Top Australian Wines Pty Ltd has bought out some wine from Passing Clouds winery and dedicated it to The Queensland Flood Relief.

$5 from each bottle will go the the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal

Tasting notes:

Colour:

Good deep red, with some young lighter ruby edges to it.

Nose:

Quite an intense nose. This wine shows complexity, well handled ripe fruit and good wine making skill. There is a lifted floral perfume, and underlying mix of spice, tar and inky-ness. Ripe red berries, great depth and intensity. Blood plums, great fruit presence.

Palate:

The wine presents all the concepts of the nose through to the palate with the added dimensions of oak derived texture and a great lasting length. The spice blossoms on the palate and is well balanced by the fruit, and tannins, which are not aggressive, but present as a young wine. The finish of the wine is lasting, but well balanced where no component is dominating. A good wine with a solid core of ripe fruit and good palate texture and presence.

Only $24.99 per bottle and can be purchased here:
