An easy-going Rosé from Languedoc.

The weight of this bottle may be the reason cargo ships are taking so long to traverse the seas at the moment. Damn, there is some glass in ...

An imported Frenchie to add to the pile for those that can't get enough of the already flooded Sauv Blanc market. Spending four months o...

  A quick look at Andrew Thomas' new Two of a Kind release - his traditional blend of Hunter Valley and McLaren Vale Shiraz.

  I described the 2017 as workmanlike and rustic. Nothing has really changed with this 2018. If anything, they are two very consistent relea...

There is a lot to like about the softness of this wine. A single vineyard Syrah from the Yarra Valley, it's very smart and a delight to ...

Cleansing and refreshing, this is solid aperitif gear from O'Leary Walker.

Malakoff or Malakov? The label states the latter which no doubt is an oversight. But then plums were misspelled on the label as 'plumes...

  This Curly Flat Estate Pinot is a ripper. A blend of all estate fruit, it's a great experience to line up the Central and Western Pi...

  My first look at Long Gully Estate - a small Yarra Valley winery that has had its fair share of turmoil in recent years. It's great to...

  Wow. Just wow. $45 for this is madness. Sheer delight and then some. There are Chardonnays out there $20+ more expensive but aren't in...

Andrew Thomas' overall production in 2020 was down 60% due to his meticulous fruit selection given the smoke issues that some areas of t...

  Bright red cherries and raspberry fruit, this Grenache from Ox Hardy just sizzles. 

  Ten years young and showing all the grace and splendour you'd ask for from a ten-year-old Cabernet. Just brilliant!

  Loaded with interest, this is a great fizz worth splashing in your glass.

  Hot off the press, this is my first look at a 2022 release. Andrew Thomas brought this along with many other delights for his Thomas on To...

  Releasing a Cabernet Sauvignon from the Yarra Valley fetching $800 was always going to create some controversy and split opinion. And it i...

  Quite a different Pinot to its Western sibling, this Central initially came across a little more subdued. You get the sense it keeps its ...

  Barrel fermented Semillon. Enjoy the mouth-filling pleasure on offer here. This is very good.

  From the producer of Australia's greatest Chardonnay comes a Cabernet that certainly pitches its case to be standing on the podium too...

  From a low cropping vintage, the always anticipated Curly Flat Pinots will be released in May. Pardon the bottle pic with 2019, but you ge...

  I had the opportunity last week to spend some time (virtually) with Yalumba's Louisa Rose and Jessica Hill-Smith as well as Langmeil...

  Sip slow and sip all night. Behold another brilliant Yalumba Signature release. Given the incredibly high-level consistency of the red win...

  Dark cherries dipped in chocolate. Have I got your attention? A great Margaret River Shiraz from Leeuwin Estate.

  Hello to freshness and energy. This just sizzles. Over a couple of days it found some shape and looked more refined. Oh, I like it now but...

  A bit of old-school charm, this flagship Lienert Estate Laudamus Shiraz is named after pioneering father John A Lienert 1941-2014. Meaty, ...

  Not the Tempranillo I was hoping for. A wine that asks more questions than gives answers. 

Yalumba's flagship white wine, this Virgilius Viognier sees 11 months in old French oak. Coming off vines planted in 1980, this is flirt...

  I really like the mouthfeel here. It weaves and bends around with ease. A quality Viognier from the Eden Valley.

  Long and luscious, this incredibly silky botrytis Viognier was part of a tasting in preparation for International Viognier Day coming up o...
