Lonely Grape TV Episode 105 Handmade By Geoff Hardy 2009 Lagrein

20 02 2012

Join me checking out another emerging variety – this time a Lagrein. I have tried this variety before and I am amazed at the milk chocolate character this wine seems to provide.

 

 





Lonely Grape TV Episode #104- 2010 Handcrafted By Geoff Hardy Teroldego

12 02 2012

Another new variety – Teroldego. An Italian variety that I have not tried before. It was wonderful and I hope to see more of this variety.

Dianna Genders has done it again with a McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon of substance.





Lonely Grape TV Episode 102 – 2009 Samuels Gorge Grenache

29 01 2012

Join me in sharing my favorite grape variety from one of my favorite wineries – Samuels Gorge Grenache. Part of the McLaren Vale Cadensia Project. A regional marketing of Grenache. This variety can make excellent wine but it is not really known by the every day consumer.





Lonely Grape TV Episode #101 – Pertaringa Aglianico

23 01 2012

A treat for me and I hope a treat for you. The grape variety Aglianico from Southern Italy is a varietal I have never tried before. I was certainly impressed – enough to want to try more from this variety.





Lonely Grape TV Episode # 99 – Braydun Hill 2008 Shimply Shiraz

31 12 2011

From the Braydun Hill stable, this Shimply Shiraz is a pleasant surprise and I can see why it is a recent award winner.





Lonely Grape TV Episode # 98 Pikkara 2010 Shiraz

10 12 2011

A newly bottled 2010 Shiraz from a really small McLaren Vale producer – Pikkara. This will be one to watch. All the usual character of McLaren Vale Shiraz.





Lonely Grape TV Episode #97 Inkwell 2010 Primotivo

3 12 2011

Join me while I taste one of the few Zinfandel’s I have tried.  I would have to say that this one is my favorite.

 





Lonely Grape TV Episode #96 Leibich Vintage Fortified

27 11 2011

Vintage Fortified style seems to be a dying expression of the fermented grape.  It is a pity as this style can be excellent.  I do like this version – check out my comments.





Lonely Grape TV Episode #95 – Grancari Estate 2008 Shiraz

19 11 2011

A Shiraz from one of the few fully certified organic vineyard and winery combinations in McLaren Vale.  2008 was a hot vintage that caused many issues with the resultant wine, however this wine seems to have been spared.
