Vertical Tasting - Gaja Barbaresco, Tuesday 13th October 2009, $250
Angelo Gaja became a legendary figure in Piedmontese winemaking for introducing to the region such innovations as crop thinning and barrique aging. His great single-vineyard wines from both Barbaresco and Barolo are now bottled with only a broad Langhe appellation, allowing him to add a defiant smidgen of Barbera. However, Gaja Barbaresco remains 100 percent Nebbiolo and is aged 12 months in barriques and 12 months in large oak casks. Always stunning effort, the Barbaresco is the baseline if not the flagship of the Piedmonte powerhouse. Join us as we taste selected vintages from the 1980’s and 1990’s.

Mount Mary commands a mythical status among wine collectors. Quintet is a Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot blend. Owing to vine age, the wine has become richer and more complex in later years. The wine exhibits a purity of fruit, poise and structure found in few Australian Cabernets with fine-grained savoury tannins and superb length. Quintet resonates an individuality of place and quality is usually outstandingly good, although as a single vineyard wine, the vagaries of vintage can come into play. Join us as we sample 6 vintages back to the 1980’s.
