Black Beauty Barossa Valley Sparkling Shiraz

Stuart Robinson

9.3

NV, 2016 disgorgement: beautiful brambly black fruit nose, touch of black cherry and even a little spice/almond paste.

Smooth, velvety, an elegance with a depth bringing up the rear. Effortless in its delivery, exquisite in its form. #flowerday #BD — 9 years ago

Domaine Zind Humbrecht

Calcaire Alsace Riesling 2011

8.5

An Alsatian delicacy, bio-dynamic and exquisitely fresh in it's wintery wonder. If I'm not mistaken, this winemaker is part of an alternative certifying body for bio-dynamic wine: biodyvin! Dry and fresh all at once, great with a homemade autumn meal comprised of quinoa stuffed squash and braised beef with mushroom creme sauce. — 12 years ago

Marie-Thérèse Chappaz is a wonderful #BD Swiss vintner. Wd love to see more of her wines here.

Nice as they are, Swiss wines tend to be very expensive. Too few people are ready to pay for them.

Fix that, Tom! ;) Chappaz's dôle is wonderful too.

So is it orange, cloudy, tannic and pleasurable?

I thought so, yes (whence the maniacal smiley). Best for orange wine initiates happy to have their palates surprised.
