From the warm Riverland area this is a very tasty Monte. Fresh and spicy. Smooth tannins with a slippery mouthfeel. A great bistro wine to serve by the glass. Postscript: The ultimate Pizza Wine. — 5 years ago

A rare and unusual grape variety native to Puglia in the heel of Italy. This is fermented on skins. Very textural with a great mouth feel. Ideal for warm climates - this is from the Riverland. Drought tolerant with thick skins. — 5 years ago

This lower tier wine from Hightower stands up to time very well. Well balanced fruit and structure 8yrs in. Thanks Tim&Kelly! — 6 years ago

The most intense label I’ve seen on a wine, but unlike some pretenders, that intensity carries through everything: colour, nose and flavour concentration. Red frogs, lingonberry soda on opening, turning to a super fragrant middle eastern spice mix and lamb drippings and - this is intended as a compliment- burnt strawberries and rhubarb shrub (the vinegar cordial kind). Great structure and pitch perfect savoury finish, tightrope tannins. Was expecting frivolity, but this pipe blew me away. — 7 years ago

The fruits of the Industry Wine Swap movement.
Conrad killing it at Ochre Nation working under the laid back mentors Brendo & Laura.
A native Georgian varietal, first time tasting. The acid is cleansing and the colour is like Dye as the name suggests. — 9 years ago

The bottle describes this wine this way: “putting your feet up” And that’s exactly what it is. It strikes a brilliant balance of Welches juicy grape juice with actual thoughtful wine. Perfect for glugging and relaxing. — 5 years ago

Pours as vibrant as the label. A blend of pan-Mediterranean varieties, led by Tempranillo and Nero d’avola, that makes for a surprisingly generous, juicy expression of the whole zany zone, AND YET grown in the SA Riverlands. These bullets hit — 8 years ago

9.4

Aged sir lie for 26 months, King Estate's 2008 Limited Edition Blanc De Noirs is finely wrought, with a delicate bead that gives lift to baked apples and orchard fruit notes, followed by buckwheat, dried marjoram, and whipped butter. Nice concentration on the palate, with eccentric rings of kumquat, sea foam, and walnut skins that impart a subtle and delicate bitterness as they meander to a long, protracted close. 13.5% ABV | Sample — 9 years ago
