The 99 Vintage Bubbles is the perfect aperitif. It is made from
the classic sparkling wine grapes - chardinnay, pinot noir,
and pinot meunier, sourced from Orange and the Pyrenees districts.
It shows toast and tropical fruits on the nose and citrus fruits
on the palate. It has a creamy mouth-feel and lingering, clean
finish.
1999 Canonbah
Bridge Reserve Shiraz
The fruit for this wine is sourced from McLaren Vale. It shows
pepper and sweet raspberry fruit on the nose and vanilla characters
extracted from time in new French Oak. A burst of ripe fruit
in the mouth is supported by peppery tannins and a savoury,
lasting finish.
2000 Canonbah
Bridge Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
Canonbah Bridge Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2000 has has delicate
lanolin, mineral and floral lift to the nose. It is tight, crisp
and delicately flavoured on the palate. Overall it is an extremely
versatile wine that would suit just about any event.
