Exploring Brancott’s Low ABV Sauvignon Blanc
We have posted two wine reviews during January this year, so clearly we did not participate in Dry January. We do have an appreciation for wines with lower alcohol, however, and it factors significantly in the wines we choose to drink. Some critics will say balance is more important than ABV and don’t list ABV in their reviews, but both […] The post Exploring Brancott’s Low ABV Sauvignon Blanc appeared first on Pull That Cork .

August 2024
Grosset G110 Riesling 2022 . Watervale, Clare Valley. 12.9%. Screw cap. Approx $A135. A super wine, though I’m not sure I’ll bite again. . . It’s very similar in character and quality to the cheaper Polish Hill (which is still around $A80). A single clone wine - the small berried Geisenheim 110. Very intense and pure; chalk and talc, bath salts and lime. Sharp, blade like acidity. A trio of Pinot noir couplets. . . Hochkirch Maximus Pinot noir 2021 . Pretty nose, delicate fruit and florals with woodsmoke. Muscular tannins, expansively fleshy palate. Needs time . The Pyramid Valley North Caterbury Pinot noir 2020 was fine and softer in structure, with Lovely mid palate zip and spice . The next two a contrast in tannins. The Castlerock Estate A&W 2022. Porongurup has more cedar and spice, it seems old school, Shiraz like in emphasis. . . The Bubb + Pooley 2022 Coal River finer and softer, but still with weight and depth. There’s more fi

Guide to New Zealand Wines
Guide to New Zealand Wines The New Zealand Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc ocean New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and specifically Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc have been pretty much synonymous with New Zealand wine until fairly recently. Indeed even in 2023 Sauvignon Blanc still accounted for 65%* of New Zealand’s total wine grape vineyard area – and most of that was in Marlborough, 58% of New Zealand’s total vineyard area. Amazing facts especially when you consider that the grape was first planted in Marlborough only in 1975. You cannot ignore the importance of this grape as it thrust New Zealand onto the international wine scene. Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc still clearly has its fans. Many have fallen for its aromatics, its crisp zing and unique flavours of gooseberry, red peppers with hints of passionfruit and fresh cut grass. As Sauvignon Blanc production started to become more commercial in the 1970s, at the lower end of the market (encouraged, it has to be said, by retailers importing into

SUMMER RED WINES FOR CHILLING
Lighter red wines can really benefit from a slight chilling to make them even more appetising on a warm summer’s evening.
