Australia tasting notes
May 2019
Find our favorite tasted wines in each vineyard. Of course it’s very subjective, and everyone has its own preferences. It also depends on the moment of the day, the food you eat with, the people sharing this special moment and many other things!
St Hallett
Blackwell Shiraz, 2015
​
We loved this big wine, representative of Barossa style Shiraz with chocolate, plum and spices notes on the nose. It’s full bodied, well balanced with ripe tannins and a dense mouthfeel!
​
Single Vineyard Series Dawkins Vineyard Eden Valley, 2016
​
We enjoyed this highly aromatic Shiraz with sage, spearmint and blackberry characters. It has a well-structured palate and good acidity and length!

We appreciatedthe complex aromas of berry fruit, spices and hints of mocha. This well-balanced wine also has a round and soft palate with fine tannins
La Bise
La Bise, Nero D’Avola, 2017

We really appreciated this sharp Sicilian variety wine with smells of red fruits, white pepper and mint. It also has hints of honey and violets on the back palate which add to the long savory finish.
Rolf Binder
Shiraz, Eden Valley, 2015
​
This wine has leathery notes and vanillan character from the 22 months in American oak barrels. We also liked its finer tannin structure.
Montepulciano, Eden Valley, 2016
​
We liked this bright ruby-colored wine with a cherry, blackberry fruit and pepper nose. The palate shows hints of tar and chocolate with a firm and dry finish
Flaxman
GMS (Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz), 2015
​
We loved this popular Aussie blend with a strong red fruits bouquet including raspberry and cherry. It’s well-balanced with a gentle savoury palate.
The Stranger, 2015 (80% Shiraz and 20% Cabernet).
​
We also loved this classic Aussie blend with notes of cassis, chocolate and mint. In mouth, we found again this fruity taste with elegant minty chocolate flavors before a persistent finish
Henschke
Mount Edelstone, Shiraz, 2015
​
We loved the concentrated flavors of spicy plum, sage, blackberry and pepper of this wine. We enjoyed the fleshy in texture palate with elegant and velvety tannins.

Innes Vineyard, Pinot Gris, 2016
​
We enjoyed the sweet, exotic fragrance of honeysuckle and stone-fruits coming from the fermentation on lees and giving it complexity. It also has a great weight and depth with a crisp acid and long finish.

Sparkling Montepulciano, 2017
​
We enjoyed this unique sparkling wine with its complex aromas of plum, black cherry, fruit cake and spice. It also has a generous velvety palate of rich fruits and spices but is still very refreshing
The Rifleman, Shiraz, 2016
​
We enjoyed its intense blackberries, chocolaty aromas with hints of licorice and coconut oak characters. On the palate, we felt intense blackcurrant and chocolate notes and loved its silky tannins
Zonte’s Footstep
Hills are alive, Adelaide Hills, Shiraz, 2017
​
We loved the lively nose of red cherries with spiced plums and liquorice. It tastes like plums with a hint of white pepper and has soft tannins
Chocolate Factory, McLaren Vale, Shiraz, 2017
​
This wine is like a black Forest cake in bottle. We appreciated the black cherry and mocha notes and its silky milk chocolate tannins. It also tastes like cedar, cigar box and blackberries.
Cassegrain
Nebbiolo, 2017
​
This wine has a floral nose with sweet perfumed fruit, violet and nutmeg. We really enjoyed the dark sour cherry mushroom on the palate.
Shiraz Pinot Noir, 2017
​
We loved the cherry and strawberry aromas from the Pinot combined with pepper and raspberry from the Shiraz. It has layers of earthiness, a touch of new French oak characters and fine tannins
