Wine Central

Australian Shiraz/Viognier originates in the Riverland region.  The grapes have a highly concentrated flavour, aroma and body.  Blending 90% red and 10% white grapes brings lush balance to this lively, deep ruby wine.  The wine has great structure but the overall impression is soft and velvety.  The long, gentle finish is ripe and appealing with surprising complexity.

Sweetness: 0 (dry)  Alcohol: 12.5-13%  Oak: 120g French  Body: Full

Pacifica White contains Semillon from Australia, Chardonnay from Black Sage Bench in the Okanagan Valley, and Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier from California’s north coast.  It showcases bright fruit, excellent structure and a long layered finish.  Delicious and ready to drink almost immediately this wine has the ability to change with time, evolving notes from one grape to the next.

Sweetness: 1 (off-dry – perfectly balanced and luscious)  Alcohol: 11.5-12%  Oak: none  Body: Medium-Full

I mentioned we blended three wines to keep my good friend Patti happy.  She loved the Limited Edition California Lake County Trio Blanca – but it’s no longer available.  We combined the Vintners Reserve Pinot Blanc, Selection Original Sauvignon Blanc and the Selection International South African Chenin Blanc.  Patti and I bottled the wine last Friday – and it tastes great!  I’ve put my share in the cellar, and will give it a couple of months, then compare it glass to glass with the Trio Blanca….because I have 2 cases of that in my cellar!  I wanted to name it Blankety Blanc, but Patti declared it was her inspiration, and therefore should be named “Inspired Trio”.  I’m good with that!

We would like to thank you for your continued support of Estate Crushendo over the years and are announcing we will be discontinuing this product. We are pleased to advise there are developments of a new improved Ultra-premium red wine.

The new 18L Ultra-premium red is one of the most exciting developments in recent Winexpert history and we’re eager to share the launch of this product with you. We have received many questions about this new product and while we will be holding off on the official announcement until July/August, we can tell you all five current Crushendo varieties will be in the new and improved format, pricing will not exceed the current Crushendo prices and we will be launching these varieties for sale in September.

We’ll keep you posted!
