Velvety, juicy, tasty.
Township 7 has a house style of plush red wines and this one does not differ. Intense and velvety on the nose, it offers creamy chocolate, plums and spice cake, dried violets and baking spices and cedar chips. The palate entry is juicy, it has a soft mi-palate and flavours of dusty plums, cocoa and spice. Overall, good balance, a tasty wine. Pair: BBQ, hearty tomato and meat pastas, roasted lamb, or medium to hard cheese

Complex, creamy, fresh.
The reserve Chardonnay from T7 is barrel fermented and aged and has a savoury and sweet character. Notes of yellow apples, browned butter, vanilla and roasted nuts lead to a palate that is supple and creamy but also fresh and lemony. Great balance and texture here; the finish is long and trauls vanilla and spice flavours. Pair: lobster, cedar planked salmon, creamy chicken dishes, creamy fettucini, grilled white fish, breaded and fried oysters, roast chicken or squash ravioli.

Effusive, bouncy, precision. This effusive and exuberant Sauvignon doles out generous elderflower and nettle, grapefruit and guava, peach nectar and honey. It is delightfully bouncy with lovely fruit expression and very good precision.
Pair: Asparagus fritters, herb quiche, coconut curries, seafood salads and most appetizers. *label shown differs from the actual reserve label--no correct image available

Dry, straightforward, lean.
The Fool's Gold Vineyard is located in north Oliver and this Riesling is a nice (dry) addition to the portfolio. Sadly the 2017 is not as lovely as the previous vintage, it seems oxidative with notes of bruised peaches, yellow apples, musky honey and starfruit. The palate is lean and straightforward with a medium-ish lemongrass finish.
