citrus, light sweet, fresh, long crispy finish with mineral notes. enjoyed it in Brisbane Sono Japanese Restaurant, the sour, sweetness and freshness enhanced sushi taste.
deep dark red, looks like Syrah, however it tastes completely different. fresh fruity sweet, jammy but light and supple. enjoyed this nice Gamay in Brisbane Sono Japanese Restaurant, the fresh sweetness nicely matched to savoury fat in sashimi salmon and duck teriyaki with orange sauce. WE88, wonderful Beaujolais! nice restaurant as well, they have a fabulous wine list.
68% Shiraz, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon dark colour, fine tannins with dark fruit aromas, supple, balanced with gentle pepper spicy. fully bodied. typical South Australia Shiraz flavour, good one with beef steak.
light ruby. pepper flavour dominates, soft tannins, tastes like Pinot Noir mixed with black pepper spicy. too simple, can't believe that's just Barossa terroir though its 2010 vintage won IWSC Gold Outstanding, not my cup of tea.
