Mount Majura are one of the stars of Canberra District’s excellent coterie of high flying wine stars, albeit most go about it under the radar without pomp and ceremony. I like that. More room for people like me in the limelight. Kidding. Sort of.

It’s one small step for nature, one giant leap for wine technology, getting organic wine to the mass-market.

From Orange wine region where chardonnay is a bit of a hero variety at times. But then again, lots of varieties aspire to that title there.

Usually feel a bit itchy when a Barossa or McLaren Vale stalwart has a crack at chardonnay…

Killerby ebb and flow out of my life. I used to sell a few at Best Cellars back in the day.

Simple, organic wines from big companies are increasingly a thing. Good value and organic can go hand-in-hand.

Character filled wines from a younger generation producer, mostly based out of Mount Gambier. Wide-eyed, passionate, good as a human, Kyatt Dixon (winemaker) has some great releases under his belt – he’s from the nouveau, avant garde, natural wine set too.

Moorilla wines have so much potential, and a good winemaker in Conor complicated-Canadian-but-Dutch-sounding-last-name. I am always eager to see what’s been going on at such a prominent estate. Hello.

When I think of Ten Mins x Tractor I think of money. Not sure why. Then again, that’s most of Mornington Peninsula. It kind of skips the whole agrarian thing and just mainlines prestige. Might just be me. Anyway, it doesn’t mean the wines suffer.

New wines emerging from under the Topper’s Mountain range, this is a pinotage rose, perhaps one of the best uses of the variety from anywhere outside of South Africa.

A much better wine than the Hoddles Creek from the same vintage.

It’s a producer that stays true to its ideal of wine style, and you have to admire that.

I’ve not yet quite formed an opinion on 2018 Clare Valley Riesling; I suspect it’s one of those vintages that isn’t uniform in character and quality.

Is Grand Cru Chablis better than Premier Cru? Sometimes. Depends on the year. I worry about all white Burgundy and Chablis sealed with a cork, however, it rarely comes any other way. Importer: Ethereal & Piedmont Fine Wines.
