Arras Grand Vintage Tasmania 2015 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “All the magnitude and enticing complexity of the Arras universe are captured here, led confidently by the white stone fruits, citrus and butter of Chardonnay. Seven years on lees have blessed it with beautifully silky texture, white almond complexity and layers of spice, almost fruit mince spice. It holds outstanding line and length. Another benchmark vintage for Arras.” $94. @houseofarras #Tasmania #bubbles 🥂
Brand & Sons Sanctuary Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Dark fruited, some Xmas cake elements, cassis, pretty spice notes, some faint mintiness. Lush in texture, quite woody-spicy with lots of dark and blue fruit flavours with some cola, sweet liquorice, spice and herbs. Good texture here, slinky and shaped with lithe tannins. A regal beast, if that’s a thing.” $150. @brandandsons_wines #Coonawarra #Cabernet #regal #beast #wine 🍷
Australian Grape & Wine pleads for $86 million in the Federal Budget for assistance for winemakers and grapegrowers and gets absolutely nothing. AGW comments on the site. #FederalBudget #Budget #wine #zero #zerowine
Devil’s Corner Tasmania Resolution Chardonnay 2022 scores 93 points from Tyson Stelzer. “A cleverly engineered blend of the Tamar and East Coast delivers a coiled and focused Chardonnay. Texture is built in French oak and concrete egg fermenters, delivering a long finish and fine mouthfeel.” $40. @devilscornerwine #Tasmania #Resolution #Chardonnay #wine #drinks
Patrick of Coonawarra is now offering edible insects paired with wine for $25 a pop. ‘Crickets and Cabernet’ is all part of highlighting the importance of sustainable agriculture practices.
