Wine Week 143: Not the easiest to get.
This week we look a three wines that won’t be the easiest to find. The first is a Cabernet blend from Sorrenberg, a Beechworth winery who sell most of their wines via a mailing list. We follow this up with a Gamay from Roundstone, a winery that earlier this year was destroyed in the Victorian bushfires. To round things out we look at a Fiano, an Italian white grape variety, which is being made in very small batches by one of our favourite smaller wineries, Oliver’s Taranga.
If you’re around Melbourne this weekend, why not drop out to the Shed Fest in the Yarra Valley? Support the small local wineries after the tough start to 2009 that saw bushfires destroy so much of the area. Details on ShedFest are available on the ShedFest website.
This week’s recommendations are:
- Sorrenberg Cabernet 2005 ($38-40)
- Roundstone Gamay 2008 ($20-15)
- Oliver’s Taranga Fiano 2008 ($22-$24)
