Burton McMahon Lusatia Park Chardonnay 2024
Woah! Big love right here. From Woori Yallock in the Yarra Valley perched 180 metres above, this Burton McMahon Lusatia Park Chardonnay is an exhibition of fabulous drive, balance and restrained power. The fruit was handpicked, whole bunch pressed and racked to barrel on 95% solids for wild yeast fermentation. Malo was not encouraged and it matured in French oak (30% new) for ten months. It opens with expressive aromas of caramel drops, Golden Rough, dedicated coconut and barbecued peach. There is a neat flow onto the palate with nougat and green apple adding detail. Possessing a delicate texture, there is a flash of lemon granita and yellow grapefruit on close. Oh, how I want more with each sip I take. Glorious. 94/100 Region: Yarra Valley RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

UB Sees Q4 Revival as Beer Growth Returns; Premium Portfolio Surges 16%
United Breweries Limited reported a strong close to FY26, with the beer category returning to double-digit growth in the fourth quarter, signalling a recovery led by sustained momentum in its premium portfolio. The company said 80% of its markets recorded growth during Q4, driven by robust performance from premium brands such as Kingfisher Ultra, Kingfisher Ultra Max and Heineken Silver. Beer category growth rebounded to 10% in Q4 FY26, with the company posting gains in both sell-in and sell-out volumes year-on-year. Sell-in volumes rose 4.1%, while sell-out volumes grew in high single digits. Premium volumes significantly outpaced the overall portfolio, registering a 16% increase during the quarter, reinforcing the company’s focus on premiumisation as a key growth lever. Despite the positive volume momentum, net sales for the quarter declined 3%, impacted by source mix, with a higher proportion of volumes coming from contract breweries.

Usher Tinkler Devil's Kitchen Pinot Noir 2025
Quite a different wine to the captivating and utterly delicious 2024 release , this Devil's Kitchen Pinot Noir from Usher Tinkler took me aback on opening. Joyous and juicy were the buzzwords with the 2024, but here I felt it was ripe and stewed on opening. I parked it and returned a day later, only to reveal it had taken quite a turn for the better. Perhaps there was some pent-up tension that needed release? Scents of rose hip and dried red petals skipped out with a plummy and dark cherry frame. Delightfully medium-bodied, some meaty things lurk within too - think pan juices and charcuterie. Finely textured with sandy-like tannins, recline by the fire pit and you're set. 90/100 Region: Hunter Valley RRP: $55 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and X

Why the RM vs NM Debate Isn't as Simple as Many Champagne Lovers Think
Normal 0 false false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE Why the RM vs NM Debate Isn't as Simple as Many Champagne Lovers Think Normal 0 false false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE I recently read an article, written with passion and knowledge, celebrating the rise of Grower Champagne. The author defined Grower Champagne as "the small-estate stuff (you know, the ones with an RM on the back label)" and contrasted these artisanal wines with the supposedly faceless world of the Négociant-Manipulants, identified by the letters NM. Like many champagne enthusiasts, I share the admiration for the growers behind the RM designation. Their stories are often fascinating, their connection to the land is tangible, and many produce outstanding wines. What concerns me, however, is the increasingly common assumption that RM automatically means authentic and high-quality, while NM implies something less worthy of attention. The reality is far more nuanced. In many cases, the distinction between RM and NM t

Half time scores
It's three months since the most recent JD Wetherspoon beer festival , and three months to go until the next one. I thought this would be an opportune moment to have a look at what's been new (to me) in the Dublin branches. Moorhouse is a regular at the chain and Pendle Witches Brew is a beer I've certainly heard of, but was surprised to find I'd never drank. "Strong ale" is something of a rare style, although this is down at the bottom end of it — 5.1% ABV — where it could equally be badged as a hefty bitter. The golden brown colour adds to that initial impression of twigginess, likewise its slightly soapy aroma. The flavour is altogether more light and breezy, presenting a fruity mix of currants and cherries, on a medium-dry malt base with a tannic bite. Think tea brack, but with some English hops adding an earthy bitterness to the finish. And while it may not be by-the-numbers strong, it presents a fullness and warmth which makes the description valid. It took me most of the p
