generous mouthfeel. A memorable food match would be Callebaut pudding with beetroot cardamom glaze and cherry nougat. The chocolate would match Block 9's palate with sweetness, the beetroot adds savoury, cherry complements the tannins. Block 9 is approachable now, the structure will continue to integrate and soften more towards the back palate as it evolves and develops

Forest Hill Estate Chardonnay 2009

[ More info ]

A wine of elegance and subtle intensity, Forest Hill represents class in any company. Aromas of ripe peach and apricot are complemented by light citrus. Hints of vanilla, dry fig and perfumed lifted Burgundian oak introduce a style with a rich intense full palate backed by pleasant hints of roasted almonds and butterscotch. A reflection of the best fruit from a superlative vineyard. "Characterised by smokey oak and barrel ferment aromas, this wine has a palate that is quite tight for a wooded Chardonnay, making it relatively zesty in style!" -Scoop Magazine

Forest Hill Estate Riesling 2009

[ More info ]

Forest Hill's experience with Riesling dates back forty years to when the first two acres of vine anywhere within the Great Southern region were planted. One of the most precious sites near the superior terrains around Denmark, it was selected by Dr John Gladstone, one of the pioneers of West Australian viticulture, and later acquired by Robert Holmes à Court. "Talc and dried florals, honeysuckle, lime and quartz, fully focused, confident and linear. A delight for those who love their Rieslings quivering with fruit and lustrous with minerality!" -RieslingRider.com

The Forest Hill Vineyard is planted very close to Mt Barker. It's unique topography, deep gravel soils and proximity to the Southern Ocean ensures mild summers with cooling southerly breezes. Forest Hill adhere to principles of dry growing their grapes, believing it to be a major contributor to vine health and the concentration of fruit flavours. "Influenced by the exuberant maritime winds, this is a wine that's hard to beat for intensity and ripe but steely fruit. Asparagus and farmyard fragrances, currants and flint, lime and wild nettle!" -Wine Mag.com.au
