2006 Forty-Two Degrees South Chardonnay

This one is a new one for us and delicious! Highly recommended and look at that nice price! What a Chardonnay should be! Grab you a few bottles this whole line is fantastic, a best buy and a hidden gem! Notes: Fresh stone fruit and ripe grapefruit aromas meld together, following to a soft fig and pecan flavorsome palate. Elegant cool climate mineral acid lengthens the experience. Went well with p⴩ de campagne on toast. San Clemente Wine Company (12 December 2008)

2006 Frogmore Creek 'FGR' Riesling

Classic aroma of petroleum, lime, dried herbs and a softness from 4% residual sugar. But the wine isnࡳ sweet as it sounds since the acid is high and the pH below 3.0! Unlike most other Rieslings, since the crisp finish allows it to work brilliantly with Thai food. Dan Berger (Dan Berger's Vintage Experience, The Weekly Wine Commentary Volume XIII, Issue 5, 13 March 2008)

"FGR" stands for 40 grams residual, which translates to 4 percent residual sugar by volume. This off-dry style has fresh lemon curd, apricot and pear layered with mineral and stone notes; lingering sweetness on the finish. Australian and New Zealand Riesling (San Fransisco Chronicle, 9 January 2009)

2007 Forty-Two Degrees South Sauvignon Blanc

Like a New Zealand south island SB on steroids! Huge grassy/dried herb aroma, and a mid-palate that would be appreciated by Sancerre lovers. Unlike many NZ SBs, this wine is bone dry and demands to be served with food. Startling, but perhaps not for everyone. Dan Berger (Dan Berger's Vintage Experience, The Weekly Wine Commentary Volume XIII, Issue 5, 13 March 2008)

2005 Frogmore Creek Chardonnay

Lemon curd and delicate tropical notes are embedded in somewhat oaky aroma; retains remarkable acidity and offers perfect food compatibility. Similar two $50 price range Chardonnays now on the market. Dan Berger (Dan Berger's Vintage Experience, The Weekly Wine Commentary Volume XIII, Issue 5, 13 March 2008)

2006 Frogmore Creek Iced Riesling

Brilliant aroma of fresh kiwi, rose petals, and delicate citrus notes. No honey here since the fruit was harvested early and then intentionally frozen in a tank before the fermentation began. Searing acidity balances the 14% residual sugar perfectly and a low 8.5% alcohol makes the wine light as a feather on the tongue. As good as any dessert wine you젦ind!

2007 Frogmore Creek Riesling (Australian vintage only) From the Region The 2007 Frogmore Creek Riesling ($24, 96 points) is an exceptional wine; in its class it was unanimously preferred over the other gold medals and looked even better in the various trophy taste offs. It is one of those wines with vibrancy and thrust that makes the mouth come alive, the aftertaste lingering (there is a feint touch of CO2 spritz) and encouraging the next sip. It is, to all intents and purposes, dry (certainly the balance is perfect), as the 2008 FGR Riesling ($24, 94 points) is noticeably sweet, yet equally well balanced. Two beautiful styles, immaculately crafted. James Halliday, Wine (The Weekend Australian, 7-8 February 2009)

2007 Frogmore Creek Riesling (Australian vintage only) Top wine of the 2009 Tasmanian Wine Show. From Tassieïal Valley, this is a very fine wine with a floral, citrus-blossom scent and lemony flavours. It has a nervy acidity balanced by a trace of sweetness. Intense, youthful and alive. Great now and for at least a decade. 95/100. Tastings Huon Hooke (Sydney Morning Herald, Good Living, 10 February 2009)

2008 Forty-Two Degrees South Sauvignon Blanc Bright sweet-pea aromas and an initial delicacy before more typical sauv blanc herbal and tropical fruit flavours add a succulent lift and vibrancy to the palate and crisp finish. Taste, Graeme Phillips (The Mercury, 11 February 2009)

2008 Frogmore Creek Sauvignon Blanc An intense and edgy drop with zesty herb, snow-pea, lime and Vietnamese mint aromas and flavours. Tight and tangy in the mouth with a fresh and clean, slightly tropical, dry herbal finish. Lovely drinking. Taste, Graeme Phillips (The Mercury, 11 February 2009)

2005 Forty-Two Degrees South (Unwooded) Chardonnay An aromatic, flavoursome drop with lovely developed honey and toast flavours underlying ripe stonefruit on the smoothly textured, full-flavoured palate. Nicely balanced and refreshed by good citrusy acid. Taste, Graeme Phillips (The Mercury, 11 February 2009)

2008 Frogmore Creek Sauvignon Blanc A mouthful from the south. Of all Australia෩ne areas, Tassie can produce sav blanc closest to the superpungent Marlborough style. This has heaps of ripe gooseberry flavour, but thereࡠfine, multi-layered floral elegance too. Taste, Max Allen (The Weekend Australian Magazine, Jan 31 楢 1 2009)
