Chardonnay
Woody Nook has made a Chardonnay this year as part of its Kelly's Farewell 'folkloric' series. Grapes were sourced from a small vineyard called Crooked Brook in the nearby Geographe area of Western Australia and this 2006 vintage will be included in the next shipment to the UK. More details when it is on its way.

Woody Nook Wines

 

Kelly's Farewell Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Sauvignon Blanc Chenin Blanc

Kelly's Farewell
Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This blend of 54% Semillon and 46% Sauvignon Blanc is fresh and vibrant. Tropical fruit, melon and grassy aromas offer appealing intensity of fruit on the palate, which is complemented by the long, lingering, crisp finish.

 

Sauvignon Blanc
 

An intense varietal nose leads to a delicate and elegant palate. There is good continuation of fruit flavour on the finish, which is fresh and crisp. Enjoy by itself or with seafood, pasta or light meat dishes.

 

Chenin Blanc
 

Woody Nook's Chenin Blanc has just a hint of sweetness. There are tropical fruits on the palate, with a honeyed smoothness and a refreshingly dry finish. Enjoy by itself or as an ideal accompaniment to a curry or any other spicy dish. It is an excellent luncheon wine.

         
Chardonnay   Velvet Rose   Shiraz

Kelly's Farewell Chardonnay

This Chardonnay is totally unwooded. It has delicate, appealing characteristics of pear, lime and grapefruit, with a rounded, lingering finish.

 

Velvet Rose

Each year Woody Nook's winemaker, Neil Gallagher, makes Velvet Rose slightly differently. This one is a blend of 80% Chenin Blanc and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon (which had been in French Oak for six years). It is slightly sweet and has an abundance of luscious berry flavours, with an aromatic nose and a finish of lingering velvety smoothness. Whether served at room temperature during the winter months or well chilled on hot summer days and nights, it is equally delightful.

 

Killdog Creek
Cabernet Merlot

This fine blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot has spicy fruit and cedary oak bouquet and a fruit driven palate with firm but rounded tannins and exceptional length.

         
Merlot   Cabernet Sauvignon   Killdog creek Cabernet Shiraz

Merlot
 

This 100% Merlot shows excellent colour and bouquet and has a depth of fruit with wood overtones. The palate has good structure and complexity, yet is still very soft with good acid balance. A very versatile wine.

 

Cabernet Sauvignon
 

The magnificent 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 has a nose which conveys an abundance of chocolate and blackcurrant with a hint of oriental spices. The palate is well-balanced with sweet fruit up front and soft mouth-filling tannins. The 2007 is also a classic full-bodied Margaret River style Cab.Sauv. Vibrant and complex, with a nose of ripe, mulberry-scented fruit with dusty oak overtones, the palate is well balanced. It won a trophy at the 2009 International Wine & Spirit Competition in London plus several gold medals and trophies for 'Best Dry Red' and Best Cabernet Sauvignon' in major Australian wine shows.

 

Killdog Creek
Shiraz

This Shiraz exhibits a tinge of violets and spicy white pepper characteristics on the nose, which carry over to the palate, enhanced by fresh dark berry fruits and sweet vanillin oak. It is especially wonderful served with lamb dishes. Enjoy it equally nor or by cellaring for a further couple of years.
