  1. Schmolzer & Brown Pret A Blanc 2022
    Schmolzer & Brown Pret A Blanc 2022

    And the kitchen sink… pinot gris, sauvignon blanc, riesling and sylvaner from King Valley all blended up nice ‘n’ pretty. Judiciously, I bet too.

    Texture and freshness, summery feel and high drinkability. Kicking goals. It’s in that vein of pleasing, Schweppers Bitter Lemon soft drink territory, a gently fruitiness, sweetness, dryness, bitterness, all just so and very vibrant and refreshing. A bit of alpine herbiness in the mix too. Squeaky textured and mouth-watering as to finish. Ripper drink. MIKE BENNIE, Wine Front

     

    They say it’s based on the Austrian Gemischter Satz style of field blended dry white wine… cool.

    Tangy, fresh, lively with wafts of the exotic, something that reminds me a little of a wet season evening in our place in Darwin, it’s that mix of petrichor and tropical flowers like wild ginger and lemongrass. Really quite a lot going on aromatically as the parts vie for prime position. Some stone/pome fruit and herbal elements as well. Keeps you excited. The palate is sizzling, so tasty, with a burst of fruitfulness that tilts its head towards texturally rich while remaining oh so bright and clear. Really long. Thirst slacking stuff but also makes you want to drink more. I can tell you for experience this is not a one glass kind of wine. I would love to see how it evolves in the bottle but, as I mentioned earlier, I am already out of stock in my stash. Great stuff. Drinking it will make you a happier person. It couldn’t be any more joyful if the Dalai Lama himself had made it using the tears of unicorns and fermented it in gold encrusted tanks lined with rubies found at the end of a rainbow ?? ROSCOE

  2. Kuen Hof Riesling 2021
    Kuen Hof Riesling 2021
    An attractive mix of ripe lemons, fresh peaches and honeysuckle with dried flowers and stony minerality. Impressive tension with medium to full body and nervy, linear acidity that cuts though the palate. Super steady and fresh. Long and crisp finish. Drink or hold. (96) JAMES SUCKLING

    From one of Italy's northernmost appellations, the 2021 Alto Adige Valle Isarco Riesling Kaiton is very true to the grape, although you might taste some of the extra roundness and fruit intensity that comes with the warmer weather that creeps up the peninsula from the Mediterranean. There is white fruit, minty apple and lychee. The wine also reveals hints of the petroleum or flinty aromas that are often attributed to Riesling. The wine sees 80% stainless steel and 20% botte for six months, and 15,000 bottles were made. Riesling is cultivated in three of the four estate's vineyards, Kuenhof, Lahner and Gasteiger.

  3. Schmolzer & Brown Pret A Blanc 2023
    Schmolzer & Brown Pret A Blanc 2023

    Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Sylvaner and Riesling.

    It’s painted in shades of green and yellow. Citrus, lemongrass, jasmine, Nashi pear, raw almond, parsley root, ground cucumber. Refreshing is its second name. Briny-chalky juice with a long flavour tail of yellow grapefruit, river stones and white pepper bite. Light and acidic and with an interesting sour-umami structure. I must add, SB stands tallest here. Lovely, graceful drop. KASIA SOBIESIAK, The Wine Front
