RS 8 Strathbogie Ranges Riesling 2018

Definitely a unique style of Riesling on display here. Bold and confident with beautiful, exotic fruit on the nose. The fuller bodied palate perfectly balances a dash of sweetness with zingy acidity and tasteful oak. Impressive at $35.

More info: Small plot two hours north of Melbourne in the town of Caveat. The vineyard is a pure granite shelf at 2000 feet elevation. (Obviously) 8 g/l RS with 8.9 g/l TA. Unfined. Matured in oak on the lees. 3360 bottles.

Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2015

2nd go round on this guy. A light garnet in color. Very subtle nose. A lighter style Pinot that was very complimentary to our salmon. More of a delightful experience the second time around. — 6 years ago

Hugh Gruyere Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2010

Limited notes from my 70th birthday. From magnum. A classic Yarra Valley Cabernet Blend which is early in its drinking window. Medium bodied with red stalky tomato leaf savoury fruits. — 2 years ago

EB 10 Ginger Rizz Riesling 2014

Delectable told me I drank this exact wine 4 years straight after it had been bottled.
4 years later and my love was rekindled.
Such a rad and fun Riesling, tickles the senses.

Woori Yallock Chardonnay 2016

Wonderful wonderful expression of Chardonnay from Mac Forbes clearly on a great site and judicious winemaking. Wish I’d decanted for longer as the flavours just kept developing... — 4 years ago
