Larni enjoyed a few glasses of the Tahbilk Estate Marsanne 2005. It's a light white with a not too sweet and not too dry palette. A good introduction to white wines.
This week we look at a white wine which is not the best known variety, but one worth trying - especially at the price. As well we look at a great Shiraz and yet another brilliant 04 Coonwarra Cab Sauv.
During Benjamin Christie's visit to McLaren Vale, he caught up with fourth generation wine maker, Chester Osborn from d'Arenberg Winery to learn about what goes into producing his range of award winning wines.Benjamin and Chester talk about the d'Arenberg Hermit Crab which is a blend of Viognier and Marsanne grapes.For more information visit http://www.benjaminchristie.co /blog/darenberg-wines
Given all the focus on food and wine matching sometimes it can be hard to find a wine ideal for drinking just on its own. This week we look at a white from the Rutherglen region which is perfect for enjoying all on its own. We also look at two Coonawarra reds that are regularly discounted from good value down to exceptional value territory!
