Sir Ian Botham ("call me Beefy") & Bob Willis (fast bowler) was overheard by Legend Sth Australian Winemaker Geoff Merrill likening the local beer to "weasel's pee" whilst on an Australian tour many years ago. Geoff Merrill Countered: "Well, if you don't like our beer, then try our wine" So began a long association that has lasted over 10 years. Geoff has been making wines for "Beefy" & Willis under the BMW label. These wines have been mainly exported (until recently) to the UK. BMW is recently launched into the Australian market and continues to maintain the high standards of Geoff Merrill. Today's offer provides 2 bottles each of the BMW range, To further help digest all the extra cost coming from the Carbon Tax, we will throw in as BONUS (Carbon Tax free) 6 bottles of Xanadu (Marg. River) Merlot. Toast to the Legends... Enjoy! BMW Chardonnay 2008 There are aromas of cream, toast, and peach on the nose. Generous and rich palate, with some stone fruit and cashew notes. Overall a style that has softness and generosity, but without being overblown, some vanillin notes also showing through. Well integrated and easy drinking style. 89 Points David Lemire â Master of Wine Tasted July 2010 BMW Shiraz 2006 The 2006 Shiraz has more lifted spice aromas, and has good medium bodied drinkability. Developing well in body, the elements are all in check, with no excess of oak or alcohol showing through. A savoury style, with a touch of seaweed character that McLaren Vale Shiraz can show, and some leather and clove notes. David Lemire â Master of Wine Tasted July 2010 BMW Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 Ripe aromas on the nose with mulberry and blackcurrant, and some nutty oak notes. Palate is rich and shows lots of sweet ripe fruit. The tannins have softened with bottle age, and there is good varietal character with some eucalyptus, redcurrant and tobacco flavours lingering through to the finish.
