The Wishing Tree

Australian Premium Wine Collection was set up in 1996. As an owner and winemaker, John Larchet is a very busy man. In 1996 he set about making his dream into reality with the decision to create his own labels from wines of distinctive character. His labels “The Wishing Tree” and “Tir Na N’og” are all made with love and care. They represent some of the best value for money wines around and John Larchet’s name has become synonymous with quality and a distinctive style.

In John’s own words: “I love wines that are intensely favored, highly aromatic and expressive. But above all else, I love wines that are born with natural balance and harmony. In other words, “no arms or legs” sticking out; no excessive acidity, no excessive tannins, no excessive alcohol and no excessive oak. There is no doubt that wines that exhibit natural balance and harmony will always provide greater enjoyment and drinking pleasure.”

	The Wishing Tree Chardonnay 2008 This delicious unoaked Chardonnay is wonderfully fragrant and immensely refreshing. Peach, apricot, apple blossom, stonefruit and a beautiful citrus tang are supported by mineral notes and subtle dry spices. Lively, vibrant and makes for a delicious drink that you can match with just about anything. Don’t hold back. Robert Parker: 89 points
	The Wishing Tree Shiraz 2007 The fruit has been sourced from Australia’s most renowned growing regions, blending perfectly to deliver this classic Shiraz, with delicious red and black fruit characters, and enticing spice and pepper nuances. The palate is lush and intensely flavoured, with great balance and elegance. A very seductive wine. With or without food.
	Tir na N’og “Old Vines” Grenache 2006 Ruby-red color. Luscious red and dark berry aromas are complemented by smoky minerals and fresh flowers. Brighter red berries on the palate, which displays impressive sweetness and clarity and no obvious tannins. A smooth, highly seductive wine that is already delicious. Robert Parker: 90 points
