An interesting pair of varieties thrown together for this Rosé but it works. A little darker in the glass with a cranberry juice tinge, it's a ready partner for a casual barbecue.

An $85 Riesling is certainly ambitious, but dig a little deeper and the reason is credible. A blend of fruit parcels from 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022, this release from Gundog Estate's Matt Burton is an exploration of flavours and textures.
Something a little different - Hunter Semillon meets Canberra Riesling. Bang! The first whiff slices through you. A smart wine this.

A melting pot of sorts that brings Syrah and Pinot Noir together from three regions - Canberra, Central Ranges and the Hilltops. An interpretation of the Hunter River Burgundy perhaps that seems very much in vogue at the moment.
A Rosé made from Shiraz and Cabernet, I found the Cabernet to really stamp its authority. It's the type of wine more suited for a casual BBQ than sipping on the sun on its own.
Take a whiff and it reminds me of the good old Mint Pattie chocolate. Shiraz from the Canberra district.
There is some energy about the way this skips along. A medium-bodied blend (57/43) that will please more than a few.
When you pour all your knowledge and expertise into one bottle to celebrate a milestone, this is what you get. A sleek, detailed and considered wine from Gundog Estate winemaker Matt Burton.
Pan fried chorizo and then some. Gloriously meaty. Prosciutto and pancetta too. Give me the meat board and a large glass.
Entrechat is a ballet step where the dancer leaps into the air rapidly crossing their legs behind. I tried it while tasting this wine - not a drop spilt! This is a traditional method sparkling made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir sourced from the Canberra district.
A pleasant medium bodied Shiraz Viognier from the Canberra district that slides down with absolute ease.
