See this live on youtube (and subscribe!): youtube.com/watch?v=PVRq03rVpjQ or read text version here 🙂 The Barossa Valley is Australia’s most famous wine region and Shiraz its signature wine. In the right hands, the Barossa really can produce a style of Shiraz that can’t be found anywhere else – big, bold, juicy, and kissed with that familiar […]
Blowfly must be Australia’s coolest & most characterful winery. The more we get to know this place, the more we absolutely love it – a wine geek’s dream made true. If you haven’t connected with Blowfly yet, you’re past due (we have no affiliation; they’re just that good). Call them up and explain what you […]

[See these reviews live and in person here: youtube.com/watch?v=Af_CquhDT9U&feature=youtu.be ]The Yarra Valley may be Victoria’s most famous cool climate wine region. A true “cool climate” region in a very Australian sense, people generally expect to find good Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in the Yarra, and surely these two varieties abound. But as with almost any wine region, […]
(To see this tasting & review live, check out our YouTube Channel here: youtube.com/watch?v=mo8JQRyZ0hc) A remarkable wine and a pinnacle achievement for Seville Hill. Although it first appears a little lighter than a typical Seville wine, that little bit of restraint really allows the wine’s playful flavour notes like raspberry, vanilla, mocha & more to […]
International Riesling Day! We must confess! It is true. Australian Riesling is not usually our favourite wine. Don’t get me wrong, we really do love a great Riesling (most commonly seen from the likes of Jim Barry Wines, Rieslingfreak, Penna Lane Wines, Craigow Vineyard, etc), but way too often in Australia, this noble varietal is cooked up like some […]
[Too not miss any of our wine adventures, like us at facebook.com/winehuntersaus ] Mocha & fine-grained leather on the nose. Stout and sturdy, this is such a bewitching Cab Sav with bursts of juicy fruit punching through an enchanting swirl of fine tannins.

The region is best known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, but because of its moderate climate, it can also produce magic with Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, and several other varieties. It’s a real all-rounder, like a slightly cooler version of Rutherglen. And while […]
A soul-warming cool climate Shiraz. Broad and firm tannins. Perfect oak structure. A thick stew of deep but bright fruit flavours. An exceptional example of the wonders Tasmania (and the Coal River region particularly) can achieve with this varietal. Simultaneously vibrant and brooding raspberry against a noble oak frame? Yes, please! Hats off to Frogmore […]
