"Sweetly floral and offering a wealth of fresh melon and peaches with orange blossom, too. The palate has a rich, fleshy and quite succulent feel with plenty of flavor, following the peach and lemon vein. Grilled nuts to close" James Suckling, Oct 2019

The aromas of the Valhalla Chardonnay 2018 are made up of ripe yellow stone fruits infused with flinty complexity and savoury nuttiness. The palate is concentrated with waves of harmonious flavours of ripe citrus, flinty lees characters and nutty, toasty flavours. 

Vintage 2018 began with a settled and dry spring resulting in great flowering and a corresponding excellent fruit set. Winemakers then enjoyed a relatively hot summer although there were intense periods of rainfall thanks to ex Tropical Cyclone Fehi and Gita which put the pressure on during harvest time. Temperatures remained warm into the harvest months increasing humidity however with careful attention to detail in the vineyard they were rewarded with excellent fruit.

All Man O' War's Chardonnay parcels are hand harvested and, for the Valhalla, macerated before pressing. The pressed juice is left un-fined in tank to begin spontaneous fermentation with wild yeasts. The fermenting juice is then fed and transferred to 500 litre French oak puncheons for fermentation that is hot and fast. The wines are then left on gross lees until blending, small doses of sulphur dioxide are added at topping to help prevent the onset of malolactic fermentation, no lees stirring is carried out. Blending takes place in the New Year and bottling is carried out prior to the following vintage, approximately 10 months in oak.

Food Pairing: The acidity is well matched with the weight and concentration of the wine, rich enough not to be distracted by any malo or heavy lees work. Valhalla ages well and 2018 will be no exception, robust enough to be paired with plenty of options such as roast fowl but subtle enough also to be rewarding with seafood. Drink well.

Balls balls balls and more balls
Color: Mixed Color-20PK
A lot of balls for the price they bounce well and my dog likes squeaking them cuz he thinks he's talking to us. My sister's dog comes over and wants to pull the fuzz off the Rubber Ball and sometimes take the squeaker out of the ball. We like the variety of colors so we can keep track of which ball is where.

Durable and relatively chew proof
Color: Mixed Color-20PK
We've tried a variety of square balls for our mini daschund because she loves to play with them. So far, these are the best we've purchased. They squeak well, but have the plastic squeaker opening covered by the colored cloth of the tennis ball, making the squeak less abrasive and preventing it dog from chewing of the squeaker.

Thinks a fun little sniffy toy
Color: blue, Color: blue
My puppy seemed curious and didn’t mind playing with this sniffy toy. It’s large and well made and has plenty of title spots to hide stuff. I put kibble in it and my little puppy sniffed and googled a way. I guess this is great for keeping dogs busy and entertained. It’s a pretty cool little way to give dogs treats or snacks.

Bright color and tough skin both great
Color: Regular-Orange, Size: 2.5"(Medium)-12 Pack
These tennis-style balls are, as promised, much tougher and thicker-skinned than an ordinary tennis ball, being made as a fetching ball for dogs. I bought them as foot covers for the legs of walkers used by the elderly, a very popular use. They work extremely well to protect rugs and flooring, and to make a quiet gliding cover, easier for seniors to move smoothly without snags. The usual tennis balls used for this purpose wear out pretty quickly, but this ball was made to be repeatedly fetched and gnawed on by your Rottweiler, so it's a big improvement. You will need a good cutting tool to score in the crosswise slits where you insert the walker leg; it's too tough for your household scissors, but that's just the point, right? It's tough. Very much recommended!
