Kamberra Wine Company wines hit Local Liquor stores
A wide selection of local Kamberra Wine Company's Meeting Place wines 2009
vintage are now available in Canberra and Queanbeyan Local Liquor outlets.
Traditionally available at cellar door only, Meeting Place wine varieties now
available at Local Liquor outlets include a Sauvignon Blanc Semillon,
Chardonnay, Riesling, Viognier, Sparkling Chardonnay, Shiraz and Cabernet
Sauvignon Merlot.
The inspiration behind the wine label name comes from the translation of the
Aboriginal word Kamberra meaning 'meeting place'. Kamberra Wine Company
Assistant General Manager, Will Penny, said this name was chosen as it reflects
the essence of what Meeting Place wines are all about.
"Meeting Place wines are all about providing a point of meeting for the local
grower, winemaker and wine drinker. A glass of Meeting Place wine connects all
three," said Will.
Will expects the Meeting Place wines to be popular among the local community as
the flavours are fresh and lively.
"The white varieties are lively with bright, zesty fruit flavours. The Sauvignon
Blanc Semillon shows flavours of passionfruit and green melons, the Chardonnay
offers fresh aromas of white peach and grapefruit and the Sparkling Chardonnay
has intense white peach and citrus characters. These wines are perfect
accompaniments to a meal of grilled chicken or fish," he explained.
"The Riesling boasts intense citrus, floral and exotic lychee flavours. The
Viognier is an exciting wine with a combination of apricot, lychee and spice
flavours. Both are great to drink with Asian dishes," he said.
Kamberra Wine Company is also renowned for its variety of Meeting Place reds.
The company's wine maker was awarded the 2009 Jimmy Watson Trophy for young red
wine.
"The Shiraz has intense perfume and bright red fruits. The Cabernet Sauvignon
Merlot is a gutsy, earthy wine with intense dark fruit and a soft elegant
structure. I would recommend both these wines to accompany a meal of beef or
duck," said Will.

Connoisseur Catering.
Kamberra Wine Company's function centre provides a scenic winery setting for all
