Tennis club member, Tim Mosse of IEC Wines has specially selected these four wines with help from the tennis club committee. The details of each wine - which all taste great and are of exceptionally good value - are set out below. You can order a mixed case that contains three of each or purchase individual wines in half cases of 6. To order the wine, please complete the order form below. For every bottle sold, the club will make £1.

    Spitting Spider Chardonnay 2010

     

    Grapes:                     100% Chardonnay

    Alcohol:                    13%

     

    The fruit was sourced from two different vineyard sites in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Our fruit form the cooler Blewitt Springs vineyard was blended with the fuller bodied Chardonnay from the California Road vineyard producing a wine of flavour but with delicacy and finesse. The fruit was picked and crushed at night. As soon as the wine finished primary fermentation it was racked, cold stabilised and filtered prior to bottling. The sole aim of this wine was to create a bright, lively, refreshing and fruit driven white. Sealed with screwcap to retain maximum freshness and ensure freedom from cork taint.
