I got a very fresh “Isaki” and cooked it to “Sashimi”.
Very good!
1st Andrew Peace Winemakers Notes Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2019 1280 yen + tax
It is made from Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc grown in Swan Hill, Victoria, Australia by sustainable method.
Andrew Peace is a very popular family winery there.
It’s a very clean style white wine.
I like the pure fruits, nice acidity and good minerals.
It’ s just my favorite style of white wine.
It is totally opposite against my stereotype image of Australia white wine, which is big, fat and strong.
Because 1280 yen is the catalog price, you can buy this one with under 1000 yen at supermarkets.
It is super reasonable, I think.
2nd Andrew Peace Winemakers Notes Cabernet Shiraz 2019 1280 yen + tax
The blend of Cabernet and Shiraz is very popular one in Australia.
My image of the blend is dark, dense, concentrated full-body.
However, this one is totally opposite, too.
I felt very pure fruits, nice acidity, soft tannin and mild mouthfeel.
The style is really cool and elegant.
I had thought that there was no reasonable Australia wine in this class in Japan.
I was wrong.
I want to recommend this one for all.
