The Tanks Tom Built – Church Road Winery
There is a set of concrete tanks under the ground at Church Road that no longer hold any wine. They were built to. For decades they did, and the man who filled them, Tom McDonald, is the reason most people who know anything about New Zealand wine know the name Hawke's Bay at all. The tanks are still there. That, more than anything on the tasting list, is what makes this place worth the detour. The post The Tanks Tom Built – Church Road Winery appeared first on Great Wine Capitals .

A Tour of Wine Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc (Part 1)
Sauvignon Blanc 🥂 Photo by Nathan on Wikimedia Commons The name originates from the French words sauvage ("wild") and vigne ("vine"). Native to western France, written records document its cultivation in the Loire Valley and Bordeaux by the 18th century. It is a natural cross between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc grapes. Today, winemakers grow it throughout the world. France produces lean, high-acid styles, while New Zealand's Marlborough region focuses on highly aromatic, pungent styles. California produces both crisp styles and barrel-aged varieties, while Chile, South Africa, and South Australia also maintain significant commercial production. Sauvignon Blanc wines have notes of green grass, lime, and green bell pepper. Warmer climates yield tropical fruit profiles like passion fruit and peach. On the palate, it is a dry wine with a light body and bright acidity. Winemakers use two main methods: unoaked (fermented in stainless steel to preserve fruit and acidity) and oaked (ag

Scholarship gives emerging industry professionals hands-on judging experience at Sydney Royal Wine Show
Three winemakers from across Australia recently “gained valuable hands-on experience” by taking part in the Sydney Royal Wine Show as part of the Sydney Royal Wine Professional Development Scholarship program administered by the RAS Foundation. Awarded late last year, the scholarships are helping recipients further refine their skills, with scholars undertaking the Advanced Wine Assessment Course or Advanced Viticulture Course through the Australian Wine Research Institute. To learn from some of Australia’s top judges and help celebrate 200 years of the Sydney Royal Wine Show, scholars Michelle Li, who currently works at Knappstein Wines in the Clare Valley, SA; Oliver Thomas of Murray Street in Barossa Valley, SA; and Jaimee Mutton, from Agnew Wines in the Hunter Valley, NSW, travelled to Sydney to attend judging. Sydney Royal Wine Committee Chair, Angus Barnes, said the scholarships are an important investment in the people who will help shape the next chapter of Australian wine. “Th

🎧Aglianico Rosato: If You Love a Bold Red Wine, Try Its Rosé!
When you take a great red wine grape like Aglianico and you make a Rosé from it, do you know what you get? That’s right. A great Rosé! In this episode we explore Rosé made from Aglianico, the King of Southern Italian red wines, which also happens to make a great Rosé. If you think you don’t like Rosé, it probably just means that you haven’t had one made from a red wine grape that you love. And in Italy, they are starting to make some fantastic Rosé wines, also known as Rosato in Italian. So, if you see the term Rosato, don’t be confused. Unlike the typical Provence-style Rosé, which dominates the market, Aglianico Rosé wines have more structure and more complexity. We also talk about a study that found people who know a lot about wine tend to be of higher intelligence. We couldn’t agree more! Wines reviewed in this episode: 2024 San Salvatore Vetere Rosato, 2025 Feudi di San Gregorio San Greg Rosato Send us a Text Message and we'll respond in our next episode! Contact The Wine Pair Pod
