Winemakers Notes

Apr. 16

Azaleas were in full bloom at the hedge near my house.

 

 

 

 

 

It’s beautiful but a little intimidating, isn’t it?

 

 

 

 

1st Winemakers Notes Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019  1280 yen

This white wine is made in Swan Hill, Victoria Australia by Andrew Peace, which is one of the biggest family wineries in Australia.

It is a very fine white wine.

I felt fresh fruits, fine acidity and good minerals.

The style is very pure and natural.

The price is very reasonable.

I call this one Marquis de Beau Rond in Australia.

 

 

2nd Winemakers Notes Cabernet Shiraz 2019  1280 yen

This blend is very popular in Australia.

Even though the winery produce wine 2,500,000 cases from the estate vineyards per year, all of the vineyards were controlled by sustainable.

Also they don’t use any bad chemicals.

The taste of this one is very pure and natural, too.

I felt elegant fruits, nice acidity, comfortable tannins and good mouthfeel.

Very good!
