Capel Vale Regional Cabernet Sauvignon
A cool moderate summer with consistent flavour development . The season produced rich flavours and ripe tannins. Distinctive Margaret River regional Cabernet Sauvignon aromas, with rich dark fruit flavours. Soft fruit tannins on the finish. Beef casserole or dukkah crusted lamb cutlets. A delicious wine to drink young for its primary fruit charcaters. The wine will gain complexity and smoothness with cellaring 5 to 8 years.
Storm Bay Sauvignon Blanc
Beyond the Wilderness Pinot Gris
The nose is full of pear, quince, and Golden Delicious apple. The palate is delicately round, and generous orchard fruit is balanced by delicate citrus and herbal notes. The finish is pure with a lingering note of preserved lemon. A great choice for those outdoor parties in the warmer months, this wine will not disappoint.Beyond the Wilderness, at the extremities of the earth, deep in the Southern Ocean lies a pristine land. Cooled by prevailing westerlies, whipped up by the Roaring Forties, this is Tasmania. Only 1% of this remarkable land is planted to vines which are producing some of the world’s most exciting new wines.
Riversdale Estate Pisces Chardonnay
Ah, Tasmanian Chardonnay, never leave me. There's a creaminess here, a generosity that entices you to drink more. Peach yoghurt, almond croissant and custard apple do their rounds on the palate before the texture and minerals start coming through, bringing with them some zestier flavours - lemon drop and green apple. This could go either way and, while it is drinking very happily now, I'd be equally interested to see what a few years might bring. Drink: 2022-2025. Price: $35. Rating: 90/100.

Lost Farm Tasmania Chardonnay
Richard Angove was very lucky to have grown up in a winemaking family. Since 1886, five generations of his family have worked in winemaking and grape growing. In 2008 he worked harvest in the beautiful Tamar Valley in northern Tasmania. He just loved the landscape, vineyards and flavours of the wines. Many years later when the opportunity arose to work with a number of small growers to create a range of small batch wines, he could not resist the opportunity, and so Lost Farm Wines was born.
