2008 Little Demon Verdelho

In 1871 Scottish scientist James Clerk Maxwell proposed a thought experiment, that involved a hypothetical creature acting as a gatekeeper between two compartments to sort gas molecules according to their speed.  At first glance, such a system could potentially create energy from nothing… theoretically impossible given the laws of physics.  This hypothetical gatekeeper became known to physicists as Maxwell’s Little Demon, and has stirred debate in the science community for more than a century.

This vibrant white wine has aromas of freshly cut lemon, lime and pear, with a delicate floral note.  The zesty palate reveals lemon and pear along with juicy white nectarine flavours.  Made as an unwooded dry style, the result is both mouth-filling and persistent, with refreshing natural acidity creating a delicious, crisp wine.

2008 Adelaide Hills
Chardonnay

It was a straightforward decision to simply refer to this wine via its origin. The Adelaide Hills wine region neighbours McLaren Vale, and is in its own right a world-class region, being the home to many of Australia’s best white wines, including Chardonnay. These hills provide more elevated and cooler sites for viticulture, producing wines with good natural acid, structure and elegance.


A beautifully textured and elegant style, this wine displays fresh characters of pear, grapefruit and nectarine, with the refined influence of French oak maturation. A superbly balanced Chardonnay that captures the essence of its cool-climate origin.
