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.
From the Braydun Hill stable, this Shimply Shiraz is a pleasant surprise and I can see why it is a recent award winner.
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.
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.
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.
A wine style that seems to be an emotional roller coaster – Rose. Like it or love it this style seems to get people talking about the style and having an opinion about it. This style is quite dry and suits me. What do you think?
I say hello to a friend – Sabella Vineyards. This time a crisp Pinot Grigio. Full of green apples and Nashi pears.
My first 2011 wine from McLaren Vale and I am so glad it was this one. The red fruits of Grenache just engulf you in the wine made for pure enjoyment. I enjoyed it (if you had not noticed) and I hope you check it out as well.
Massey Vineyards – a McLaren Vale wine producer I do not know anything about. After tasting this I will have to change that. I thoroughly enjoyed this 2005 Shiraz. Join me while I check it out!
