Another wow moment on the tasting panel with all of us giving this wine 97 points. We were very fortunate to pick up an allocation of 240 bottles! This is heavy yet bright and crunchy with high acidity and oodles of red and black fruits melding with blackstrap. Fine tannins and a very long life ahead.

Fruit is sourced from Chalk Hill’s heritage vineyards. The soil comprises washed sand over clay, which limits vine vigor and hence reduces the number of grapes on each vine. Concentration and intensity are exceptional. A stunning wine replete with a superb intensity of fruit and great structure.

This might seem like a strange one, but I can honestly say that this combo really works. Usually, when you think of burgers you lean towards a beer, or even a nice glass of red. The freshness of the apple, spice coming through from the tomato jam, and the addition of pork had me leaning towards a Riesling.
This is our go to dinner in my home. If you haven’t had beef cheeks then you are missing out! Granted this recipe takes a little time to make but the beauty of it is it freezes AWESOMELY.

Moroccan flavours are some of my favourite. Generally, in common with Italian, Indian and many other cuisines, the food choices depend on what's local, in season and cheap. Moroccan food for me has the perfect blend of exciting spices and aromas, fresh herbs and accompaniments and the permission to make food organically sweet.
