About Me

I'm just your average guy with a love and passion for wine. I enjoy touring and tasting as well as collecting wines. My current cellar sits around 350 bottles which fluctuates dependent on occasions and if I find a bargain. My preference for drinking as you will discover as this blog grows is to big bold Shiraz, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and the occasional Rosé on a summers day. Although they are the wines I love I definitely appreciate all wines and give my descriptions/recommendations based on the quality and taste of the wine not based on my personal preference to the grape variety, I will drop my opinion in there to help those few out who simply want to be told good or not good. Good luck with your purchases and I hope I can help. Happy drinking.

Montara Grampians Riesling 2013

When I think Grampians I don't think riesling but why not I guess so here we go.

Lifted white floral notes with varietal lemons and limes, palate has great fruit drive and weight with impeccable balance. Nice acid structure without being aggressive, lime shines with lemon pith and grapefruit. Overall a well rounded and easy drinking riesling.

Simply it's good gear! Got great citrus and nice gentle acidity that is varietal but makes the wine super drinkable.

No critic reviews yet that I know of but it should sit between 89 and 93 I'd have thought. Me a solid 92 because I wanted just a bit more clean lines and definition.

Value.. $19 ish, $23 from the producer, so not terrible and what you'd expect from a boutique producer. If I picked it up for $15 I'd be happy enough.

Summary it's not a bad little number and will be well received but didn't wow me off my feet. Good but not great and god knows there is GREAT riesling out there at this price point. Try it if you can! Happy drinking.
