Great recommendations! If you can locate some Hentley Farm Clos Otto or Standish wine company Lamella, they are the most elegant Australian Shiraz I’ve ever tried and represent great value!
Thanks very much! Appreciate the tip. I'll definitely keep an eye out. Sounds like one that is in my wheelhouse!
The Standish wines are incredible. Schubert Theorem the favourite for me
@Attorney Somm, The Lamella got a 100 point this year from Erin Larkin (wine advocate ) Dan Standish's wines usually sell out quick.
@@chrishalls4734 Thanks! I'll definitely have to try these wines. Much appreciated.
@@minka8047 Looks like a place where I source wine has some 2018 The Relic.
What a pleasant surprise! Didn’t expect Australian and New Zealand wines to be your next topic. Despite the abundance of Aussie wine in my city, I don’t have a single Aussie wine in my wine coolers. But I do love Penfolds and, upon your recommendation here, I have recently enjoyed Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Sémillon. I’m quite thrilled to see Penfolds Bin 28 Shiraz in this video, as I have enjoyed it in a recent Penfolds tasting. Also glad to see Tasmania represented here. I’ve always been curious about their sparkling wines! This is an excellent set of recommendations, and I’ll be sure to save the list for shopping-reference. It would be nice to have some wines from Down Under. Thank you for yet another helpful, useful, and relevant video. Definitely a must-watch for all wine lovers. Cheers, John!
Thanks very much, Margaux! Glad it was useful and that you enjoyed it! Wines from Australia and New Zealand are a small, but enjoyable percentage of my collection. Hope you enjoy your weekend! Cheers!
@@AttorneySomm You’re welcome, John! Hope you enjoy your weekend, too!
I recently picked up a few bottles of the Leeuwin Estate Art Series Cabernet 2019. It really impressed me! 2019 is a great vintage for Margaret River too (I believe). I highly recommend it. One of my new favorites. Planning on picking up a few more bottles for the cellar. Great recommendation!
Thank you! A consistently excellent wine. Very glad you enjoy it! 👍🍷
Thanks for the heads up on the Jansz. I’ll look for it. 😊
Thank you! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
One great wine to add is Domaine A Cabernet Sauvignon from Tasmania. Fantastic!
Thanks very much! Appreciate the suggestion.
Love these recommendations. I always like Australian and New Zealand wines🍷
Thanks very much, Natasha! Glad you enjoyed it!
i find the country specific recommendations very helpful. particularly in regions like Australia & New Zealand, which I find to be areas I want to explore more
Thanks very much! Glad that it is useful! Appreciate the feedback.
Love the video! I need to try John Duval, Xanadu, and Escarpment. I personally prefer Hunter Valley Shiraz like Tyrrells Steven's Vineyard and Brokenwood Graveyard and Kat's Block to Barossa. Also love NZ Craggy Range GG syrah, great stuff.
Balnaves Coonawara Estate and Tally cabs are outstanding as well. NZ Man o War Ironclad is an excellent Weiheke BDX blend I love too.
God Kumeu is good! AUS Leuwin Prelude Chard is an outstanding value too.
Tyrrells semillon is also so so good. HvD gets more toasty but vat 1 doesn't seem to age almost at all!
Jansz is lovely, Frogmore Creek as well
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed your video!
Also appreciate you sharing your detailed thoughts. Appreciate your input! Cheers!
My top Aussie wine is Clonakilla Shiraz Viognier. Just gorgeous. In general, Canberra District wines are hugely underrated. Eden Road has stunning cool climate Shiraz and pinot. Riesling from Canberra is the best in Australia, and maybe the best outside of Europe.
Thank you for weighing in! Appreciate your insights. 👍🍷
Janzs is an amazing value, had one a while ago, and another waiting in the wings. One of the most champagne like sparkling wines out there.
@@andrewkarl5174 Completely agree with you! Thanks very much!
Interesting regarding the similarities between the Aussie Chardonnay and white Burgundy. The same can be said of some of the better South African Chardonnays especially when aged. A very interesting video.Tks
Thanks very much! That is true. Cheers!
Good recommendations, John. I still find Aussie reds in general too big, alcoholic and obvious for my taste but the whites, especially from Margaret River, are excellent. NZ is a terrific source of great chardonnay and pinot noir, particularly from Martinborough. Not a big fan of Marlborough SB these days, although I might pull out my last bottle of Greywacke 2016 on Saturday: we are eating Thai with friends.
Oh, and the Jansz is a very good substitute for Champagne. Our local supermarket stocks it for £15 on special offer.
Thank you, Steven. Completely agree with you re: Margaret River as well as NZ Chardonnay. Sounds like a good use for the Greywacke!
Some essential Aus/NZ wines in my book
Bordeaux blends
Mount Mary Quintet, Yarra Yering Dry Red 1, Te Mata Coleraine (NZ), Stonyridge (NZ)
Chardonnay
Giaconda & other beechworth
Bindi & Cobaw Ridge
Grenache
MMAD, Yangarra, SC Pannell
Pinot
By Farr, Bindi, Rippon (NZ)
Syrah
Standish, Sami Odi, By Farr, Bilancia (NZ)
Riesling
Crawford River, Rippon (NZ)
Thank you for the thoughtful list. Still lots of Australian wines for me to try! Sadly I don’t have access to as many here but do my best to taste broadly. And my recommendation are typically for wines people can easily source worldwide.
Love the videos John but you missed a couple of great ones which I urge you to try in the future…. ‘Tolpuddle’( Aus Pinot) and NZ producer ‘Pyramid Valley’ range (Earthsmoke, Angel Flower, Lion’s tooth). I’ve tried a lot of wines down. I think you’ll enjoy them if can get hands on them
Thank you! Appreciate the suggestions. Wines from New Zealand and Australia are not as plentiful here, but definitely do my best to try them when I can. I'll keep an eye out for these. Cheers!
I would add Clonakilla O'Riada Shiraz, Clarendon Hills Blewitt Springs Old Vines Grenache, and Henschke Apple Tree Bench.
Thanks for these worthy additions!
My first Tasmanian wine was Jansz's pink sparkler, which was terrific on its own and with food (it was New American/East Asian restaurant with Middle Eastern influences). Interesting that you spelled the island like the Warner Brothers cartoon character of its namesake! 😂🤣
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the sparkling rosè! Ha! Yes, I must have had Looney Tunes on the brain that day. 🤣 An oversight by my editor (me).
@@AttorneySomm, hoping to expand my experiences with Oceania, which is pretty limited (Kumeu River, Marlborough SB, and a huge Shiraz). I have Escarpment on my checklist when I start exploring PN's.
@@mickeylee2624 Sounds like a good approach! Cheers!
Can you make a video about Penfolds Grange; and the differences between the high and low bin numbers?
Appreciate the suggestion! This is on a list of potential videos to make. Thank you!
Looks like I’m going shopping…😎😎.
Excellent! Happy hunting!
