BARGAIN OF THE WEEK: Lillypilly Estate 2006 Gypsy Rose ... A very fruity, grapy, generously flavoured rosé with strong purple tones and exuberant cherry aromas leading into a very smooth, slightly sweet palate that is deep and satisfying. Slippery and low in tannin. 90/100. Food: antipasto platter. Huon Hooke, The Sydney Morning Herald, 12 June 2007 — SEE CLIPPING

FIUMARA THINKS BIG: By thinking outside the square, Robert Fiumara's dreams of establishing a winery have borne fruit ... Lillypilly Estate 2006 Gypsy Rose ... fresh and youthful berry fruit flavours and nicely balanced acidity ... drink chilled with Asian cuisine.

LILLYPILLY'S SOFT RED STANDS TEST OF TIME: The flood of light-red styles over the past couple of years suggests that winemakers are searching for the right formula(s) ... There are not many long-term players in this caper. That is why a label and a winemaker that has a light red with more than 20 years in the bag warrants investigation.

BACK TO THE DECKCHAIR: Lillypilly Estate 2006 Gypsy Rose ... really, really good ... Made in a dry style overall, the nose unmistakeably gusges fruit — fresh, vibrant and ripe stuff at that. Strawberries, raspberries and watermelon abound. Well rounded and luscious in mouthfeel, it finishes in a very savoury manner. Perfect with smoked salmon and cold potato salad. Enough said, requirements fulfilled — back to the deck chair (for a siesta perhaps)! Paul Ippolito, The Five-Minute Wine Rush (www.paulippolito.com.au) 18 February 2007 — SEE CLIPPING
