Brewed according to an ancient secret recipe since 1995. It is to comemorate the memory of Count Hermann Graf zu Stolberg. Made out of the best ingredients ; specially roasted malt kilned to a dark roast which gives the beer a dark powerful spice and fine malt aroma. - Zwickelbier is essentially an effervescent form of a Bavarian Kellerbier. Westheimer Wildschütz is the first Zwickelbier that is available in the North America. Zwickelbier is unfiltered and unpasteurized, but the maturation casks (or modern tanks) are bunged or capped ("gespundet" in German) just before the end of fermentation. This furthers the dissolution of carbon dioxide gas in the brew. As a result, Zwickelbier builds up effervescence and has a nice creamy head when poured into a glass. Gold Medal from German Agricultural Society.

- The Shiraz grapes for this wine were harvested from David and Cathy Knight’s estate vineyard in Langhorne Creek. Shiraz from Langhorne Creek generally suits this style of wine well as Shiraz fruit from the region has no problem reaching this level of ripeness and displaying ripe berry characters. Furthermore Langhorne Creek Shiraz characteristically has a soft tannin structure that contributes to mouthfeel and early drinkability.
- Deeply colored Cabernet Franc is a sight to behold. As vignerons from St. Emillion World's end is well known for producing the highest expression of Cabernet Franc in Bordeaux with Le'dome . This wine is the direct production of grapes from Sugarloaf Mountain and Coombsville- Both Vineyards are based on slopes. Filled with floral, herbal, black berry, raspberry, coffee and brown sugar aromas.
- The Cabernet Sauvignon that makes up this wine comes from vineyards that provide the basis for many a cult wine. Vines from the hardy lower slopes at Coombsville are couped with Sugarloaf mountains west and south facing slopes. Finally some input from Circle S up in the mountains on some of the highest parts of Napa . French inspired fermentation makes this wine a California wine with a twist. Great Balance of Voluptuousness and Structure.
- Brambly and spicy red and black fruit mark this mighty Cabernet, sourced from the framed To Kalon Vineyard in the Heart of Oakville. Despite it's name it offers only good times, a well composed, unabashedly hedonistic taste of juicy rip Napa fruit and overtly lush tannins.
- A deep purple color is followed by abundant notes of crème de cassis and flowers. This full-bodied wine touches all of the taster's sweet spots.
- The dark, formidably looking 2010 Merlot Little Sister (85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits lots of Chinese black tea, mocha, black cherry, licorice, spice, coffee bean and mulberry aromas. Creamy textured, round and succulent, this medium to full-bodied Merlot is one of the finer examples of this varietal in Napa Valley. It should drink well for a decade.
- The wine hits the mouth with medium to full body, glorious fruit, sensational purity, wonderful texture and length, and a finish that lasts 40-45 seconds. Usually blending Cabernet Franc and Syrah together would not be a high priority on most winemaker’s agenda, but Maltus marches to the beat of a different drummer and clearly has something special on his hands. This is a brilliant Syrah that should evolve for at least a decade.
- Lean and mean chard - not too much of anything, especially oak. Very minerally, with stone on the nose and in the mouth, as well as quince and Meyer lemon with very good vibrancy and liveliness.

The dazzling acidity keeps the wine dancing on the palate through the satisfying finish that leaves you wanting more.
- Inviting aromas of white peaches; vibrant and well-textured. The acidity and light oak presence allows the wine to evolve in the mouth, leaving a lively stone fruit and citrus flavor. 15% of wine was fermented in oak barrels. The stainless steel tanks and barrels were stirred frequently to impart complexity from the lees. 100% malolactic fermentation.
- Intense flavors of grapefruit and melon. A juicy mid palate with bright acidity and a long finish. The grapes were harvested in cool conditions and gently handled to optimize fruit expression. Low temperature fermentation enhances Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc characteristics.
- Ripe, with aromas of damsons, black cherries and spices, but balanced. The palate is full-bodied, with juicy flavors and fleshy tannins that are quite succulent and offer good balance between alcohol and acidity.
