Normans Holbrooks Road Moscato Nv
Golden honey in colour. Bursting with sherbet lemon, passion fruit, and a hint of apple and veil of musk. Floral flavours with Turkish delight richness and strawberries & cream with a musk and apple backbone.
A Moscato full of tropical fruit flavours with great varietal character. The naturally occurring fruit acidity balances and gives a cool refreshing finish, which is crisp and clean.
Winemaking
Once the grapes reached their optimum maturity level they were harvested in the cool of the night and promptly delivered to the winery. Once fermentation was completed, the blend of juice was put together to ensure consistency across the wine. It was then filtered and bottled under screw cap to preserve the aromatic fruit.
Cellaring
Made to drink upon release while the fruit flavour is at its most fresh and vibrant.

Normans Holbrooks Road Merlot 2022
Vibrant crimson and magenta hue. Freshly cut plum and blackberry aromas, with hints of brooding dark chocolate and mint. Beautifully soft, fruit driven which is round and succulent. There is sweet plum and blackberry fruit with a full, rich texture and velvet like tannins with a hint of exotic spices.
Winemaking
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having oak maturation. Great to drink now, but will mature and develop complexity over the short to medium term.

Medium bodied wine which is fruit driven on the nose with raspberry and dark plum notes. The palate reflects the nose with ripe raspberry, plum and some floral notes. Hints of white pepper and spicy cloves provide an earthy finish to this moorish wine.
Winemaking
In 1853 when Jesse Norman purchased seven hectares of land on which he planted vines. A winery was later established at Holbrooks Road as his winemaking business expanded. This win pays tribute to Jesse's foresight and belief in Australia's wine industry.

Normans Holbrooks Road Chardonnay 2022
Pale straw with green hues. Highly aromatic style showing lovely notes of tropical fruit highlighted by peach, mango and citrus blossom.
Fruit driven unoaked style reflecting characters on nose perfectly with peach, fresh mango, and cream. Overall fine and creamy with a touch of nuttiness and zingy citrus. A refreshing wine with beautiful natural fruit acidity providing length and the finish is savoury and textural.
Winemaking
Machine harvested in the cool early hours of the morning from a single vineyard in South Australia’s Riverland region. We crushed, chilled and fermented the juice at controlled temperatures in the cool cellar. Extended lees stirring added a degree of complexity ensuring this wine over delivers in terms of quality and overall structure despite the use of no oak. The wine was bottled after careful filtration to retain the vibrant fruit and depth of varietal flavours.
Cellaring

Normans Holbrooks Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Deep red purple colour. Lush and complex aromas of red berry work well with subtle notes of savoury pepper and oak. Rich opulent mouth filling palate carries flavours of red berries and some hints of varietal flavours of capsicum. Quite savoury with clean tannins and soft oak only just noticeable but providing further length to this fruit driven style of Cabernet Sauvignon.
Winemaking
The fruit was picked in the cool of night then fermented on skins in static potters and rotary fermenters for a period of seven days to retain as much of the luscious natural fruit flavour as possible. Warm temperatures at the early stages of fermentation along with three days of post ferment maceration helped develop soft fleshy fruit and tannins while helping build structure. Following the pressing process, clarification and final blending the fruit was matured with select parcels having contact with mature French oak.
