Sister’s Run is serious fun. Our talented young winemaker Elena wears steel cap work
boots every day of course, but carries a pair of high heels in back of the ute, only for
emergencies, like last minute invitations to accept trophies at gala wine show dinners and
the like.
Returning from a ‘knees-up’ at midnight, mid vintage, she managed to kick off one high
heel and slip back into a boot’ just as the cellar crew cried out, ‘Run Sister Run’; and
exactly then our winemaker and label took flight!
The stiletto and boot are Sister’s Run; an independently owned and operated winery with
a fierce commitment to making the best wines we can from family vineyards. We don’t
take ourselves as seriously as we take our wines, but agree with Elena, all you need to
know about wine is the five ‘V’s and remember the best wine is the wine you like.
We hope you enjoy this wine as much as we did making it. Cheers from all at Sister’s
Run… Barbara, Elena, Geri, Helen, Jessica, Leah, Maree, Margie, Megan, Rosie, Sophie,
Stefka, Yordanka, Sunny and Honorary Sisters: Ant, Encho, Lance, Todor & Zar.
Colour:
Clear, bright, white-gold and pale straw; alive.
Nose:
Stone fruit aromatics: nectarine, apricot kernel, white peach, hints of rockmelon and the
faint and pleasant whiff of creamy and buttery oak. Attractive and immediate, giving and
friendly.
Entry:
Round and welcoming, this is a generous glass of happy and tasty chardonnay. The stone
fruits continue across your palate in a sunny yet stylish way..
Middle Palate:
There are also hints of almonds, butter, vanilla and yeast. All of this is offset by pings of
acidity and patches of mouth filling texture.
In Summary:
Convivial as this white wine is, it is a wonderful companion to a simply stewed jointed
chicken, cooked with mushrooms, lemon thyme, and white wine – maybe a glass of this
one – just a glass, though, as you’ll need to keep enough over for your use at the table. Oh,
and your luncheon guest, we mean guests, of course.
