The Watcher. It is an image steeped in legend and mystery. It implies transcendence and authority. The Watcher is a being of knowledge, of understanding, of concern, of influence.

At Fetish Wines, we value this level of attention to every step of the winemaking process, from the soil to the bottle. We do not want to manipulate wine, but to craft it by the subtle direction that can only be achieved through an intimate relationship with the land.

For this wine, Rolf Binder is The Watcher

Badge 2006 Rancho Santa Rosa Santa Rita Hills Chardonnay - Special Price $11.99, Regular Price $26.00

Thu, 28 Jan 2010 08:55:17 GMT

The fruit for Bruno's BADGE Chardonnay comes from Rancho Santa Rosa, in the STA. Rita Hills appellation. Toachieve the great balance in this wine, Bruno aged it partially in French oak barrel and partially in stainless steel. To keep the wine light, so that it danceson the tongue, he gave it partial malolactic acid fermentation. This blending of three different ways to age a wine and finish its flavor resulted in a winethat has a touch of oak, a little bit of body, and a light crispness generally not seen in Chardonnay. Whether you drink this wine alone, or pair it withfood, it’s an equally enjoyable treat.With lemony notes and a touch of sweet citrus rind, this Chardonnay has great balance, and a long finish. It pairs well with textural seafoods, such ascrab, shrimp, or lobster. So cook up a batch of the old-fashioned crab cakes and let the wine flow!

Plantagenet 2006 Hazard Hill Shiraz - Our Price $12.49

Mon, 01 Feb 2010 13:42:05 GMT

2006 was the coolest vintage experienced on record since 1982, which saw restrained, zippyand lighter styles of wine produced than usual. Fruit was harvested much later than normal,however in the warmer regions of Western Australia this fruit was sufficiently ripe yet withoutexcessively ripe flavours.

The 2006 Hazard Hill Shiraz was fermented at warm temperatures in closed fermenters thenpressed gently to ensure minimal extraction of harsh, bitter tannins. Each batch was maturedseparately in a combination of stainless steel tank and oak barrels prior to blending and bottling.Micro-oxidation was employed to some degree with the stainless steel-matured batches in orderto harmonise the structure.

Aromas of red berries and plums lead with a dash of dusty vanilla. The fleshy palate showsblueberries, raspberries and ripe plums with edges of mixed herbs and zante currants. Silkytannins offer understated support the length of the palate, finishing crisp and clean with justenough structure.
