Wine Week 107: Hot, Hot Hot. (And the winners are…)
This week we announce the winners of our Best Dozen of 08 compeition. Of course as well as filling the cellars of two lucky WineWeek friends we offer up three wines perfect for the heatwave baking south-eastern Australia. The first is a sparkling shiraz. If you’re a big red drinker this is the perfect answer, just chill it down before popping the cork. The next wine is an Alace white blend from a producer who’s been making wine for more than 350 years! And our final wine of the week is a Rosé perfect for those 40C/100F days.
The two lucky winners of our “Best Dozen of ’08″ competition, who will receive a full dozen of the wines we picked as being the best of 2008 came from both our email subscribers, and our twitter followers. Congratulations to the two winners, Reneé and @Lilylauren!

- Banrock Station The Reserve Sparkling shiraz NV ($10-12)
- Hugel ‘Gentil’ 2006 ($21-25)
