23.01.2022 BAROSSA UNEARTHED Michael Wohlstadt, The Dairyman ARTISAN FOOD CREATOR & FARMER... Michael wears many hats on his property in the foothills near Tweedies Gully, Pewsey Vale and they all stem from a passion to create produce of the highest standard. Creating and making food with passion, care and a deft hand Michael understands the importance of raising his animals ethically, with the ability to free range and that great food comes from this love that is put into the process. Michael milks his small herd of jersey cows daily, with the milk producing rich beautiful butter, cream and a source of feed for his Berkshire, Tamworth and Hampshire Black and Red Pigs’, creating an intensely flavoured pork. Michael has recently added oyster mushrooms to the mix of what he produces yet another hat that he has to juggle oh, then there’s the amazing accommodation options where people can stay and get the full experience of a beautiful farm life! A ‘mostly’ portrait and ‘brief’ interview series exploring the idea that one image has the power to tell the whole story. Each ‘sitter’ suggests the next person to be photographed in this series, and thus ensues an interesting and unknown trail of Barossa identities to come.

21.01.2022 'In the very greatest seasons, Eden Valley Cabernet is something to behold, uniting varietal precision and structural energy with enticing depth of delicious, glossy black fruits. Even more pure and focused than the epic 2015 before it, this is an incredible juxtaposition of blackcurrant density and consummately scaffolded endurance.'

20.01.2022 "Long one of my favourite Torbrecks, The Gask has risen in the presence of Ian Hongell in the great 2018 season to hither to unknown heights, with dense iodine and blackberries over a magnificent core of super fine tannins, completed with length and line of outstanding definition."

18.01.2022 Rosie Reynolds rarely does the grocery shopping nowadays. The Angaston mother of three is a community midwife for the entire Gawler and Barossa region and whilst that isn’t the reason she doesn’t pop into Foodland to grab a carton of milk, it is why it takes her an hour to get out of the store. #barossa #gawler #midwife
17.01.2022 'The warm summer of 2018 plays to Penfolds’ mandate for RWT to be ‘opulent, fleshy, aromatic and plush’ (by contrast to the Grange aspiration of ‘muscular and assertive’), making this a very easy wine to blend for the Penfolds team. ‘Such was the calibre of our A2 grade Shiraz the core of RWT and St Henri that we almost nailed the blend right from the outset during classification!’ Peter Gago revealed. And opulent it is, a deep well of magnificent, sweet, ripe black fruit...s of enticingly glossy appeal, painted in rich strokes of French oak dark and milk chocolate, underlined by polished, firm fine tannins that draw the finish out long, full and strong. A quintessential RWT for the medium-term, guaranteed to turn heads and win hearts.'

15.01.2022 "From the coolest slope of the Pewsey Vale vineyard, planted in 1965 at 440-490m altitude. Six years marks a magic moment in the evolution of Contours, with a silky, waxy seamlessness uniting tense lemon, lime and youthful Linden blossom with the wonderfully spicy, toasty allure of maturity. Vibrancy of colour and flavour declares that its grand journey is only just beginning. For all it represents, this is sensational value for money." As reviewed by expert wine writer Tyson...

04.01.2022 BLOOD OF THE MATRIARCH Recipe by Geoffrey Hunt of Three75 bar + Kitchen Spring in the Barossa is a great time to drink darker spirit-based cocktails it’s warming up, but still a little chilly and blustery of an evening. Barossa Semillon is my favourite white to drink at this time of year, bright fresh flavours of Summer, but broader, richer texture for those cool nights. We save quinces from our garden in Winter and make them into syrup, that delicate floral character and... the slight bitterness from the citrus pair beautifully. Shaken together and served straight up or on the rocks, this cocktail captures the Barossa Spring perfectly. I’ve named this cocktail in honour of someone I consider to be of significant import in the Barossa, and who’s well known for (allegedly) having Semillon for blood. #barossa #cocktail #recipe See more

03.01.2022 "Benchmark, varietal Cabernet of enduring potential was hard to come by in 2019 in the Barossa. Hentley Farm has bottled an exact replica of textbook blackcurrant, quintessential cassis, wonderful violet lift and rose hip intrigue. Masterfully crafted, powder-fine tannins fuse with bright acidity to carry a finish undeviating line and length."

02.01.2022 I have always been a huge believer in the Barossa Vintage Festival. Sitting on the side of Barossa Valley Way as a 5 year old, in awe as the parade floats went by. Attending events with friends in my early 20's. And as a father, now sharing this wonderful community event with my children. I also find myself now in a position to help celebrate this 5-day event and everything it offers as a proud Presenting Partner.... Whether you're a local or visitor to our region, this event gives us all the opportunity to celebrate the Barossa way of life. I look forward to seeing you all there come April 2021.
