Wonderful. Pure mouse and high acid. Really nice fruit finish. Pricey, but worth it for a special occasion. — a year ago

La Femme à qui? Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot

1st Jan 2023. Hints of cider. Orange/rosé pet nat. Lively, energetic.

[Winemaker’s notes:] “This PétNat is 50% apple juice from an organic farm near Valvignères and 50% juice of red grapes from Domaine du Mazel (mainly merlot and cabernet sauvignon). The juice of the grapes and the apples have been co-fermenting since the pressing of the apples. The colour is like a rosé, light/peachy. Taste-wise, the nose gives a sensation of cider, but on the palate you’ll only find flavours of wine. The mixture of flavours is very very interesting. The bubbles are small and delicate. There’s no sugar left, i.e., a dry PétNat.”

“A beautiful shade of peach, this subtle, delicate sparkling wine sits somewhere between a cider and rosé in style.” Tutto Wines

Should We Just Rely On Luck? Rosé

Happy Mother’s Day! Should we just rely on luck? Like a true mother, this is funky and deep, with an underlying sweetness. Strawberry preserves, rhubarb and kombucha. Lightly sparkling, which tends to be the case when you’re low on sleep and catering to others. — 7 months ago

RdT Ardèche Syrah Blend

27 Dec dinner at Violet Oon w M, Katja, George, Adelia, Emelia, Cory, Summer, Quinn. Textured, rich, fruity.

This is eccentric, idiosyncratic Anders at its finest,. This is a blend of Syrah and Grenache Blanc alongside 6 varieties of red and white grapes usually intended for eating (Muscat Noir, Muscat Blanc, Chasselas, Italia, Ribol and Cardinal) Sour cherry fruit, floral, and GULPABLE.

Rouge 2019 from Ardéche.

Raisins de Table (Muscat blanc, Muscat Noir, Chasselas, Italia, Ribol Noir and Cardinal), Syrah & Grenache Blanc. 13,5% alc. The destemmed Raisins de Table and Grenache Blanc have been macerated in the pressurage direct juice of Syrah, for 6 weeks. After maceration the grapes were pressed for 3 days in our little vertical pressoir. The following fermentation took place in barriques for almost 11 months without soutirage. All fermentation has been on the yeast (sur lie). Bottled the 22nd of August 2020. Light red wine with a very solid expression. Many things are going on, on an aromatic level. Both Muscat and Grenache Blanc are very easily recognized.

Fermoy Estate

Reserve Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

See quite a few previous Delectable notes. Interesting back story about Fermoy Estate being served at the wedding of Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark to Sydney girl, Mary Donaldson. This is my last bottle. A deep dark crimson. A lovely nose of blackcurrant, eucalyptus and herbs. Palate of medium intensity showing those aromatics. A pretty good Margaret River Cabernet from the Wilyabrup district. Probably doesn’t get the credit it deserves being overshadowed by its more famous neighbours in Moss Wood, Woodlands, Vasse Felix and Cullen. — 9 months ago

Vibrant and unwound after a day. Herbaceous and purple with some of the deeper grenache tendencies buoyed by the blanc — 2 years ago
