Bridgewater Mill is a well-established and highly regarded label in the wine
industry. The brand was established in the 1980’as a second label to
Brian Crozer’s famous Petaluma and with exceptional quality Adelaide
Hills fruit in the bottle, Bridgewater Mill became an outstanding brand in its
own right.
The wine we have selected is Bridgwater Mill Pinot Gris 2008. Although it
is almost 3 years old, this Pinot Gris is still showing fantastic youthful
characters but should be drunk now and within the next 6 months, but
that’s fine, because we still have a lot of great summer lunches to come.
Not only is Pinot Gris great for summer lunches it can be a great match for
Asian food.
Here are Lisa’s tasting notes on the Pinot Gris;
"A good example of Pinot Grigio with plenty of spicy pear character showing
some development with some deeper stonefruit characters. Dry, fuller
body, good length. A very enjoyable wine to drink now."
This wine sold for between $19 and $21 per bottle. Our Guide price is $12.50
Also landing in our warehouse this week is the Preece Chardonnay 2008. This
wine is regularly reviewed in the press since it hit the market in the 80s and
has constantly delivered quality for price. It’s sourced from Victorian
Vineyards this is a fruit driven chardonnay which means it’s only lightly
oaked and showing great tropical and stone fruit characters. Try it with
chicken.
Lisa’s tasting notes are;
"Is just showing Ripe pineapple, peach & melon characters with crisp
acid, medium to full body that is drier, rounded & honeyed with some age. A
good wine for dinner drinking over the next 12 months."
The wine was retailing at $14 – $17 per bottle our guide price $9.00 per bottle
