Frog Rock Merlot 2005 (12 bottles)
Our Merlot is nurtured by Rick Turner from a small patch of our top block vineyard then made by The Lowe Family Wine Company. They use traditional open fermentation tanks, hand plunging and further enhancement by maturation in 2 year old oak barrels. This wine has a complex spicy tobacco leaf overtone to a core of sweet berry fruit dominant on the palate and finishes with round soft tannins.

Frog Rock Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2006
A delicious drink. This wine has lifted grassy and lemon/lime characters, a delicate palate and finely drawn dry finish. Perfect for an aperitif or long summer lunch… will cellar well if you can keep it.

Frog Rock Chambourcin 2006
Our Chambourcin is picked from a very small area of our vineyards, a variety that is still new to the wine consumer; we have discovered its potential of creating a unique wine that is further enhanced by the Mudgee growing conditions. The bouquet is full of fresh berry fruit aromas, and hints of spicy raisin, displaying subtle oak influence. The palate is full and round with a hint of pepper, and a soft lingering finish with naturally low tannins.

Frog Rock Petit Verdot 2006
Our Petit Verdot is made by Lowe Family Wine Company. They use traditional open fermentation tanks, hand plunging and further enhancement by a short maturation in 2 year old oak barrels. This wine has a deliciously elegant nose of mint and blackberry, earth and anise. A soft well fleshed middle palate of spicy plum is balanced with powdery tannins has considerable depth with subtle oak.

Frog Rock Old Vine Cabernet Sauvignon 2003
This wine is a true expression of the potential of Mudgee's ability to produce fantastic Cabernet Sauvignon. Our Cabernet grapes are picked from the older, more established vines in our vineyards. Lowe Family Wine Company ensure that the fruit is given maximum extraction using open fermenters and controlled maturation in new French oak so that palate displays a good balance between developed primary fruit flavours and subtle oak influence. The finish is long with firm tannins. These wines can be enjoyed upon release and will also benefit from further development in the bottle, cellaring for up to ten years.

|
Frog Rock Sticky Frog 2006
Our Sticky Frog is made by the Lowe Family Wine Company. This wine has aromas of nutmeg, melon, vanilla and cumquat that is backed by a deliciously sweet palate with balancing acidity and citrus peel dryness. This wine will mature very well in the bottle for 3-5 years but will require restraint!

Frog Rock Verjuice 2004
An exciting addition to the Frog Rock Wine collection is the creation of Verjuice. It has been included in our range to become an essential ingredient in any gourmet's kitchen.
Verjuice provides a suble flavour to cooking which gives it a wonderful affinity with such foods as seafood, chicken and game meats. It may be included in vinigarettes, hollandaise or Beurre Blanc. It is great when pan frying chicken or seafood in nut brown butter then splash the pan with Verjuice.
As a drink Verjuice is delicious when chilled and served with soda water and ice.
Available in 375ml or 500ml bottles.
