23.01.2022 2015 Grosset Rieslings - superb as usual! Jeffery Grosset's obsession with expressing variety and place, and meticulous attention to detail in vineyard and winery have again resulted in magnificent 2015 rieslings. The 2015 vintage experienced its earliest picking date in 35 years after a cool, mild summer. This has resulted in a pair of beautifully dry , intensely flavoured wines with steely acidity and unmatched balance. They will live for a long long time. Grosset Springval...e Riesling - rated 95/100 "A bobby dazzler of a wine. Soft and easy going but strung with tense flavour from the back palate onwards" Grosset Polish Hill Riesling - rated 97/100 "It's purity personified, a particularly intense portrayal of lemon & lime flavours. It has power, it has length, and it is pristine" See more

GIANT STEPS CHIEF WINEMAKER, STEVE FLAMSTEED, NAMED GOURMET TRAVELLER WINES WINEMAKER OF THE YEAR 2016... & GIANT STEPS NAMED ONE OF WINE & SPIRITS (US) WINERIES OF THE YEAR 2016 Its been a big 24 hours. For the fourth year in row, Giant Steps, in Victorias Yarra Valley, has been heralded as one of Wine & Spirits Wineries of the Year and is one of only four Australian wineries to be included among the Top 100 list along with Timo Mayer, Ochota Barrels, Henschke and Grosset. Giant Steps is the only Australian winery to have been included in the prestigious list for four years running. Wine & Spirits (US) is one of the worlds leading food, wine and spirits magazines. The Wine & Spirits Top 100 honours wineries from around the world that have delivered the best overall performance in W&S tastings throughout the year. Hot on the heels of this news, Giant Steps Chief Winemaker Steve Flamsteed was last night named Gourmet Traveller Wine Winemaker of the Year. Gourmet Traveller Wine initiated this prestigious award to celebrate the most talented winemakers in the land. Previous winners of this award include double Jimmy Watson winning winemaker Stephen Pannell, Vanya Cullen, Stephen and Prue Henschke, and Philip Shaw. Whilst Steves talent as a winemaker is well known, his first qualification was in food, completing a four-year chefs apprenticeship in Brisbane in the mid 1980s before travelling extensively in Europe, paying his way chefing in small cafes, ski lodges and a 12-month stint at the St James Club, London. Whilst travelling in France, Steve developed a number of culinary passions including cheese making, which would see him later return to France on a Queens Trust Scholarship to study this craft. However, it was after working at Chateau du Bluizard in the Beaujolais region that Steve was inspired to become a winemaker. On On returning to Australia, Steve enrolled in the winemaking course at Roseworthy Agricultural College, graduating with a Bachelor of Science (Wine Science) in 1993, whilst at the same time supporting his studies working as a chef with Maggie Beer at her Pheasant Farm Restaurant in the Barossa Valley. As a winemaker, Steve has worked with Leeuwin Estate, Margaret River, WA (1999 2002) and the Hardy Wine Company at their Yarra Burn Winery in the Yarra Valley (2002 2003). Steve joined Giant Steps in 2003 and has been instrumental in building its reputation as a globally respected producer of cool climate Chardonnay, Pinot Noir & Syrah. Recently, Giant Steps sold its Innocent Bystander brand to Brown Brothers to focus and concentrate on further developing its vineyards and transitioning the winery and cellar door to be the spiritual and winemaking home for Giant Steps.
21.01.2022 Day two is here!
20.01.2022 Welcome to 2016 - all of us at Inland Trading are looking forward to a wonderful and exciting year with a great line up of new vintage wines (yeah!) Something to think about is The 2014 Clonakilla ORiada Shiraz. The ORiada is a classic Canberra District Shiraz. It is a perfect wine to introduce people to this exciting new style Aus Shiraz.... The critics have given it a big thumbs up: This has class stamped all over ita sparkling river of dark fruits that run from the tip of the tongue through to the elegant, but oh so complex, finish and aftertaste. Exhilarating. James Halliday Canberra region magic. Black pepper, dark fruit, lavender, exotic spice with superfine texture and superb tannin balance. Ralph Kyte-Powell The bouquet is complex and spicy supple and savoury, gentle in mouth-feel and finely balanced, with a long and satisfying aftertaste. Huon Hooke

