This place has to be seen to be believed!! It is a slice of Tuscany in #huntervalleywinecountry

Magnificent @sweetwaterestatewines is a family owned vineyard with vines first planted here in the 1800s.

Their wines are sold exclusively via @hungerfordhill and today's group are enjoying a private members function on the beautifully manicured grounds

Currently in Queensland staying with my mum so tonight we are cracking a bottle of wine as she has been bugging me to crack a bottle of red and as I am cooking her my special roasted pork belly cooked in white wine, I’m pairing it with this fantastic bottle of Dr Edge 2016 South Tasmania Pinot Noir with compliments from dear Brett @aussie.wine.tasting who only drank the good stuff and I have been hanging out to try this one. 😍❤️🍷 I even bought myself some half decent glasses today to leave here for when I visit and the picture on the back of the bottle is how I feel today drinking such an outstanding bottle of wine. I couldn’t get my usual Viognier today (actually the girl at the bottle shop didn’t even know what Viognier was 😳🤜) so I settled on Grant Burge Chardonnay to cook the pork in. My first job at Grant Burge was picking Chardonnay and I hope the flavours work well. Cheers & Happy Sunday! 😊❤️🍷 #barossagirl #tasmania #tasmanianpinotnoir #dredgepinotnoir #barossalife #barossaliving #barossalifestyle #mybarossa #mybarossalife #wineworld #pinotnoir

2019 BINDI KAYE PINOT NOIR
@bindiwines

Deep red with a misty pink/purple hue and a deeply complex, Earthy and beautifully aromatic nose that transports you. The pretty perfume of Middle Eastern florals, dried rose, orange blossom water, violets, citrus pith and earthy sumac colour deep raspberry, savoury beetroot, sweet parsnip, Davidson plum, dark cherry and exotic spice. A gentle char sits in the background.

In the mouth it’s elegant, ghostly and fine with ripe, sweet yet savoury-edged flavours of red fruits, pristine cherry, blackberry, red licorice, dried black olive, beetroot, Chantilly and moments of pomegranate. There is a clarity of fruit that reveals so much. Lovely oak spice adds depth, texture and complexity while mineral notes and fine feathery tannins caress the tongue, fanning out imparting a gentle grip of tension. A seamless current of acidity moves with momentum and length, all the while balancing in a beautiful way. The tail reaches with symmetry and still has some way to go, but already it's longer than most and showing great promise for the future. An exceptional Bindi Pinot ❤❤❤

After the wine is done, do you have a late night treat? Is it Port? I’ve recently started exploring them more and more. I stumbled across this little gem from @littlegiantwines and is an absolute treat to end the night with! Do you have a favourite to recommend? Let me know which ones to try 👌

When it comes to wine, I am not usually patient, but in this case I
waited a couple of years to open, and then a couple of hours decanting......and what a treat.
Full bodied, dark berries, smooth finish....oohhh yeah!
The winemakers reserve uses fruit from selected vineyards in McLaren Vale and only the best barrels from the vintage, in this case 2015.

My second time delving into the elixirs of Australia’s smallest winery. Despite the size of production, Tim’s wines are remarkable. His GSM is no expectation to the dedication that is poured into each bottle.
•
Aromas flooding out. Highlighting ripe strawberries, cherries, and roses. With hints of earthy chocolate. Tipping the scales at 15%. Although, despite this the palate highlighting great flavours and charm. Plush red fruits are complemented by a lick of dark spicy characteristics. All supported nicely by a mid-palate of Shiraz fineness.
•
As far as GSM’s go this has certainly got a big ✅ of approval from me!

@marganwine Breaking Ground Albarino 2017

From the back label:
“Being the first Albarino from the Hunter it is hard to know how long this wine may cellar but its balance and structure suggests it will cellar well for many years.”

I can confirm that it will cellar very well indeed! Ample complexity yet still fresh, drinking beautifully today.

