Special Hoffer on Steve Hoff Wines....
From family run winery, winemaker Steve Hoff produces fantastic
quality wines from Marananga in the Barossa Valley.
This is what their website says about the wines...
Semillon
Semillon is one of the truly great white varieties of the
Barossa Valley. Our Semillon is sourced from a vineyard 4 km north
of our winery at Kalimna. 10% of the fruit is fermented in American
oak barrels, and the wine is bottled early, to retain optimum
varietal character.
The nose shows citrus/lime characters with just a hint of oak.
The palate displays distinctive fresh lemony Semillon flavours with
good weight and an impressive dry finish.
This wine is bottled with a stelvin closure to seal in the
freshness & aromatics without the risk of cork taint.
This wine is an excellent mouth-filling drink that is an ideal
accompaniment to food, in particular, veal, chicken & fish.
Cabernet Sauvignon
The grapes for this wine were grown by our neighbours, Peter
& Anita Frazer, whose low-yielding vineyard produces fruit of
intense richness & varietal character.
The Cabernet Sauvignon is a blockbuster of a wine with rich dark
fruit and balanced soft oak tannins, produced from 12 months ageing
in American oak barriques.
This is definitely a wine to cellar for a number of years but
for now, it is seriously easy drinking.
Barossa Shiraz
This Shiraz was made from 100% Shiraz grown at Marananga &
Greenock, both areas renowned for producing quality Shiraz
grapes.
This flavoursome wine has intense colour, showing loads of
syrupy blackberry & spice on the nose. The palate is
full-bodied, with toasty oak & sweet fruit in good harmony.
Twelve months maturation in American oak barriques has added a
subtle depth to the varietal characters.
Already drinking beautifully, this wine will reward with further
cellaring & is ideally suited to roast lamb, rare rump
steak.
Rossco's Shiraz
In years when our Shiraz wine is of exceptional quality, we
release our flagship wine, Rossco's Shiraz.
Rossco's Shiraz is named after our loyal grower Ross (Rossco)
Kalleske.
This wine is pure Barossa Shiraz, big, full, flavoursome. The
palate has firm tannins and good oak flavour. The Rossco's is a
wine to cellar for at least 10 years and a great example of Barossa
Shiraz.
Acclaimed writer for The Age, the late Mark Shield, once
described Rossco's Shiraz as 'The Brother of Grange'! Mentioned in
The Age by Jane Faulkner "Rossco's is affordable and a beaut
example of a bold Barossa style', and the Gourmet Traveller
Magazine in 2003 praising both Steve and the Rossco's Shiraz.
