Sparkling Riesling (NV)
Clean, fresh, Clare-fruit lemony aromas with lovely bright, crisp flavours and revitalising structure that brings a smile to the sparkles and an uncomplicated pleasure in the wine.
*Consumer panel runner up - Hyatt, Advertiser SA Wine of the Year Awards, August 2007.
2010 Single Vineyard Riesling
Skillogalee has nominated by Gourmet Traveller “Wine” Magazine as one of Australia’s Top Ten Riesling producers. The 2010 vintage continues the proud tradition – zingy lime and lemon citrus with some mineral notes and a lingering crisp, dry finish – ideal on its own or with seafood.
2008 Trevarrick Riesling Sold Out
* WBM 1 in 100 Wine December 2008
* Gold Medal Clare Valley Wine Show 2008
“This dramatic Riesling is one of the most stunning wines made from this variety this vintage. It tastes like very pure green apple skin and lemon blossom, with mouth-consuming minerality and phenomenal length. It will mature for decades with effortless precision” - 96 points - Tyson Stelzer
2007 Chardonnay(Lees Stirred)
In 2003 Skillogalee acquired 30 hectares of vineyard adjoining our existing property. While this acquisition mainly expanded our supply of mature riesling, cabernet and shiraz, there is a hectare of chardonnay, planted around 28 years ago.
2009 Gewurztraminer Sold Out
Our Gewurztraminers are made in the classic style - aromatic and spicy with a crisp finish. The 2009 shows the unmistakable floral, rose petal aromas and flavours of Traminer fruit, sometimes also reminiscent of passionfruit or lychees. It has a strength of flavour and texture without being oily or overpowering, making it an ideal accompaniment to lightly spiced Asian food or flavoursome white meat dishes.
2009 Rosé (Cabernet Malbec)
Our first few vintages of rosé were so successful we have made this one in the same style. There’s fresh raspberry and cranberry on the nose and the palate, a hint of sweetness and a fine acid /tannin structure. This wine is best served chilled, especially during the warmer months, and is a great food match, particularly with fresh seafood, duck and contemporary Asian cuisine.
2007 Take Two (Shiraz/Cabernet)
This wine is the third in a new series of Skillogalee wines designed to be softer, more approachable, and to sell at a more modest price-point than our standard label red wines. We have sought to be less serious with the label also, with a fun story linking the name to the wine, on the back.
2006 The Cabernets
This Cabernet blend is another dark, rich wine in the Skillogalee tradition, with intense colour and powerful, warm aromas and flavours. The wine is full and soft with sweet, leafy fruit flavours, rich vanillin oak and firm structural tannins.
2007 Shiraz
The premium Shiraz fruit for this wine was picked from low yielding, unirrigated vines growing on the slopes around the Skillogalee homestead, around 450m above sea level. This Shiraz is a dark, rich wine in the Skillogalee tradition, with intense colour and powerful, warm aromas and flavours. On the nose and the palate there are blackberry, mulberry, plum and leather characters with hints of pepper and eucalyptus. The tannin structure is fine and there is a good level of natural acidity, keeping the wine fresh and lively and with a good measure of elegance.
2004 Trevarrick Cabernet Sauvignon Sold Out
Look out for the new 2007 Trevarrick. Coming soon.
The 2004 Trevarrick Cabernet Sauvignon was made from an exceptional parcel of fruit from old vines yielding less than a ton per acre. It is rich and dark with intense and complex aromas of cassis, mint, capsicum spice and toasty oak. The palate is smooth and velvety, showing superb balance between the fruit, the oak and the acid - tannin structure. It has weight with elegance and great length.
*Two Gold Medals and a Trophy to date.
2005 Harvest Gold (Sweet Riesling)
375mL bottles
Skillogalee’s “Harvest Gold” sticky Riesling tastes like really nice waxy honey, with elements of fresh orange blossom and sweet lemons. Not too sweet, it’s just the right shape for lemon tarts and other light or fruit based desserts. For something different try it ice cold in a small glass as a really sexy aperitif. Gold Medal and Trophy – Clare Valley Wine Show 2008
Liqueur Muscat
Our Liqueur Muscat is a rich red amber colour with a fresh, sweet raisin nose. The palate shows nutty raisin and apricot flavours, very full and sweet, but not cloying. The finish is lingering – very smooth and more-ish. The wine has been recently repackaged in a fabulous heavy clear glass bottle and comes individually boxed.
