Barratt Wines Uley Vineyard Pinot Noir 2021

 

Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir from Barratt Wines. Earthy and leafy, it has an autumnal feel about it.

Barratt Wines Uley Vineyard Chardonnay 2022

 

I love the energy and texture here. This is my first look at the Barratt Uley Vineyard Chardonnay and I like what I see. 

Clandestine Vineyards Pinot Noir 2022

 

15% whole bunch, 30% new French oak and 100% juicy. This is the second Pinot Noir release from Clandestine Vineyards and it's a vibrant and perfumed bomb of pleasure. Well played.

Break Free Little Wing Shiraz Noir 2022

 

Carbonic maceration is a sexy thing - thousands of little ferments all happening in one big ferment. It's a flavour orgy of sorts. This Shiraz/Pinot Noir blend comes from the Adelaide Hills, and if low-fi wines are your thing, get this on your radar. 

Clandestine Vineyards Pinot Grigio 2022

 

Here we have a Pinot Grigio that is ready to refresh and delve into all at the same time. This is a great expression from Clandestine Vineyards.

Paisley Six Strings Tempranillo 2022

 

Wonderfully fragrant, this Tempranillo from Paisley Wines has some get up and go. Just add pizza or pasta for maximum enjoyment.

Paisley Linen Fiano 2022

 

Lunchtime wine. The approachability of these Paisley Wines never ceases to impress. This Fiano is sourced from the Adelaide Hills and tosses a blanket of texture across the palate to lure you in.

Hesketh Lobethal Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2021

 

If you like a little oak in your Chardonnay, head down this way. From the Adelaide Hills subregion of Lobethal, I like it.

Hesketh Regional Selections Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

A bit more serious than its Bright Young Things sibling, you can tell from the mouthfeel that this has its game face on.

A herbaceous and passionfruit driven Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc.

Rich, generous and wonderfully balanced, this is Tomich's top Chardonnay.

A dense and spicy Pinot from the Adelaide Hills. 

Tomich Woodside Vineyard Rosé 2021

 

This Pinot Noir Rosé is hyped and ready to charge at your soiree. Great stuff this.

Tomich Wines Woodside Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

Here is another example of why Aussies should be drinking more locally produced Sauv Blanc (if that's what you enjoy) rather than lining the pockets of those from across the ditch.

Tomich Wines Hill Sauvignon Blanc 2022

 

An easy-drinking Sauv Blanc from the Adelaide Hills.

Silver Lining Shiraz 2021

Silver Lining is Marty Edwards' way of giving back. Living with Parkinson's Disease, he is giving back with all proceeds from sales contributing to Parkinson's Research in Australia. The best bit is that this is a very smart wine - a win win.

The Hydropath Society Gruner Veltliner 2021

 

Gruner Veltliner has found a happy home in the Adelaide Hills. Take a whiff of this wine from the Hydropath Society and you can't help but want to imbibe. A fabulous drink and a blistering bargain, find it.
