Wine:Pinot Bianco 2007 and Pinot Grigio 2007 – Terlano TerlanoCantina Terlano was founded as a co-operative back in 1893 and now numbers over 100 contributing producers all farming tiny plots on terraces cut into the slopes of Mount Schöggel at altitudes of up to 1000 metres. These south-facing slopes strewn with crystals and volcanic rock give rise to wines of wonderful elegance complexity and minerality and give spectacular views into the Bolzano Valley below – this is where Italy meets Germany in more ways than one. What is so striking about Cantina Terlano is the consistent excellence of the wines produced vintage after vintage and the varietal character that marks every single wine without oak to cloak the aromatics. ‘Kellermeister’ Rudi Kofler aims for wines of typicity and longevity and he achieves this with impressive regularity.Pinor Grigio 2007From vineyards at between 250-300 m on gravel and sandy clay soils this is a Pinot Grigio to banish memories of thin tasteless versions of this wine so often encountered. A fruity bouquet of ripe honeydew melon with a soft full palate balanced with a long clean fresh finish.Pinor Bianco 2007The Pinot Bianco benefits from the coolness of vineyards between 300-600 m on free draining and warm sand and gravel soils. Six months ageing on the fine lees adds complexity and length to this orchard fruit apples and pears scented wine. In 2006 the Pinot Bianco was awarded the honour of best value Italian white by the influential Gambero Rosso guide and this is just as good.

Wine:Henry Pike emigrated from England and established a brewery in Oakbank in the Adelaide Hills in 1886. It took the family almost 100 years to set up their own winery but it was worth the wait! The estate is in the Polish Hill River sub-region of the Clare Valley north of Adelaide where the relatively cool climate makes forfresh well balanced wines – a great destination for stylish elegant Aussies.2005 Luccio Red Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon/Petit VerdotA real one-off; savoury Sangiovese plus pure Cabernet blackcurrant fruit and a touch of black pepper from the Petit Verdot make for a barbecue classic.2008 Luccio White Pinot Grigio/Chardonnay/Sauvignon BlancA stylish flavour explosion! Take the perfume of Pinot Grigio add a pinch of Chardonnay peach fruit with crisp clean Sauvignon and you are onto a winner.
