6 x Schild Estate 2021 Ben Schild Barossa Valley Shiraz

Some auction wins this week:
1 x 2013 Noon Twelve Hundred Hours Cabernet Sauvignon
2 x 2009 Rogues Lane Shiraz
2 x 2021 Wood Park Reserve Zinfandel

Got to try the 2024 Penfolds Special Shiraz released this year.
Retails for $74.
It has a portion of 2022 Grange in it, maybe 3% to 5%.
First release, so it might or might not turn out to be a one-off.
Cork was crumbly, but the wine was OK. Actually better than that.
A step up from the Bin 28 I am guessing.

2 x Agricola Vintners K Sands Shiraz 2025

Passing through Hong Kong every month I pick up some tax free vino ( and better if I know the distributor ) and today a six pack of 2021 Cappellano Barolo Rupestris.

Learning about Fiano. Nice interesting grape.

3 x Shingleback NX Gen Fiano
3 x Chapel Hill The Parson Fiano. Label says grapes are from "Adelaide"

Mount Mary time. Anyone grabbing some wines?

I got a mixed 6 of Agricola (the 3 continuous labels), then saw the reviews and went back for 3 more of the Seeliger Shiraz.

Cheers Ed

Mixed Agricola. Excited to try the wines from the old Steinert vineyard.

Some bargain Italians at auction after driving up prices of some Piedmont wines, I snuck in under the radar and pipped a few Chiantis.

Grabbed some Mount Mary wines.

Also grabbed a few Fighting Gully Road Chardonnay, a small sample from the latest Bindi release and a Chatto Isle Pinot to give it a whirl.

Cheers, Ed
