Tasting Notes - Kiss Chasey Current Releases (Recommended)

Kiss Chasey is the el cheapo label of Margaret River's Swings & Roundabouts winery. Both will trade at around $14 and both represent solid value.

2006 Premium White
Quite a classic if now old fashioned style. Reminisce of the Houghton's White Burgundy; this Chenin Blanc Chardonnay Verdelho delivers a heathly dose of rich tropical fruits in a straight forward and uncomplicated style. Fruit sweet, not dump sweet, and really quite gluggable. I love finding decent cheap wines like this.

2005 Cabernet Shiraz Merlot
A 'premium red' perhaps? Just about on par with the white. Again a dead simple fruit profile with a classy herbal grainy note from the cabernet (probably the dominant grape) and even a touch of tabacco. A little sweet to finish but in the main attractive for the price.
