Kangaroo Island, Fleurieu

Wolf Blass

Grey Label McLaren Vale Shiraz 2018

Fruit forward, big cassis notes. Not the longest finish but this is definitely a good value quaffer. Having it chilled after a long exhausting day on Fraser Island adds to the allure. 🇦🇺 — 4 months ago

Limited Release Mary's Blush Rosé Blend

Decadent Father’s Day lunch very suitably accompanied by this super fresh crisp Rosé. Summer fruits abound (raspberries, dragon fruit) with a nose that is like a field full of fresh flowers after rain!
Delightful and decadent undersells this!

Excellent wine. We don't get this is Canada. Great pairing with Kangaroo! (We don't get Kangaroo either!) — 7 years ago

Majestic Plough Malbec 2012

See several previous notes. My last of these Cuvées from Kangaroo Island South Australia and owned by the French Lurton family of Cheval Blanc fame. Savoury plum with earthy overtones. With air the aromas were almost intoxicating. Quite bold and full bodied on the palate - oak has integrated. Rich and spicy yet cleansing and moreish. Touch of camphor finishing with fine sandy tannins. — 2 years ago

Dudley Bubbly Limited Release Kangaroo Island Chardonnay Sauvignon Blanc

Superb … actually bloody superb. Hint of sweetness, bit of smokiness and smooth, so smooth!! Pear, apples and a hint of summer grasses.
This is a warm spring day in a glass

Mary's Blush Sparkling Pinot Gris Rosé

This is lovely. Light across the front palate then strawberries and raspberries that veritably tickle the back palate with a beautiful dry finish — 4 years ago

The Investigator Kangaroo Island Cabernet Franc 2008

See previous notes. My last bottle - purchased at the winery on Kangaroo Island. 100% Cabernet Franc. Herbs , Tea leaves, Charcoal, Black, fruits, a touch of caramel oak. Quite a full bodied opulent wine showing those black fruits. A product of the warm 2008 vintage in South Australia. A classy wine balancing the ripe fruit with the right amount of oak treatment. Very polished as you would expect from a $150 wine. Shows Jaques Lurton’s (Cheval Blanc) experience with the Cabernet Franc grape. — 2 years ago

The Invictus Shiraz 2018

Never had a Kangaroo Island wine but I was impressed. Earthy volcanic tones like some Malbecs. Good mouth feel with no harshness. Would buy again. — 3 years ago

McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

I am not the biggest fan of Aussie wines, perhaps because of Mel Gibson or Crocodile Dundee. Nevertheless, it’s a g’day mate if you imbibe this Cab. It’s is confounding how classic the flavor profile is, yet that ubiquitous Aussie dimension is still present. Pretend you are living an island of incarcerated criminals, but at least you have wine. — 5 years ago
