Wine Week 144: Shiraz, Riesling and… Malbec?!
This week we kick things off with a classic Aussie Shiraz from Mount Langi, a producer who seems more than capable of churning out great value quaffers and ripper top end wines too! We then look at the Heemskerk Coal River Riesling. A few weeks back we interviewed Anna Pooley at the Young Gun of Wine Festival tasting and thought it about time we looked at one of her wines too. It’s not the standard Aussie fare, but it’s a great drop that many of you will love. Our last wine of the week is a straight Malbec, something we haven’t done a lot of. In this case it’s from Harcourt Valley and Brad thinks it’s a great drop for now, or for laying down for a few years.
This week’s recommendations are:
- Mount Langi Cliff Edge Shiraz 2005 ($24-27)
- Heemskerk Coal River Riesling ($40-45)
- Harcourt Valley Limited Release Malbec 2008 ($18-$20)
