New Releases
2007 Millamolong ‘Isabelle’s Ghost’ Riesling
“No surprises with this label. It relates to the Ashton family’s combined polo handicap. Fresh, crisp and lively flavours from Orange, where the variety performs well.”
John Fordham, One the Grapevine, Sunday Telegraph 13 July 2008
“Lemony (odd for an Orange wine), tart, and 24 goals. Sounds like a CWA stand at the footy, or polocrosse, depending on your preference and income. 8.5/10”
Max Crus, Quietly Quaffing, 19 July 2008
“The 28 hectare Millamolong vineyard is 600 metres above sea level in the Orange wine region and, as this wine shows, does Riesling well. The 2007 24 Goals Riesling is pale straw in the glass and has kiwifruit scents. Smooth ruby grapefruit flavour shows on the front of the palate and subtle croissant and green apple characters, with a light underlay of lime marmalade, chime in on the middle palate. Flinty acid refreshes at the finish. It would go nicely with sushi, seafood cocktails or grilled fish with anchovy butter.”
Ageing: three years
Rating 4 out 5
John Lewis, Uncorked, Newcastle Herald, 18 June 2008
Tasting notes
2007 Millamolong ‘45 Miles’ Shiraz
“These are all from the high, cool Orange area. Millamolong’s star to me is the juicy, ripe, finely sculpted shiraz. It’s closer to grape juice than wine at this early stage, but should be absolutely delicious with just a few months’ bottle age.”
Chris Shanahan, Top Drops, Sunday Canberra Times, 6 July 2008
