This is a bit of a fruit salad of a wine, both in its make-up and its flavour profile! Made from a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay, it offers aromas of barley sugar and peach, backed up by plenty of pear, almond and lemon cordial. Zippy and fresh, it has a silky texture and is a little too easy to drink. Pam likes to Party!

Melissa and Simon Roe are the force behind Manyara. After a stint of some 20 years or so in Asia, they settled upon the elevated area of Balhannah in the Adelaide Hills to make their future. Simon had an early introduction to the wine world growing up around the vines of the Riverland where his family worked in the industry making wine. With the intrigue and allure of the wine world early ensconced in his mind, the opportunity to acquire Manyara was taken up quickly by the Roe family. Historically, prior to becoming a winery and vineyards, the property was horse training ground before the true potential was realised. Found just outside of Adelaide, in the cooler Hills region, the night time temperature fluctuations bring ideal conditions for growing top quality fruit. They focus on Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Pinot Noir and a few other varieties. These vines were planted in the early nineties which, at this age, provide real concentration of flavour and controlled elegance in the resulting fruit.
