How was your Open That Bottle Night? It’s safe to say ours was pretty darn delicious with this 2010 Cape Naturaliste Cabernet Sauvignon. I actually think it was the perfect time to crack it as it was super smooth and delicious to drink. There were some nice fruits in it, a bit of savouriness and it…
Margaret River in Western Australia produces some amazing Chardonnay’s. They have the perfect climate to grow deliciously juicy Chardonnay grapes. This 2019 Moss Brothers Margaret River Wines ‘Fidium’ Chardonnay is no exception. A big thank you to the Moss Brothers team for sending us this sample to try. It was wild fermented, spent 10 months in French…

And in the case of this 2019 Moss Brothers Margaret River Wines Fidium Cabernet Sauvignon which I kindly received as a sample (thank you!!) it’s that the Moss Brothers winemakers are attuned with the vineyard and its “cycles, its idiosyncrasies, its aspect and of course its full terroir profile.” And…

Have you tried a wine made from Malbec? Have you tried a wine made from Petit Verdot? Have you tried a wine made from the 2 put together? Aka an MPV. My friends over at John Kosovich Wines in Perth’s Swan Valley have done just that (thank you for the sample guys!). These 2 varietals thrive in…
How do you cellar your wine? I have 2 Vintec fridges which are set at cellaring temp (12 degrees) and I also have an under the stairs stash (as they don’t all fit in my fridges). I use the Oeno by Vintec wine cellar app to keep a track of what’s in the fridges as…