17.01.2022 Increasingly, winemakers around Australia are identifying distinctive blocks or parcels of pinot noir fruit in their vineyards. Gourmet Traveller expert wine panel tasted a range of wines, many displaying wonderful intensity, balance and length of flavour.....some reviews below: 2014 Giant Steps Applejack Vineyard (Yarra Valley) Shows a sappy whole-bunch characters that add perfume and complexity to redcurrant, beetroot and rhubarb aromas. The palate is supple, juicy and elegant. Delicious. "This wine is a classic example of the maker's fine, fragrant style"
16.01.2022 Peach, mineral & light youth. A perfect Wednesday drop @kirkswinebar
14.01.2022 Think it must be time to start looking around for some top Australian Reds to top back your cellar after your winter drinks! 2013 Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz - 95 points "Ripe, generous, clean and beautifully turned- out. The bouquet is loaded with chocolate, dried herb and dark fruit aromas; the palate is rich, soft and rounded, full bodied and smoothly textured. A delicious wine!"... 2013 Tenser Albert Shiraz - 93 points "A whopping red; very big, dense and oaky. The cloud is dense red purple-black; the bouquet scented with mocha, rum and raisin chocolate fruitcake. This wine demands patience - so lock away for a while in your cellar "
13.01.2022 Huge Congratulations to Kilikanoon "Kilikanoons Oracle Shiraz has taken home the Trophy for the best Shiraz at this years International Wine and Spirit Competition (IWSC). Competing against hundreds of entries which were narrowed down to 22 Gold Outstanding medal winners from countries around the globe; including France, Portugal, Australia, South Africa and China, the international Shiraz Trophy was awarded to the 2014 Oracle Shiraz.... The judging panel is comprised of over 400 global experts, with the judging process spanning seven months. Gold Outstanding is awarded to wines demonstrating quality of the highest order. These wines undergo a rigorous two-stage judging process using the double blind method to compete for national, regional and international trophies. Masterfully composed from carefully selected estate-owned Clare Valley vineyards, Managing Director Warrick Duthy said Lightning can strike in the same place three times. It is the third time this prestigious marque has been recognised as the best Shiraz in an international wine show, previously for the 2001 and 2005 vintages. Oracle also appeared in Langtons Classification VII and has twice been selected by Emirates Airlines for First Class. The nose captures the alluring aromas of dark chocolate, exotic spices and French oak char. This is a wine of tremendous concentration, complexity and understated elegance. The palate brims with riper plum fruits, dark chocolate and tar nicely paired with classy French oak and polished tannins that carry over in the mouth well after the wine has been consumed. A wine made for the ages, Chief Winemaker Kevin Mitchell said. 2014 was a cooler and more protracted vintage in the Clare Valley, allowing the Shiraz blocks along the west face of the Golden Hillsides in the Watervale sub-appellation of Clare to ripen more slowly, bringing all parcels to their very optimum levels of maturity, Mitchell said. The 2014 vintage Oracle also received a Platinum Medal and 97 points at Londons Decanter World Wine Awards earlier this year. Kilikanoons 2016 vintages of Morts Reserve Riesling and Killermans Run GSM were also awarded Gold medals by the IWSC international judging panel. This result demonstrates the diversity of Clare Valley terroir as well as Kilikanoons uncompromised commitment to excellence. Kilikanoon has been awarded Australian Winery of the Year four times in the past eight years; by James Halliday in 2013 and Mundus Vini of Germany in 2010, 2017 and 2018."

09.01.2022 A delightful day spent at Clonakilla Wines with Tim Kirk and Ben Cheung from Watsons Wines, Hong Kong .
09.01.2022 Great champagne serving tips from Tyson Stelzer in the December/January 2016 Issue of Halliday Wine Companion Magazine. Remember to try and serve your champagne at 8-10 degrees for non vintage and rose styles, and 10-12 degrees for vintage and prestige wines. Pop those bottles and enjoy !
09.01.2022 Some amazing reviews in the Halliday 2015 Festive Wine Guide Dec/Jan 2016. Teusner Wines received 95 points for both The Albert 2012 ("Blue, black and red berry notes join to form a powerful chorus of flavour") And The Avatar 2013 ("Spiced plum, blackberry, and a contrasting nuance o savoury/earthy notes"). These two wines are well suited for the upcoming festive season, a perfect wine for the Christmas dinner table !!
07.01.2022 Riesling's uncanny knack of expressing the character of a place, along with its intriguing ability to develop complexity with age, makes for outstanding tastings - and one Riesling is thriving in the nation's cooler region - the 2015 Clonakilla Riesling "94 points , the 2015 Clonakilla Riesling has a delicate , perfumed aroma of white flowers and underlying citrus. The palate is very find and taut with a hint of sweetness to balance its crisp acidity. High toned palate with zest and spice and a long finish."

02.01.2022 One of Australia's top winemakers, Clonakilla's Tim Kirk, couldn't resist the pull to produce pinot noir.......with encouragement from his friends, Tim has been steadily enchanted by pinot noir. Clonakilla has just released its first commercial batch of pinot noir from the 2014 vintage. "The nose has a whiff of musky whole bunch perfume and freshly baked pastry combined with a burst of cherries, poached strawberries and background spice - the fragrance is alluring and exuberant. The palate delivers lithe and juicy tannins that carry crunchy pink and red fruit flavours, acidity is a definitive feature and the depth is convincing"
02.01.2022 Coastal Cabernets - Gourmet Traveller Wine Expert Judging panel universally appreciated the Majella The Malleea 2010 - declared the wine " a top performer" "Intense and impressive dark berry, dark chocolate and panforte aromas with fragrant herb notes. Sweet fruit, dark chocolate, fine grainy textures and chin otto notes. Powerful concentration and excellent structure. Enjoy now, but the wine's destiny is to gain further complexity over at least ten years."
