Canberra District, Southern New South Wales

Lark Hill

Biodynamic Wine Shiraz Viognier

Typical Shiraz/Viognier Blend of the Canberra District without the oomph of the benchmark Clonakilla. Strong white pepper and brambley notes. Pepper and Spice on the medium weight palate. Good drinking and may be peak drinking at 5 years of age. Like this style a lot. — 7 years ago

Cc2 Hilltops Shiraz 2014

Veeerry friendly Shiraz at this price. Cherry up front, red apple tobacco, good structure and a frenchman's even hand taming those tannins. — 8 years ago

Clonakilla

Ceoltoiri Grenache Blend 2011

With its heavyweight tannins and white pepper punch, this is more Gigondas than CNdP. Surprisingly bright fruit despite the vintage. Needs air now and a couple more years might see it improve. A nice drop. — 10 years ago

Classic Dry Riesling 2015

Plenty of flinty minerality and acid, maybe lacking a smidge of fruit flavour? — 8 years ago

Eden Road

The Long Road Shiraz 2010

Won the Trophy for Best Shiraz at the National Wine Show 2012. Fruit from the Gundagai region and starting to put this region on the map. Peppery red fruits and starting to develop some leather notes at 7 years. A nice counterpoint to the lush Barossa styles showing the versatility of Shiraz. — 8 years ago

Ripe pear and delicate floral/musk aromas. The palate has pear and white peach fruits ripened to perfection with perfect acidity, tightly wound, ensuring a long cellaring life.

Pinot Gris 2017

Well this really is an unusual beast. Much darker in colour than expected, very much looking like a rosé. Completely dry and savoury. Structural. Needs food, but I'm not quite sure what. Very interesting and well made, but perhaps not one I'd choose again. Edit: Revisiting on the second day and liking it a lot more. Reminds me more of a dry cocktail than a wine. Great aperitif. — 7 years ago

Marked Tree Red Shiraz 2009

Heard great things about this value shiraz and didnt dissapoint. It is really quality shiraz and it is like baby canokilla. Good fragrant with dark berry and subtle minerality. The tannin is fine and quite a complex wine. Real good value for money — 8 years ago

Mr. V Biodynamic Wine Marsanne Blend

Definitely not a wine one has every day. A southern Rhone blend not dissimilar to the now defunct Giaconda Aeolia. Aromatic peachy notes with a full unctuous full bodied palate with some residual sweetness. A blend of Marsanne Rousanne and Viognier. Very much a head turner and a WOW wine for me but might be too much for some. 18. This is the 2013 vintage. — 10 years ago
