Zarephath 2018 Pinot Noir – Great Southern
This Great Southern 2018 Pinot Noir was one of my favourite tipples from my recent Perth trip. It was tasting down right delicious when we cracked it and my taste buds really loved it.

It’s Sunday night, so let’s get stuck into some red wine. Who’s with me? We were recently sent this sample of the La La Land 2017 Tempranillo from Mildura in the Murray Darling district of Victoria to taste. I have to admit, I do love a good Temp!
Organic, Biodynamic & Preservative Free Rosé A big thanks to Paxton Wines who recently sent me this sample of their new release NOW 2019 Rosé from South Australia’s McLaren Vale region to taste. This pink wine is a blend of 56% Shiraz grapes and 44% Grenache grapes.
Sauvignon Blanc, yay or nay? I find people have very strong opinions about wines made from Sauvignon Blanc. Personally I enjoy a glass of Sauvy B, for me it makes me think of the beach and seafood. I also love the diversity you can find, for instance Aussie Sauv can be so different from New…

Please find my notes below for the 2017 and 2018 Xabregas Rieslings from Mount Barker in Western Australia’s Great Southern region.

As some of you may know from my adventures on social media, I have recently got back from a trip to Tasmania. The wineries of Tasmania have long been on my wine travel bucket list. Why? Because for one, everyone I know who has visited Tassie (this is what the locals call Tasmania) has loved…
Oh yes we so did. When I was back in Perth recently we totally raided Naomi’s wine cellar. Naomi has visited the Great Southern region a couple of times this year and she most definitely brought back some tasty loot. One of those bottles was this Castle Rock Estate 2018 Porongurup Riesling produced by winemaker…
