Indigo
Alpine Valleys Chardonnay 2016
There are expensive chardys coming from Beechworth, but not all of them
The quality of the fruit is superb, well over the average of the country
Stylistically they use oak, but thanks to the flesh of the wines it is less prominent than what the classic oaked chardys were
In this case we have a little extraction of colour from the skins.
I like it, it has got a wonderful feel in my mouth
Beechworth is not only Giaconda. That's a good news☺️☺️ — 9 years ago

The Squid Saperavi 2015
Can't say I've had a lot of examples of saperavis (one of the few grapes with colored juice),but this was interesting. Reminded me a lot of the North American Norton varietal, this wine was a bit one-dimensional but had a lot of fruit coupled with an earthy, almost musky undertone. Was significantly better when chilled down a few degrees (say, at cellar temp - this had been on the shelf), as well as when paired with food. — 9 years ago

Alpine Valleys Gewürztraminer 2014
Great work Jo Marsh. Restrained GT with plenty of spice and punch, great balance with out excessive cloying musk and musty notes. Neat match at home with san choi bao. Bottles are scarce. Catch it if you can. — 11 years ago

Candied liquorice, red fruit and floral aromas, followed by a firm but round palate bringing that red fruit with a bit of tarriness. The tannins and acid are there, but sitting back a touch - this is more about fruit first. An easy going, approachable style that slips down easily, even more so with some hearty food. — 8 years ago
