The Wine Front – Mataro and Grenache. So far, these 2023 vintage wines from Whistler seem to have gone up a notch in quality. Strawberry, raspberry, slight orange peel. It’s juicy, with red fruit, a sort of creamy yoghourt richness, light dusty texture, and a finish of good length, with a dusting of white pepper. Very nice. - Gary Walsh 4 January 2024
James Halliday – A pithy little rosé, a blend of 52% mataro and 48% grenache that shows sprightly raspberry, redcurrant, watermelon and red apple tones along with hints of soft spice, red berry cream, stone, nougat, wildflowers and redcurrant jelly. Dry with just a tinge of dried herbs, it shows a fine, briny acid drive and a swell of red fruits on the finish. - Dave Brookes, 4 May 2024

Showcasing a sun, which provides the warm temperatures to ripen our grapes, this is the perfect drink for warm weather. The cactus reminds us that our grapes are grown on the driest state, on the driest continent on earth and this Provence styled rosé is 'dry as a bone'. A blend of 64% Mataro & 36% Grenache. The Grenache component was grown here on our own vineyards using organic and biodynamic practices while the Mataro comes from older vine material in Greenock. Each variety was picked and made separately. Our soils are quite shallow and have outcrops of ironstone in the vineyard, which gives the wine a nice savoury edge. Very pale pastel pink, almost brassy in colour, with aromas of red apple, fresh raspberries, cherries and strawberry yogurt. The palate is dry, but has great fruit weight and great length. There is some complexity on the palate from the lees stirring. The perfect drink for a sunny day!

Barossa Valley Wine
The Barossa Valley wine region has historically and currently still is one of Australia's most prestigious premium wine producing regions. Located just 60km north east of Adelaide city centre, the climate there is very hot and dry which is perfect for the big bold reds the area is famous for.
A straight Shiraz is what Barossa is most well known for, however Rhone blends, such as Shiraz Cabernet are also very popular. While much less prevalent, white wines (Chardonnay, Riesling, Semillon) are planted on the higher altitude hillsides where the ocean breeze cools temperatures down to a level suitable for producing these varieties as well.
Some of Australia's earliest Shiraz plantings can be found here dating as far back as the 1850's. While not always a guarantee of quality, it might be worth seeking out and trying one of the region's "old vine shiraz" if you haven't yet.
