Wasn’t overly keen to review this Redoubt Hill pinot gris but once I got it into my mouth, it quickly won me over. It’s being distributed in Australia by Eurocentric Wine. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
The 2007 vintage was an impressive debut. This vintage, I think, is a little better again. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
Mudgee has had a bit of a torrid time over the Noughties what with one thing and another, but I really like their reds. I’ve not visited the region since, hmmmm, maybe around 2000 or thereabouts. It’s a beautiful part of the world. The grapes used to produce this wine were planted in 1976, from [...]
It’s a blend of 55 percent cabernet with 45 percent merlot. It’s an attractive mix of fleshy flavour and sturdy structure … and it screams Margaret River. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
I’m told that this Provenance Pinot Noir has scored highly elsewhere though its quality is pretty obvious. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
The 2007 Angove Organic Shiraz Cabernet was a very nice release and a breakthrough for affordable, organically grown red wine in Australia. I have a feeling that Angove is taking this market segment very seriously because this release over-delivers on the price too. In fact it’s delicious drinking. The alcohol is modest too - one [...]
I’m not entirely sure what makes it a Village wine i.e. whether it’s young vines or lesser barrels or what not. Anyway, young man, there’s no need to feel down…I said young man.. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
It’s made from a blend of 35 percent pinot noir, 40 percent pinot meunier and 25 percent chardonnay. It’s a Perrier-Jouët so it’s beautifuly packaged. It has an exceptional ‘lightness’ in the mouth … fluffiness might be the technical term … but aside from that, I’m not a great rave for it. I notice that Mr [...]
I wonder why they give places names like “Pegasus Bay”? It’s not likely that you’d be seeing them frolicking and gambolling about on a sandy stretch, just next to the unicorns… You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
I’m sure a lot of Australian wine makers would like to say of Kiwi SB - “You are soul”. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
The thing I like about these Yalumba Single Site wines is their restraint. They’re not in any way over the top. You need a subscription to The Wine Front to see this part of the post
Gembrook Hill wines are made by Timo Mayer and Andrew Marks. It could well be the best winemaking duo in the country - though admittedly they have some stiff competition. That a tiny estate like Gembrook Hill has such winemaking nouse at their disposal though is quite remarkable. I’ll be writing an article on Gembrook [...]
This is another partnership between Nicholas Crampton (Foster’s will rue the day it set him free) and a Frenchman - this time, with Bernard Schurr. The idea is “to make a good value Burgundy with professional winemaking”. The grapes are grown in Marsannay and the Cotes de Nuits. It was matured in oak for eight [...]
Made from grapes grown in two vineyards - Domaine du Treille and de Martinolles - in the Aude Valley. The folks behind this wine like to think of it as the best French pinot noir made outside of Burgundy. It’s made in a fresh, low oak style. It’s made by winemaker Vinson Charlon. Again - if [...]
