25.01.2022 , - Semillon hails from the French region of Bordeaux where it is grown alongside the more popular Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle. Whilst today, in France, it isn't really fashionable as a single varietal, it commonly plays a minor role blended in dry table wines or, more significantly, is coveted as a dominant contributor to sublime dessert wines. Indeed, Botrytis-affected Semillon, blended with small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle, produce the most famous, and expensive of Sauternes, being Château d'Yquem. It commands close to $1,000.00 for a bottle. Continue reading here: https://travisschultz.com.au//semillon-versatile-vivaciou/

20.01.2022 : ‘’ My visceral dislike of Marlborough sauvignon blanc is hardly a tightly guarded secret; and yes, I did once describe it as one-dimensional cat-piss briefly soaked in lemon zest but that was in reference to the Oyster Bay offering that is the biggest selling sauvignon blanc in the country. It’s a style that is as popular as a bottle shop in a lockdown and sadly, Australians have for too long been sold the Emperor’s ...new clothes with the Marlborough marketing machines pushing out pallets of gooseberry flavoured cordial leanly laced with lashings of lime. I get that it’s an approachable style that is zippy and light, but to my palate, it has all the complexity of an unsophisticated amoeboid.

18.01.2022 Wine, Women and Cellarbration With International Women’s Day being celebrated yesterday, it seemed appropriate to pen an article shining a light on the success of Australia’s women of wine. Read more here:... https://travisschultz.com.au/wine-women-and-cellarbration/ See more

16.01.2022 As state and federal governments begin their push to encourage all of us to holiday domestically this year, there’s probably no better time to visit Queensland’s far north but if a cooler climate, fresh air and a world-class wine trail are high in your list of priorities, look no further than the pristine beauty of Tasmania’s Tamar Valley.

16.01.2022 ’ The Australian Wine industry is recognised and valued globally for the remarkable character of our wines. Here, at home, we also recognise the characters who produce a ‘good drop’; the early pioneers, the industry stalwarts, the entrepreneurial winemakers and the lovable larrikins who ’do it their own way’.

15.01.2022 The odd couple red wine and vegetarianism Research suggests that there are about half a billion vegetarians on the planet and that number is on the rise; a fringe movement is becoming mainstream due to a focus on health, animal welfare and climate change or so they say.

05.01.2022 Wilyabrup; the Rock Star sub-region of the Margaret River! It’s the most planted grape varietal in the world and despite its European origins, Australian cabernet sauvignon is widely regarded as being as good as just about any on the planet. From the white pepper jubiness of the Coonawarra to the more robust styles from Padthaway, the Limestone Coast in south eastern South Australia earns international acclaim for the quality of the cabernet it offers. But if you prefer them perfumed and elegant rather than the tannic and bold, there’s no happier hunting ground than Western Australia’s Margaret River region. Picture Getty Images Wilyabrup Bluff

04.01.2022 If you were to ask a bunch of wine gurus (self-proclaimed or otherwise) where you’ll find the world’s best Chardonnay, I’m guessing that at least eight out of ten will tell you that you’d need to travel to Burgundy in France and visit a sub-region like Chablis or Côte de Beaune. Others may well say it’s the AOC of Montrachet or somewhere within the Côte-d’Or in north-eastern France. But one thing is for sure; few would put on their list an Australian district least of all one within the high country in New South Wales.

02.01.2022 -, ’ ’ ! It goes without saying that 2020 has landed a cruel blow to many Australian households and small businesses. Almost three decades since our last recession, and this one comes wrapped with a 4.3% drop in wages, unemployment rates of 8% and now a decline in property values that some pundits predict could be as high as 10%. So, while we’re in this financial slump, if the old adage of ‘put your money in bricks and mortar’ doesn’t quite appeal for those looking to invest in something with a better return than the current 0.3% interest rates being so generously offered by the big banks, it seems that there may be an unlikely saviour in providing a sure-fire investment opportunity that may be immune from a global pandemic-induced economic shockwave?
