The elegance of this wine is enhanced further with the Viognier, wrapping warm spice & pepper notes around a soft berry fruit & floral core. The intensity is generous while the body is not overpowering & will not leave you with a feeling of regret if relish in the luxury of more than one glass. An ideal dinner partner for wild boar sausage & indulgently truffled mash. Date: July 2011 Price: $37 Value: $$$ Drink: Now – 5+ yrs www.grantburge.com.au

Rose: Skuttlebutt Shiraz Merlot Sangiovese 11 $18 Red: St Hallett Faith Shiraz 09 $25 Have a great weekend!
This is a wine that is made to share whatever the occasion. It is robust and juicy enough to match a Sunday roast rubbed with a warm spice seasoning yet is one of those wines that needs no accompaniment. While you could keep it for a few years in the cellar, I would drink it fresh and youthful. Date: May 2011 Price: $24 Value: $$$ Drink: Now – 5 yrs
Rosé: Sam Miranda Rosata 10 $20 Red: Pizzini Il Barone 04 $48+ Have a great weekend!
The nose that is reminiscent of summer roses with that distinct grapey-ness that we love in Moscato style wines & some delightful ripe strawberry. It is lush, well balanced & with a low enough alcohol that you do not have to just stop at one! Date: 22nd May 2011 Price: $17 Value: $$$ Drink: Now
This is a riper style leaving you to enjoy the full intensity of the candied pineapple with hints of spice & lychee. Refreshing with a long silky length. A gorgeously mouth filling wine with plenty of food friendly qualities. Date: 18th May 2011 Price: $29 Value: $$ Drink: Now
White: Domaine Tselepos 09 Moschofilero $30 Red: Lambloch Shiraz Rose 11 $20 Treat of the Week for celebrating victory: Croser 2000 Late Disgorged vintage Sparkling $56 Have a great weekend! This Tokay (soon to be labelled Topaque) smells & tastes like almond treacle tart served with smashed toffee & caramel coated raisins. Even just a sip luxuriously sits longingly in your mouth. This is a perfect topping for vanilla ice-cream or to accompany any rich warming pudding – your choice! Date: June 2011 Price: $17 Value: $$ Drink: Now – 5 yrs For a more detailed review of this wine see Wine Muse Another crowd pleaser from the Taylor Family & apparently you all think so too. So perhaps it is no surprise that this is a medium bodied Merlot with a generous soul. There is plenty of fresh plum spice fun to be had here. Date: 15th October 2011 Price: $10 – 14 Value: $$$ Drink: Now |
