A dry style Rosé with red flower and potpourri type perfume and some spice which is not surprising as it is made from Shiraz. I do like th...

Lots of honey dew and melony aromas flick around here moving to gooseberry, passion fruit and asparagus flavours. Some textural interest...

There's an energetic vibe about this wine. That was my first thought after a whiff. Small additions of Grenache (6%) and Mataro (3%) w...

There's a simplicity to this wine which is quite attractive yet it also asks some subtle questions. Sure it's been wild yeast ferm...

I tasted this with a couple of '12's and the colour here was the darkest of the lot with a golden straw appearance. Without jumpin...

A friend popped over with this and to help fend off a steamy afternoon, we ripped in. The vines for this wine were planted in 1892 and a...

Whatever winemakers Adam Carnaby and Mel Chester are doing at Seppelt, I hope it doesn't change. They are pumping out some exciting wi...

A good looking wine with a slight bronze appearance, I was looking for the fruit to reveal itself and it took a while.  Some peachy, poach...

Writing a plethora of notes before evening sticking this in my mouth speaks volumes for the quality of this wine. There's so much goin...

This is no where near the Sauv Blanc winemaker Duncan Cook has produced in the past. But that's what you get when you have a heap of r...

Another cracker from Ray Costanzo. Gee he is making some tasty booze at the moment and this Mourvedre is right in the slot. Savoury drie...

Whoa! A belter!! And if there was to be a criticism straight off the bat, I reckon some may believe there is too much mint here but I re...

Another excellent release from Voyager Estate. This is really smart. It's easy to see that the best of everything has been thrown at...

The marketing push with this wine is the low calorie and low alcohol pitch. The fruit is picked early to achieve the 7.5% alc. Whilst pick...

Sirromet is Queensland's biggest producer of wine. This is their second tier label, and a quick look at the website indicates there is...

Out of the four The Chronicles wines sampled, this would be my preferred. Whilst there is no wow factor, it is easily the most approachabl...

I do like the branding on these Chronicles wines but sadly for me that's where the enjoyment draws to a halt with this Shiraz. Dark ...

In the words of winemaker Ray Costanzo, the Granite Belt 2012 vintage was perfect. So much so, to recognise how superior it was to those p...

Well hello! Fresh with a spring in its step, this is super food friendly and the type of wine which makes you sigh with disappointment that ...

I can see people going back to this wine as their go-to drop of choice. You'll be pretty happy with what you get for the RRP $23. Vi...

A handy style of Chardonnay. You can see the effort that has gone in here with the influence of lees adding some good complexity. All the ...

I'm in a privileged position to taste a heap of samples. And just trying to restrict every wine to the tasting part is the challenge a...

I was gifted this by good mate and passionate Taswegian Tony Peters. He's always quick to set the record straight and tell me and ever...

This is a fruity wine but to be succinct, it's just simple and lacks interest. It's more of a Sem Sauv than a Chardonnay. Tropical...

Tempranillo is a variety which I can see shaking up the scene in coming years. Made well, it is so approachable and ridiculously food frie...

Tip this in the glass and it's fresh and vibrant. Think white lilly flowers, pear skin, freshly cut green apple and green melons. ...

This is the cheaper of the two Pinot Grigio in the Pizzini line up. It shows varietal traits but is just a tad simple for mine. Honey pu...

I really enjoyed this drop. It stands head and shoulders above the cheaper Pinot Grigio in the Pizzini stable. Captivating aromas of  wh...

My friend Gill and I are good for one another. She has a strong dislike for New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc as do I. You taste one, you taste ...

A very attractive medium bodied blend in many respects. There's plenty of fruit, it's nicely balanced, and there's already four ...
