The reserve wine varieties include Chardonnay, Sauvignon
Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah. They're
packaged in 75cl bottles and all have a 13.5% alc. rating,
with the exception of the Sauvignon Blanc (12.5% alc.).
The wines are described as well-balanced, expressive
and fruit-driven, with superb varietal character and
unobtrusive alcohol levels. Paul Nelson is the Australian
winemaker working at the Indage vineyards.
The Sauvignons are described as close in flavour to
a New Zealand wine, with bright grassy fruit and stunning
complexity. The Shiraz has a distinct style, which is
more Côtes du Rhone than Australian in style,
while the Cabernets are getting bigger as the vines
age, needing several months in French oak to mellow.
When contacted by delWine, Ranjit Chougule, the MD
of Cougule remarked,' Yes, I am in UK right now, drinking
them. We are very pleased with this entry.'
The wines will sell for prices ranging between £6.99
and £7.49.
