Tyrrell's Fifth Generation
Premium Brut
The colour is medium straw with a fine continuous bead. The nose has lifted fruit characters with some slight 'toastiness'. This characteristic shows the benefits of blending both aged and young wines to give this consistent style. The palate is soft and full flavoured with a good 'mousse'.
An ideal aperitif and will compliment hors d’oeuvres, pate, eggs, vegetables, fish and smoked small goods.
Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes > Wines > Houghton Stripe Range
Houghton holds Western Australia's highest tally of awards on the National Wine Show circuit. Notably, it holds the most awards for cabernet sauvignon, the red variety for which Western Australia is most acclaimed.
Lifted red berry, cedar box and hints of oak aromas lead to sweet fruit on the front palate complimenting the gentle tannins and long finish. Great with a juicy grilled steak or roast duck. |
Classically Houghton, this blend creates a complex wine of red berries enhanced by black pepper and subtle oak. Soft juicy tannins lead to a lingering and delicious finish. Great with barbequed lamb or Moroccan spiced chicken. |
Houghton Stripe Range Chardonnay Full flavours of rich melon and white peach are complimented by beautifully soft acid and a touch of oak to provide complexity. Great with steamed fish, barbequed prawns or chicken salad. |
Melon and peach Chardonnay characters combine with Verdelho tropical fruit flavours to create a clean, fresh wine with a lingering, soft citrus aftertaste. Great with seafood or roast poultry dishes. |
Aromas of citrus, gooseberry and passionfruit lead to a refreshing, vibrant and soft palate with citrus fruit flavours prevailing. Great accompaniment to fresh seafood, chicken or salad. |
Houghton Stripe Range Shiraz The Shiraz is of a deep vibrant colour, fresh on the nose with pepper spice and hints of cloves that linger on the smooth palate. Great with lamb, Moroccan dishes or hard cheese. |
Ed Carr, the "Guru" of Constellation Wines Australia (formerly Hardy’s) has once again wave his magic wand, this is a delicious drink-young style sparkling. A delicate, clean, fresh, & simple wine with good length. The Houghton Sparkling Rosé is dark cherry pink in colour with rose petal and wild berry aroma on the nose. It has deeper than expected flavours, bold, slightly sweet on the palate balanced by crisp natural acid, with a reasonably dry finish. Enjoy this as an aperitif. |
Made from a blend of premium aromatic white grape varieties, Houghton White Classic (formerly White Burgundy) is crisp and refreshing with flavoursome passionfruit, melon and clean citrus characters. Enjoy with most South East Asian dishes, white meats or simply on its own. |
