Tuesday, 01 April 2008 |
Angove's Winery, Australia's Quaff Winery of the Year and one of the country's oldest family-owned wineries, announces the US debut of its Nine Vines Wines. Although available in limited amounts last year, in January 2008 the US market will get its first official taste nationwide of Angove's award-winning Nine Vines Grenache-Shiraz Rosé, Nine Vines Viognier and Nine Vines Shiraz-Viognier.
Angove's was recently crowned 'Winery of the Year' by acclaimed wine critic Peter Forrestal in his annual wine guide Quaff 2008. The US debut of Nine Vines follows on the heels of this news, bringing American consumers
competitively priced varietals in "hip" packaging, all of which have awards and gold medals from critics and international wine competitions, the company relays.
The Nine Vines Rosé is a blend of grenache and shiraz with a fresh, crisp palate with length and balance that exudes aromas of raspberry and cherry, describes the company. The Nine Vines viognier is aromatic and full-bodied with flavors of apricot, peach and citrus. The Nine Vines Shiraz-Viognier contains 6 percent viognier, which imparts soft apricot accents to the spicy black pepper flavors of the shiraz.
This lauded rosé was also awarded the Trophy for the Best Rosé at the Internationally recognized Decanter Fine Wine Awards in London and won a coveted Top 100 Blue Gold Award at the Sydney International Wine Competition.
"With 120 years of heritage behind us, we stand to lead the way for the future of Australian wines," Victoria Angove asserts.
The wines retail for $11.99 and will be available in top wine shops and restaurants nationally.
