Ridgemill Estate Mourvedre 2014

Seppelt Jaluka Chardonnay 2015

›
A pretty smart Chardy here for around 25 bucks. Shop around and you'll find it much better - and it's worth it. White fleshed pe...

Magpie Estate The Salvation Gewürztraminer 2016

›
An off-dry style with the fruit wrestling the attention away slightly from the pretty aromatics usually seen taking centre stage with thi...

Willow Bridge Dragonfly Chardonnay 2016

›
A Chardonnay quick out of the blocks - 2016 already! This is a great introduction to the variety showing some complexity from old oak (50%...

Paringa Estate Masterclass with Lindsay McCall

›
"Red what?" These were the words which kick started Lindsay McCall's passion for winemaking in 1974. Last night I had the ...

Rolf Binder Montepulciano 2014

›
A heavier and more dense example of this Italian varietal, but the generous delivery has me sucked in admittedly. Tar, dark cherries and...

Savina Lane Wild Ferment Viognier 2014

›
Savina Lane is the newest edition to the Granite Belt winery scene and sits on the site formerly known as Back Pocket. A new cellar door w...

Yalumba The Persuader Shiraz 2014

›
As I pour this into the glass my attention is drawn to the dark appearance. A splash of Petit Verdot has made its way into this wine and i...

Gartelmann Wilhelm Shiraz 2014

›
A wine which has that 'reliable' feel about it. Sourced from a vineyard in Broke in the lower Hunter, this spent 13 months i...

Rolf Binder Eden Valley Riesling 2016

›
Damn this is delicious! Bursting with energy, it prances about on point with absolute ease. Citrus goodness explodes out of the blocks...

Hollick The Gondolier Barbera 2014

›
I was interested from the outset here - Barbera from Cabernet country. A handy wine reaching out with some complexity and richness. F...

Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache 2014

›
This is just a little package of happiness. It always has been really and may it long continue. On the lighter side of medium bodied, so...

Angove Alternatus Rosé 2016

›
A bit of a fruit salad of sorts here. Grenache, Tempranillo, Graciano, Carnignan (75/18/4.6/2.4) make up the blend. Credit to the wine mak...

Gartelmann Benjamin Semillon 2016

›
In a previous post I said my bit about the new label - I still don't like it. Limes drive this Semillon which comes off vines datin...

Overflow Estate Square Root Vermentino 2015

›
This is the second release of this Vermentino off the banks of the Wyaralong Dam - 16 kilometres west of Beaudesert. For the owners, a tri...

Yalumba The Strapper GSM 2014

A super easy drinking wine. You can tease out the three varieties pretty easily as they initially sit in isolation but all of a sudden wit...

Angove Alternatus Fiano 2016

›
Sourced from the Oliver's Taranga vineyard, a small portion saw skin contact for three days. The aim of this wine was to be a textural...

O'Leary Walker Bookies Bag Pinot Noir 2015

Coming off vines planted in 1990, there's plenty here to bring a grin your dial. Bright, fresh and juicy. Dark cherry fruit with so...

Angove Alternatus Vermentino 2016

›
The fruit was sourced from two McLaren Vale sites - one owned by Oliver's Taranga and the other on California Road. A leaner style, ...

Jim Barry Watervale Riesling 2016

›
Ridiculous value for the money spent. Riesling lovers should fight their way to the counter for stuff like this. Loaded with lemons a...

Hollick Pinot Noir 2014

›
Not your usual Pinot Noir territory but this works, and I like it. Only two Pinots come from the Coonawarra region, the other from Patric...

O'Leary Walker Lucky Punter Sauvignon Blanc 2016

›
I only said it again last week, but why buy Sauv Blanc from NZ when we have plenty of quality drops on this side of the ditch. Here we go ...

Cooks Lot Handpicked Shiraz 2014

›
I've never met Duncan Cook though we've shared numerous emails over the few years he has been sending me samples. He strikes me as...

Hollick Ravenswood Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

›
Hello to the flagship of the Hollick range. The best of everything has been thrown into this. A bit of a gutsy beast and some time in th...

Cooks Lot Handpicked Chardonnay 2014

›
Take a whiff and custardy oak rules the roost, a little too pronounced for mine.  Veiled honeycomb and then a squeeze of lemon sneaks thro...

Riversdale Estate Musca Syrah 2014

›
'Musca' is a small constellation in the southern sky - something I never knew. The significance between the constellation and the...

Earthworks Barossa Tempranillo 2015

Pizza night and pie night could make very good friends with this. It's not a wine that will set the world on fire, but it is a go...

Hentley Farm Rosé 2016

Super fresh and super fluorescent. Pretty pink, bright pink in fact looking an ever so slight shade darker than watermelon juice. Fresh ...
