JM 1ST APPROACH

THE WINE FRONT - Campbell Mattinson, - This mourvedre from Turkey Flat spent 20 months in French oak puncheons. We have another winning mourvedre here. It's dark berried and earthen, leathery and polished. Spicy, cedary oak makes a delicious contribution and its grainy, assertive, rusty tannin is a highlight. Lovely length. Medium-bodied but almost porty in its ripeness. Beautiful wine to drink even now though it can be cellared with confidence too. Rating: 94 Points

Hints of licorice, dark chocolate, earth, jasmin, five spice and subtle, seasoned oak nuances. Plenty of drive across the palate with a lovely line of bright, energetic acidity that seems to wrap around the ripe, chalky fine-grained tannins and the wine drives through to a finish that is poised perfectly.

Deep Amber with an olive edge. Lifted and vibrant with varietal tealeaf aromas, honeyed richness and a touch of nutty complexity, balanced by a delicate spirit lift.

The palate displays fresh, sweet tealeaf and malt flavours with raisined intensity and impressive length. The sweet fruit flavours are balanced by natural acidity and well-integrated spirit ensuring a clean finish. Learn More

The Barossa Wine Show delivered a result for the people this year, naming an $18 sensation as its finest white wine of any variety and any age.  It ticks every box: delicate fragrance of lime blossom and lemon zest, precise palate focus of granny smith apples, slatey structure and an outstanding acid line that carries long into the finish.

... firmer, more intense and filled with zesty lime juice flavours, bolstered and lengthened by good acidity; it carries its message through the length of the palate and aftertaste. 94 points James Halliday Top 100 Wines

Deep golden tawny with slight red hues. Fresh clean and spicy fruit with integrated vanillin oak and rancio derived from the oak maturation.

Round and full with spice and fruit combined with a nutty complexity. The finish is balanced with wonderfully integrated spirit, clean and fresh. Learn More

This wine reflects the up & coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines which make up the core of our other cuvees.

Dense, rich and opulent, this wine combines great fruit purity with texture, complexity and finesse. Whilst offering immense pleasure in its youth the 2011 Woodcutter's Shiraz will no doubt develop beautifully. Learn More

Medium to deep crimson in colour with purple hue. Ripe Satsuma plums and mulberry fruits fill the nostrils with lovely creamy vanilla, chocolate and hints of smoke, violets and citrus. Bright, juicy, plum and mulberry fruits flow onto the palate which is medium bodied. The sweet fruit is well balanced with silky tannins, good acidity, briary and sweet spice. A nice long finish tapers from sweet fruit through spice and citrus to end with a little dark chocolate.

A long and very tight finish. Delicious wine, and will improve (quite a lot I think) with a little sleep in the cellar! Is a really good and very interesting wine that will develop into something even more in 3-5 years. Its that old expression, a food wine, really comes alive with some great tapas, grills of meat dishes.  The auswine panel
