Mount Avoca focus on producing organic wine from their Victorian winery based in Pyrenees wine region. They grow, made and bottle all their wines onsite and even offer “Eco-Luxe” lodges accomodation at the vineyard. Who doesn’t love a winery escape am I right? The 400 acre property was planted with vines in 1970 and also…
I love a good bbq feast and one of my favourite red wines to match with barbecued food is Tempranillo. A big thank you to Heirloom Vineyards for this sample of their 2019 Adelaide Hills Tempranillo. We popped it in the decanter to further open up and soften. I made some cheesy, garlic cauliflower patties…
Seriously Hither & Yon you’ve got some damn fine wine and food pairings *micdrop* A big thanks for the sample to try guys!

In the glass it’s an alluring deep red-purple plum colour. I’m the nose it smells like freshly cut wood and stewed berries. Though juicy berries flow through to the…
A year ago we headed along to the Side Gate Wines Art Series launch party in Collingwood where we tried this little Tempranillo + Pinot Noir blend. “The art of Melbourne painter Benjamin Aitken is the first edition of Art Series labels by Side Gate winemaker, Josef Orbach. This label was born out of love…
Have you tried a red wine made from a blend of Graciano and Tempranillo grapes? This 2019 Twill and Daisy blend is fairly new to the market and is made by the Pure Wine Co. I was lucky enough to nab a sample bottle a few weeks back to give a whirl.
Rosé weather is coming! We recently had a pretty warm day here in Gippsland so we picked up this Tim Adams Mr Mick 2018 Rosé from South Australia’s Clare Valley. It’s made from a blend of Sangiovese, Tempranillo and Mataro grapes.
