In this episode of The Vint Podcast, host Billy Galanko sits down with Stephen and Prue Henschke of Henschke Wines—one of the most iconic family-run wineries in the world.This in-depth conversation covers the legacy of the Hill of Grace vineyard, the role of old vines in shaping wine texture and complexity, and the unique terroir of Eden Valley. Prue shares her insights as viticulturist, including the nuances of managing vines over 150 years old, the effects of soil and canopy management, and the importance of preserving vine genetics. Stephen discusses their restrained and precise winemaking approach, including the use of submerged cap fermentation and minimal oak influence to highlight site expression.Topics explored include:The history of Henschke and the sixth-generation legacyThe significance of old vines and the Barossa Old Vine CharterHow Eden Valley's altitude and soils shape their Riesling and ShirazA technical breakdown of Mount Edelstone, Hill of Grace, and Wheelwright vineyardsReflections on sustainability, native cover crops, and dry farmingThe story behind experimental bottlings like Hill of Roses, Nebbiolo, and TempranilloPerspectives on global brand prestige and Australian wine's evolving reputationWhether you're a collector, sommelier, or student of wine, this episode offers a rare window into one of Australia's most revered producers and their uncompromising commitment to place, tradition, and innovation.
In this episode of Five Questions with a Winemaker, presented by the Vint Marketplace, we sit down with Stephen and Prue Henschke, sixth-generation vintners of Henschke Wines—one of Australia's most revered estates. From Eden Valley Riesling to the legendary Hill of Grace Shiraz, the Henschkes have helped define fine wine in Australia.Stephen and Prue share:
...in which we are joined by Gavin Capstick, new chief executive of the Lake District National Park Authority, for a wide-ranging chat about the state of the Park and his ambitions for its future. Ascending out of Tebay onto the Howgills, we learn about Gavin's Eden Valley upbringing and his first interactions with the Lake District – playing youth football – before a local government career led him to the Park Authority. Arriving at a stock exclosure fence with emerging woodland, we talk about the balance the Park must try and strike between farming and nature; between locals and tourists; between conservation and development. Dropping to the Lune – and a fabulous riverside path below the M6 – Gavin defines 'low impact tourism', notes the 40% real-time reduction in government funding over the past decade; outlines the pressure placed on new honeypots by social media influencers, and describes the highs (ice cream) and lows (rain) of being a Wainwright-bagging family. Turning to knottier issues, we discuss 4x4s on green lanes; a new partnership between Save Windermere and Love Windermere; how private car use in the Park might be reduced, the strange silence of Covid lockdowns... and why Rory Delap is Gavin's Cumbrian hero.

This show features an overview of an essential place in the wine world: South Australia. There is much to learn here but I try to break it down into what is important to know. The show is somewhat heavy on history, since that is an essential part of why South Australia is important today. South Australia is an Australian state located in the central south of the continent that refers to itself as Australia's “Wine State”, and rightfully so: it produces 50% of all bottled wine and about 80% of the country's premium wine. Most large wine companies (8 of the 13 continuously operating wine companies in Australia are here), many small wineries and almost all the official wine trade organizations, including Wine Australia, the government body responsible for regulating and promoting Australian wine, and the Australian Wine Research Institute (AWRI), which plays a crucial role in wine research, are based in South Australia. South Australia consists of 18 regions, and although I address most of them, I also point out that there are a handful that are essential to truly knowing about South Australia: Barossa, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills, Coonawarra, and McLaren Vale. Map: Wine Australia This is a bit of a whirlwind show, but hopefully it gives you a flavor for this famed, and essential corner of the wine world. My hope is that heard one or two things I said that you may not have known and that you seek out those wines. Australia is under appreciated in the US, especially, and when you get a good one, it is usually unbelievably good! Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

I start by asking for a big favor!! I haven't asked in about 10 years – but if you get a moment, could you drop a positive review for WFNP on iTunes, or a good rating on Spotify, or tell a friend who you think would like the show? Thank you in advance! This show is part of the effort to refresh the WFNP catalog, based on the ideas of Patron Chris C, who did a ton of work to help me come up with a list of things he thought I could re-do, given that it's been 14 years since I covered some of this stuff. If you have any ideas, please drop a DM on Patreon or send me ideas through the site! This show has my recommendations for filling a case of wine with classics from around the world. These wines will give you a great idea of what these regions represent and why they are so famed. Even for experienced wine drinkers, I think it's good to go back to the basics and try stuff you haven't had in a while to remind ourselves why they are so good! The list contains 12 still wines (no sparkling or fortified this time!), whites, reds, and one rosé. The wines are: Whites: White Burgundy, which is Chardonnay. I recommend the wine especially from the Hautes Côtes de Beaune or Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Côte d'Or Blanc, or Chablis 2. New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc – with a twist. Look for wines from the Awatere or Wairau Valleys. 3. German Riesling from the Mosel (for off-dry wines) or Rheingau. I also mention Pfalz for great dry wines. 4. Portuguese Alvarinho – Vinho Verde, specifically from sub-regions of Monção and Melgaço Rosé 5. Tavel from the Rhône Reds 6. Bordeaux – especially from the Médoc or Côtes de Bordeaux for Merlot-driven wines (Pomerol and St. Émilion) and for bolder, more ageworthy wines with more Cabernet -- Haut-Médoc or Saint-Estèphe or for spendier versions – Graves, Margaux, Saint Julien, Pauillac 7. Rioja from Spain 8. Italian reds either Chianti Classico (have food with it!) or Roero/Langhe Nebbiolo/Nebbiolo d'Alba/Barbaresco 9. California – Santa Barbara County Pinot Noir (or more specifically Santa Maria Valley or Sta. Rita Hills) 10. Barossa Valley Shiraz (take another look if you haven't in a while!). For more restraint, you can look for Shiraz from Eden Valley, a sub region of the Barossa Valley 11. Chilean Cabernet Sauvignon, especially Maipo Andes/ Alto Maipo is best, due to the higher altitude in this area 12. Argentinean Malbec, more specifically from Gualtallary, Tupungato, Altamira or, more generally the Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo Full show notes and all back episodes are on Patreon.

