Jonty`s Ducks, Pekin White (Organic)

Owner Johnathan Grieve employs a posse of ducks that patrol the vineyard looking for snails, which eat and harm the vines. The ducks are an eco-friendly way to avoid using harmful chemical poisons to kill pests and act as the guardians of the vines on Avondale. A taste of pure fruit, lime, grapefruit, pineapple, quince, with just a dash of honey on the nose. The palate is dense with ripe flavours and juicy with tangy peach and apricot flavours, delivered with good intensity and freshness. The mouth-watering flavours and acidity linger on the palate and the soft oak ageing gives it a full body feel.

Jonty`s Ducks, Pekin Red (Organic)

The Jonty`s Ducks wines are organically and biodynamically produced and named after Avondale`s team of natural pest controllers - their flock of ducks! Lots of blackcurrant, liquorice, with a hint of dark chocolate and ground coffee. The oak aged wine has an explosion of fruit on the palate and well integrated, elegant tannins to support it. The layers of fruit, combined with a silky finish will leave you wanting more, whilst a lingering after taste makes for a rather attractive finish. A rich red made from a blend of Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot & Malbec. Oak aged with sumptuous flavours of blackcurrant, spice and dark chocolate.

Sauvignon Blanc, Bio Full (Organic)

Chateau Grillon is sited on the limestone plateau of Barsac. The close proximity of the Ciron river in early Autumn increases humidity and bathes the vines in morning mists, which later give way to sunshine. It is these very precise climatic conditions that give rise to Noble rot - a sugar concentrating fungus that causes the grapes to shrivel and concentrate their sugars and flavours. This fresh, zesty Sauvignon from France is made with organic grapes and contains no added sulphites.