Mount Stapylton 2019 Reserve Shiraz.
•
I think we are getting the smallest sliver of cooler nights coming through. Me, taking full advantage. Time to open the big-hitting reds. Ammo of choice, Mount Stapylton 2019 Reserve Shiraz. Showcasing great structure and length this is.
•
Heavily aromatic. Room filling even. deep black fruit, generous baking spices. A great earthiness driving through. Great attention to detail on the palate. Red fruits, overripe currants and black plums show consistency. Although, a warming cinnamon and spice shine on through.
•
A serious contender when drunk now, although will age gracefully over the years.

Happy drinking 🍷🍇😊

2017 FLOWSTONE QUEEN OF THE EARTH CABERNET SAUVIGNON
@flowstone_wines

Deep and dark cherry red with a purple core and an intriguing, finely layered and calmly poised nose that does not shout, nor needs to. It’s spicy, gently savoury and perfumed with violets, brambly blackberry, raspberry, cassis, dried roasted chilli, lightly roasted coffee beans, clove, blackberry bud, cedar and dried bayleaf. There’s a fair bit of new oak too, but it has been matched beautifully and adds a lovely complexity to the fruit.

In the mouth it’s generous, harmonious and just as fine and calm as the nose. It expresses itself completely and without force, tasting of blackcurrant gums, dark cherry, blackberry, deep raspberry, blueberry and hints of licorice that are coloured with sweet and savoury oak spice. A wide current of beautifully matched acidity carries the fruit with ease, while fleshy and gently sappy tannins fan across the tongue and impart a grip of fine texture and tension. Elegance. The tail holds for minutes, a decrescendo echoing its beginnings and ends on a pleasurable hum of deep red and dark berries.

Yep, delicious!!!! 👏👏👏

🍽 EMERGE 🍽

After our visits to the wineries at the Bellerine Peninsula, we headed over to Geelong, we’re here for the Geelong arrival Motoring festival and by coincidence the Foo Fighters we’re playing on the same evening. Unfortunately we couldn’t get any tickets for the show 😐

For our first evening at Geelong we had dinner at EMERGE a steak house!

🥩 We shared the Grass fed Cape Grim Tasmanian eye fillet and the scotch fillet

🍷Over a bottle of the local Pinot Noir.
Oakdene- Bellerine Peninsula Geelong Pinot Noir 2020.

⭐️ The food and service was exceptionally good but next time we are in town again , we will definitely try the full blood wagyu- Mayura Stition Linestone , SA Porterhouse, Marble score 9+ 250gm.
Just reading it on the menu sounds yum 😋

Been way too long since I've dived into a bottle of Nebbiolo. Susuro Wines changed that for me nicely. Their 2019 Nebbiolo goes above and beyond on how a Neb should be performing.
•
Showing vibrancy and elegance on the nose. All strawberries, cherries, some woodiness even. Simply paving the way for a defined palate of savoury spice, earthiness, and fresh red berries. Tight-knit tannins and a harmonious, memorable finish. This is the good stuff.

A few weeks ago we received these samples from @beresfordestate Thanks guys!!😊 And the first one we tried was the Estate 2018 McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon. Straight up - this is an absolute baby but with SO much potential! Initially a fruit bomb, although after a good decant, deep dark ripe forest fruits, vanilla oak and silky cassis rise from the glass. There’s depth, balance and finesse here; drinking lovely now but certainly has a good journey ahead. We recommend hiding it away and reaping the rewards in years to come!

Next the 2019 McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon showed blackcurrant, bramble and slight oak aromas. Juicy, fleshy & medium bodied; the palate’s loaded with dark fruit, a sprinkle of spice and touch of vanilla👌

Perfect way to ring in the weekend! Happy Friday friends🍷😄🍷

Day 2 Grapemates McLaren Vale tour

Nothing like a back of the Ute tasting in the vineyard thanks to Rob @aphelionwine. Unfortunately the weather had other ideas... A quick relocation then a cruise through McLaren Vale grenache in all its guises. The wines are elegant, fine boned with structure & agability.
