A famous McLaren Vale winery now boasts Italian magic, writes Tony Love

The Advertiser – Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Today we’ll speak only Italian.  The words, a wicked smile, and a jab in the ribs come from prominent Italian businessman Don Totino, who owns the food-and-wine distribution company Festival City.

1 H by Haselgrove 2008 Shiraz
$9-$12
The start-up range from this McLaren Vale collection, with a solid wave of shiraz fruit and lifted fragrance, as well as earthy touches and complexity. The H level cabernet merlot is quite a serious wine, too.

2 Haselgrove Primo Taglio (First Cut) 2008 Sauvignon Blanc/Semillon
$15-$19
Everything you could want from this blend, with lemon curd and tropical juices coming together as a classic dry white with a spike of soursob.

3 Haselgrove 2007 IL Padrone Shiraz
$50
Fruit from gnarly old vines goes into making this bright, beautiful shiraz with elements of coffee and mocha underneath a lovely violet lifted aroma. Lively, fresh and vivacious.

H by Haselgrove Cabernet Merlot 2008 $12

McLaren Vale winery Haselgrove is enjoying a fresh start under new ownership.  This sharply priced young cab-merlot is a crowd-pleasing commercial style.  Black-fruit and minty aromas are clean and appetising, and the palte is smooth, slightly fruit-sweet, gulpable and very soft. (Screw cap, 13.5 percent alchol.)

Cellaring? no.
