Tenafeate Creek GSM 2022

 

Silky with a comforting embrace, this is a delicious GSM from Tenafeate Creek. Attractive aromas and great fruit combine to deliver a wine that oozes large pours and big comfy chairs.

Pikes Olga Emmie Riesling 2023

 

I've had the opportunity to taste a handful of off-dry Rieslings of late, and this Pikes Olga Emmie is the best of them. On first inspection, my mind rushes to my childhood with Whizz Fizz lemon sherbet and Pine Lime Splice cutting loose. Yum!

Tenafeate Creek Judgement Shiraz 2021

 

That colour! So bold and dense. The flagship wine from Tenafeate Creek, this Judgement Shiraz is rich and generous and it deserves to be tucked away for some time yet.

A serving of hot chips or some battered fish (or both) is the order of the day to help this Riesling along on its way.

Schwarz Wine Co Grenache Blanc 2023

 

Hasn't Grenache Blanc seen a meteoric rise in the Barossa of late? A few years ago it was barely around, now there are several producers throwing it about with more plantings to come. This release from Schwarz Wine Co is tops. I love the mouthfeel and textural presence.

The flavour train has left the station and it appears this fizz didn't jump on board.
