I have had very few rosé wines made from Nebbiolo – from those I’ve had though, they have been fantastic. 3drops from Western Australia do a great Nebbiolo Rose and now I have another one to add to the list – introducing the Tar & Roses Heathcote 2019 Nebbiolo Rosè. A big thank you to Narelle King the…
I admit it, I drink a lot of Shiraz. I just love the variety. It’s got a great spectrum of flavours and Shiraz is fantastic for matching with food, in my opinion. Which is why I was excited to tuck into this sample bottle from Red Edge Wines in Heathcote recently.
This was our Sunday night – red wine, homemade pies and salad (#balance). I have to admit, it made the end of the week pretty darn enjoyable. This bottle of Brown Brothers 2018 Limited Release Malbec is part of the REDvolution Wine Selectors case. I was kindly gifted a sample case by Wine Selectors (thank…
40% Tempranillo, 25% Monastrell, 25% Graciano and 10% Touriga is the blend of grapes which makes up Red Edge’s Tinto Mezclado (meaning red wine mixture in Spanish).

You’ll notice sediment in aged red wines and also in some vintage ports.
It must be a good sign if I am posting a picture of an empty bottle right 😉 Actually who am I kidding, most of the pictures I post are of empty bottles! A big thanks to St Anne’s Winery who sent me over this 2017 Heathcote Cabernet Sauvignon to taste. Mr Spittoon and I…
Victoria’s Heathcote region, is definitely on my wine travel bucket list. I have had so many delicious Heathcote wines and this 2017 Shiraz from St Anne’s is one of them!
Curry + Shiraz = one of my favourite combos. This sample bottle of Tatalia 2016 Shiraz from VIC’s Heathcote region I received from the lovely folk at St Anne’s Winery. The RRP for this Aussie Shiraz is $36 and it weights in at 14.5% alcohol.
In the past couple of months I have drank at least a dozen different wines from the Heathcote Wine Region in Victoria, Australia. And I drank them all from the comfort of my own couch! For my birthday in January my parents decided to give me an AMAZING present that any wine lover would drool…
