Aromatic and poised, the 2021 Lady A opens with notes of white jasmine, almond meal, and stonefruit underpinned by subtle toasty oak. The palate is rich and textural, featuring bright toffee, poached pear, vanilla and apricot. The mouthfeel is velvety while a mineral saline edge and focused acidity provide structure, leading to a long, vibrant finish with lingering tropical and candied pineapple notes. Complex and youthful, this vintage exemplifies Lady A’s signature elegance and depth. 91% Sauvignon blanc / 9% Semillon

Reviews Domaine A Lady A 2021 shows a rich aromatic nose with smoky and herbal notes leading to a broad textured palate. A Sauvignon Blanc of real character and depth made to enjoy with food and built to last. Jancis Robinson Jancis Robinson 1720.Deep yellow colour showing considerable age. The bouquet is very complex and shows matured lemon curd honey vanilla buttered toast and discreet ripe herbal aromas. A really complex aged wine very rich and concentrated in the mouth with an amazing array of flavours honey nougat peanut brittle toffee and spice added to the list. The finish is totally satisfying. A sensational wine. - Huon Hooke The Real Review 97100When I think of classic Tasmanian wines the Lady A is one of the first names that springs to mind. Complex and long of flavour with tones of lemon curd guava and feijoa on a base of crushed riverstone. Theres all sorts of stuff going on. Sandalwood galangal ginger whey clover blossom and pressed citrus blossom you expect it to be more flavoursome but it dekes you and sails stony savoury and snow-melt pure on rails of marble-like acidity. Such a graceful drinking experience. Wonderful stuff. - Dave Brookes Halliday Wine Companion 96100

Winemakers Notes
The Lady Aa big rich opulent oaked sauvignonhas always had a cult following. With Peters winemaking the wine would normally have 100 new oak. In 2018 however record-breaking yields at Stoney vineyard meant we didnt have enough new oak for the full vintage and were forced to use less for the Lady A. I was pleased with the results though and opted to only use 80 from then on so youll see less overt oak influence in this wineas well as a push from my end for the wine to hold less residual sugar than past years. We also did extensive lees stirring to ensure the mouthfeel has volume and ensure a full palate. The warm year gives this release a very intense and ripe fruit spectrum. As its drinking very youthfully at present this wine will cellar for at least a decade. Optimum drinking time depends on how toasty and rich you like your Lady A.

About Domaine-A

Nestled at Stoney Vineyard (the oldest in Tasmania’s famous Coal River Valley), Domaine A boasts the perfect mix of terroir, philosophy, and patience to produce some of the finest wines in Australia. North-facing, temperate and close enough to the coast to catch a sea breeze, Domaine A vines receive some of the longest daylight hours in Australia, allowing for longer vintages of incredible subtlety and intensity. These ideal growing conditions caught the eye of Swiss expatriates Peter and Ruth Althaus as they scoured the southern hemisphere for somewhere to build their dream—a cool-climate alternative to the great estates of France and Germany. After establishing Domaine A, they took their time to produce some of the best big Bordeaux style blends Australia has seen, often waiting over a decade before even considering a vintage for release. This willingness to wait, and an attitude of quality above all else (even the bank account) kept Domaine A quietly at the forefront of Australian winemaking until Peter and Ruth’s retirement in 2018, when they handed over to the new custodians: Moorilla winemaker Conor van der Reest and Mona owner David Walsh.

Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,

P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
