Yeah, I'm not that clear on things yet. But Jim Brayne is a first class wine maker and wouldn't buy rubbish so I have confidence in it.

I had a taste of it too; was very pleased by the result. It, the Canberra Shiraz and the Hilltops Cab Sauv were all very good.

Didn't bother with the whites :lol:

What were the whites out of interest?

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'll guess Hilltops Chard and Canberra SBS

 

[Bazal]

Canberra would have to be riesling surely? lol

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

Should be, yes. This is McWilliams though...

 

[Drew-Sta]

2009 was a classic vintage, 2013 could be even better.

That's good to hear, actually.

What were the whites out of interest?

Tumba Chardy, Tumba Pinot Noir Chardy NV, Orange Sauv Blanc.

 

[Bazal]

Tumbarumba is the best region in the country for chardy IMO

Ouch! :lol:

On a positive note, have a read: http://www.winefront.com.au/on-returning-to-mount-pleasant/#.UwLFMfmSwZ5

Just being a bitch.

 

[Drew-Sta]

The B-Side stuff about to come out from us is top shelf too. Pinot Noir or Shiraz, IIRC.

BIG call there.

I know, you do it so well ;-)

I actually like Marg Riv chardy, but have to admit the Tumba is quite brilliant.

 

[Bazal]

BIG call there.

I'm willing to stick by it. It's starting to really grow as a region too.

 

[Scott Gourley's Lovechild]

I'm a Tassie man when it comes to chardy.

 

[Bazal]

Tassie is great too, but I rate Tumbarumba better personally.

 

[Drew-Sta]

For Tassie, Tamar or Huon Valley?
