Huge fan of CSH! A must visit if you are heading to the Yarra. Their sparkling is one of my favourite Sparklings in the world. Nose - Honeycomb, lime, and toasted bread. Almost smells like an aged sweet sparkling. A touch of honey dew or some melon in there at the end. Very nice and … Continue reading Coldstream Hills The Hills Chardonnay 2019 →

I am going full swing with Primitivo these last few months. its getting colder and I couldn’t think of a better red to have. Its smokey, full of dark plums and Christmas spice. Its winter in a glass Nose - Blood orange and a bit of alcohol heat. Smoked bacon, chocolate, cloves and some tobacco … Continue reading Masso Antico Primitivo 2019 →

Nose - Coffee, plums, chocolate, blueberry pie and fresh smashed raspberries. Oh it smells so inviting. Taste - This is what wine is about. Enjoying what you enjoy. This is glorious for me. Not going to get 95 points but I’d probably enjoy it more than a 95 point wine. Its rich, lush, just dry … Continue reading Luccarelli Primitivo 2018 →

To be honest I know nothing about the producer. Bought it because it has those magical words Polish Hill. The best spot in Australia for Riesling. A lot of pressure on its shoulders Nose - Rather large on the nose, lime, talc, some slight petrol notes already. Taste - Lime, lavender, some powdery tannins and … Continue reading O’Leary Walker Riesling Polish Hill 2019 →

Nose - Dark grape flavours, chocolate and that fake candied purple grape flavour. It smells lush and fresh. Taste - Its dark and has a long dry but rich on chocolate and dark berries finish. The finish lasts for a long time and makes you sit back and enjoy it. Classic Aussie Barossa and one … Continue reading Kalleske Greenock Shiraz 2015 →

Nose - Cherries, and dark bitter chocolate. Dried red fruits and some mushroom notes. Taste - Its rather smooth and enjoyable. Dark cherries with a bit of spice from that dark chocolate notes. Its dry but not too dry and has a rather long finish. Food friendly and would be great with pasta, pizza and … Continue reading Castellare di Castellina Chianti Classico 2018 →

Nose - Buckets of toasted bread and a touch of lemon. Taste - Loads of lemon, almonds, toasted brioche and a sprinkling of lime and vanilla maybe? Overall. Really enjoyed it this wine. And of you have not heard of this get it. Its the beat champagne you have never heard of.

Nose - Red apples to start, mineral sea air and some green apples to finish off. Taste - Light aperitif style, mineral fresh start followed by that green apple. Its on ok Champagne but it is missing that wow factor.

Went to Mudgee a few months ago and had an epic time there. Was very impressed by the wines and experiences (better than the Hunter). This wine is a blend, a blend on nearly all possible reds found in Mudgee, Shiraz, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Barbera, Pinot Noir and Tempranillo Nose - Dark fruits with a … Continue reading Gilbert Wines Rouge 2018 →

Nose - Fairly mute nose, a touch of line and slate stone. Taste - Ohh this is pleasant. Its a wine you drink and can easily enjoy in the sun. Would go terrifically with seafood. Its light, fresh, lemony, and has a slight fresh sea air taste to it. A great wine for a your … Continue reading Vigneti del Sole Soave 2019 →
