If you want a change from Sauvignon Blanc, then Australian Pinot Grigios are an excellent alternative. They are crisp, yet finely textured and often have more restrained fruit than the more flamboyant SB. This latest Pinot Grigio from Kirrihill is no exception to this rule of thumb. Kirrihill have looked to Birdwood in the Adelaide Hills [...] A crisp and tightly held Pinot Grigio made in the Italian style. The Lenswood & Piccadilly fruit is delicate & mineral led thanks to a cool ripening vintage. Some lees & barrel work has added some palate weight and softened the acid but the fruit is fresh and crisp with plenty of nutty, pear, green [...] When you are visiting the Adelaide Hills region, make sure that you drop in to see James Tilbrook at his cellar door in Lobethal. He is passionate about his wine and when you start tasting you too will be very happy that you dropped in.

The vineyard was planted after being ravaged by the Ash Wednesday bushfires and Kathy and Paul Drogemuller have a determined hands-on approach to create individual wines that truly qualify as ‘little gems’. This is a Savvy that is for all of you 1 [...] This is a wine that brings to mind Roast Beef & Yorkshire Puds. Being a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Merlot (14%), Cabernet Franc (12%), Malbec (5%) & Shiraz (5%) nothing about this wine is straight forward except that it is rather tasty and that immediately you taste it you think of food. Even the Cabernet [...] Shaw & Smith – Balhannah Adelaide Hills is certainly a wine region that catches you by surprise. Before I took a day out to luxuriate in its rolling hills, I would not have believed just how quick it was to get there from the centre of Adelaide. A zippy 30 minutes in my less than [...] This is a Chardonnay from the cool Adelaide Hills to revive your interest in this still popular, but now more hardworking, varietal. The M3 is not hardwork to drink at all, but is however hand crafted and skilfully at that. The grapes that survived a pre-harvest culling … oops, thinning, were hand picked and whole [...] |
