John Kosovich Wines has forged a reputation for outstanding white wines. In particular, our Chardonnay and Verdelhos have been recognized amongst the best that the industry has to offer. Our current release of white wines continue this fine tradition.
2009 Late Picked Verdhelo
The grapes for this wine were left on the vines a little longer to fully riper for this sweeter style. The fruit was hand picked at 14 Beaume and fermentation stopped after 3 weeks leaving a residual sugar level of 30 grams/litre. Green straw in colour with spicy, honeysuckle aromas and full ripe fruit flavour. Enjoy as an aperitif or with a fresh fruit salad.
2010 Chenin Blanc
A classic Swan Valley variety. This is a soft elegant and well balanced wine offering a rich aromatic bouquet. Fresh, crisp and lively on the finish showing melon and tropical fruit flavours.
2009 Unwooded Chardonnay
A delightful chablis style wine vintaged from fruit grown on Swan Valley vineyard. Bottled young after maturation in stainless steel tanks to retain freshness and fruit flavours. Green straw colour. Aromas of pineapple, peach and melon. Excellent fruit flavour balanced by crisp acid. The palate has good length finishing very soft and dry. A wine that drinks well young, but will reward the discerning buyer with 5 years of careful cellaring.
