Leabrook Estate, based in Lenswood in Adelaide Hills, is a winery on my bucket list. I might even create a special wine trail for Cabernet Franc because as a varietal it seems to sing in the Adelaide Hills – fragrant & sweetly ripe. Rich with sweet black fruit, cedar, tobacco & spice. Elegantly bodied with a supple length, this is a wine that will accompany that roast rack of lamb that you are planning or perhaps a venison pie. Leabrook have moved to the 2007 vintage now but there may be some 2006 still around the traps. Date: October 2011 Price: $ 28 Value: $$ Drink: Now – 5+ years 
Australia’s love affair with this sometimes suave, sometimes swarthy Italian grape is really only in the loved up stage. Sangiovese from the McLaren Vale tends to be of the more swarthy style taking on some aspects of Sicilian life rather than from Tuscany (or perhaps showing more in line with the Medici’s). [...]

In 2010, their 2005 Aged Release Riesling won Best Riesling in the World at the Canberra International Riesling Challenge. However, it is also the source of reds that [...] 
Cumulus is fast becoming one of the icons of the Orange region. Their ‘Rolling’ wines come from the Central ranges region whereas their sibling brand ‘Climbing’ qualify as wines from the Orange GI, apparently the same vineyard but different altitudes make this quirk possible. There is also a Chardonnay & Shiraz under the [...]

I am looking forward to seeing the wide variety of wines that will come into the limelight this week. There will be wines that have receded into the deep yonder, there will be some of the worlds greats [...] 
Muscat grapes quietly raisining in the dark. Muscat has a rather unique & completely luscious history in Australia, it reaches its pinnacle in the region of Rutherglen in Northern Victoria. In these wines Brown Muscat or Muscat Rouge à Petits Grains, a variant of the more Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains, really comes into [...] 
Vermentino is going to be the hot varietal to be in your glass this Summer. A Mediterranean grape from Sardinia, its close French neighbour Corsica and other regions in Italy that has found a welcome home here. The Running with Bulls label is one from the Yalumba stable or should I say stud. It [...]
