Bottla wines from The Cidery

… offer a completely different wine experience at every stage of interaction, from the first viewing of the bottle through to the final mouthful.
As the label conveys, the bottles are fun but the wine is serious! They are sealed with a Screw Cap – for those who are tired of having to endure the all too often disappointment of cork tainted wine. The bottles contain 2 glasses, ideal to open for you and your partner mid-week and share over your evening meal at home, or if you are drinking alone – one glass tonight and one tomorrow night. Gone are the days of having to “knock-off” a 750ml bottle before it “goes off”, just because you fancied a glass of it!

The grape varieties and the wine also offer a different experience, presenting the little known Blackwood Valley Wine Region and perhaps Australia’s only dry style of the unique Taminga Grape.

The wines reflect our belief at The Cidery, that drinks should be essentially about enjoyment and fun while offering quality and interest at an affordable price point.

Bottla Red
	Bottla Red is a blend of Cabernet-Shiraz of approximately 60:40 ratio, from both American and French oak aged wines.Care has been taken with this oak aging so as to ensure balance with the restrained yet complex fruit character typical of grapes from the Blackwood Valley Wine Region.Generally the wine is of medium to full body, retaining generous fruit characters over robust tannin, structured for fuller bodied meat dishes.
Bottla White
	Made from locally-grown Riesling (80%) and Taminga (20%) grapes. While Riesling is a well know grape variety, Taminga is a uniquely Australian variety. Developed by the CSIRO, to be grown in warmer wine producing regions of Australia, while retaining the acid structure and finer fruit nuances more typical of cooler climate whites. Riesling and Traminer are among its parentage thus Taminga produces an aromatic wine with fresh citrus characters and a crisp cleansing acidity, developing complex aged Riesling characters at an early stage. While ideal for fish or white meat dishes it exhibits sufficient character to be enjoyed alone at any time of the day.
Bottla Bubbly
	Reminiscent of a Prosecco style, Bottla Bubby is made from Taminga (100%),  as a “frizzante” or semi-sparkling wine. The refreshing yet restrained sparkle allows the fine fruit characteristics to emerge and linger on the palate, while the residual sweetness is ideally balanced by the clean citrus acidity, typical of Blackwood Valley Taminga. Perfect with breakfast to awaken the palate!! –or more traditionally, to accompany sweet or spicy dishes.
Bottla Bubbly – Rosé
	For those long, WA summer afternoons, a refreshing sparkling Rose style wine would seem ideal.The nose offers an attractive wild berries aroma against a toasty background. The palate reveals a higher level of residual sweetness than the Bubbly White, which still sits comfortably alongside the fresh acid and ripe fruit characters.A wine that is bound to intrigue the most discerning palate.
