    Adelaide Hills’ Best Pinot Noir

    The Adelaide Hills is an outlier when compared to other South Australian wine regions. With its mosaic of elevations, aspects, and soil types, it’s also a region that defies quick-and-easy categorisations. How pinot noir came to be the region’s red wine calling card is a story of vinous rebirth, investment from the establishment, and a group of determined young winemakers ready to rattle some cages – which is why we felt a Deep Dive into its pinot noirs was called for.

    Tasmania’s Best Pinot Noir

    Tasmania’s cool-climate pinot noirs have been hot property in Australia’s wine scene for some time now, with demand recently reaching a fever pitch. While the island’s potential for pinot noir was at first mostly explored through the lens of sparkling wine, in the last decade and a half winegrowers and makers have arrived at the island in droves for its potential to create world-class red wines from pinot. Australian wine drinkers have gotten the memo, too, and have created a robust market for pinot noirs from the Apple Isle. With so much interest in the topic, we thought a Deep Dive was called for.

    Australia’s Best Alternative Sauvignon Blanc

    There are few varieties that are as adored and reviled as sauvignon blanc. From varying degrees of oak, both old and new, to employing skin contact, a little or a whole lot, Australian sauvignon blanc is not easy to categorise, with the sheer diversity of styles taking an alternative approach dazzling in its scope and quite thrilling for its quality. With the landscape having changed radically since our last look at the topic, we felt that another Deep Dive into the subject was required.

    Australia’s Best Rosé

    With summer unfurling before us, it’s an apt time to cast our eyes across the Australian pink wine landscape. And when we say pink, the Pantone swatch book of rosé veers from the pale and coppery to the distinctly ruddy, and from a range of varieties that could include… well, anything. We gathered every Australian rosé that we could find and set our expert panel the task of finding the wines that compelled the most.

    Australia’s Best Vermouth

    The vermouth revolution is less than a decade old and growing pace, with an ever-increasing selection of local examples challenging perceptions of what vermouth can and should be.

    Australia’s Best Tempranillo

    Tempranillo is unarguably Spain’s most recognisable variety, forming the bedrock of that country’s most famous red wines. It is also a grape that has seen explosive global growth, with more tempranillo planted since 2000 than any other variety. In Australia, it has made a modest but meaningful mark, but the potential for the grape is exponentially bigger. Three years after our inaugural Deep Dive into Tempranillo, it’s an apt time to again cast our eyes across the landscape.