Tonight, our blind-tasting duo explore uncharted wine, at least for the show. Shiraz is the most planted and #1 grape from Australia. Shiraz is the same grape and wine as Syrah, but for some reason, Australia and South Africa call it Shiraz. It is a big, bold, full-body wine with high levels of tannin and acid. Because of the tannins, it is normally oaked and is a great pair with red meats.In France, Syrah is a single variety wine from the northern Rhone Valley, and is popular in the southern Rhone where it is part of the GSM blend wines. GSM stands for Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre.Syrah is also a popular grape grown in the US, mostly in the State of Washington and California. Some of the most popular Shiraz regions of Australia include Barossa Valley, Eden Valley, Clare Valley, Heathcote, Hunter Valley, McLaren Vale, Yarra Valley, Grampians, and Adelaide Hills.While Syrah and Shiraz wines will have many similarities, they will also have some differences. Syrah wines from France, Chile and Washington (State) are more of a cooler climate wine. Australian Shiraz and California, Spain, Italy, and Argentina Syrah are warm-weather wines. Syrah from cooler climates will be lighter in body, with more earthiness and floral notes. Warm weather Syrah/Shiraz will be fruit forward full-body higher alcohol wines. Tonight, we taste: 2021 Yalumba Barossa Shiraz. I purchased this wine at Wall to Wall Wine for $19.99. It comes from the Barossa Valley, Australia. It is plump and fruity, with lucid aromas of black cherry, plum, mint and ground pepper. A full body gentle frame of spicy tannins frames everything, and a nice level of acidity helps wash it all down. Winery is Vegan and started in 1849. 2019 Greg Norman, Limestone Coast Shiraz, $15.50 at Wall to Wall Wine. This wine comes from Coonawarra, McClaren Flat, Argentina. Nose: Bright aromas of ripe black and blue fruits, spice notes. Palate: Medium to full-bodied. Cola, black cherry, mixed berry jam and cloves. Other notes: plum and cherry. Peppercorn, mint, oak. Firm structure and balanced acidity. Area is known for having poor well draining soils. 2022 Yellow Tail Shiraz purchased at Walmart for $5.99. Rich and smooth, with juicy red berries and hints of vanilla and spice. Hints of mocha. Bold and smooth. South Eastern Australia includes all of Victoria and parts of South Australia and New South Wales. Next week The wines we will taste include: 2022 Bourgonge – Maconaise – Macon Villages. This is a Burgundy white made from the Chardonnay grape. Purchased from Costco for $12.79. 2022 Porta 6 Red from Lisbon Region of Portugal. Purchased at Trader Joes for $4.99. 2022 Ruggero Di Bardo from Puglia, Italy. Purchased at Trader Joes for $9.99.
A woman who needs no introduction, Prue chats to Jill Upton and Sam Isherwood about the buzz she felt when she was admitted into the James Halliday Hall of Fame in 2023, and her love of alternate varietals from Italy and Spain. Also, why she believes Grenache should be blended and not a mono varietal. Interesting stuff! @thewineshowaustralia @henschkewines
This episode is the second half of our interview with Elena Brooks, the winemaker for Dandelion, Sister's Run, and Heirloom Vineyards. Part 1 tells the story of Elena's upbringing in communist Bulgaria and how she moved to Australia and started her own wine label in her early twenties. This episode, Part 2, covers Elena's ambition with Dandelion, the challenges and opportunities that exist today within the Australian wine scene, and the region Elena believes should have ‘Grand Cru' status. At the time she started Dandelion, the trend in Australia was big, bold red wines. Elena launched Dandelion to tell a new story, one of acid and tannin and aroma over fruit and alcohol alone. She was also trying to tell the story of place and regional diversity, which she believes is paramount if Australia wants to compete globally. While Australian wine today faces plenty of challenges, Elena's perspective is one of gratitude to be making history, writing the playbook for Australian wines alongside an incredibly talented cohort of peers in the industry. Changing the narrative has always been Elena's drive. When she started Dandelion 17 years ago, she had one lofty mission: to change peoples' palates. 01:19 Boutique Wines and Changing Palates 01:50 Wine as a Storytelling Medium 03:05 Food and Wine Culture 05:14 The Aspirational Journey of Wine 09:18 Exploring Unique Vineyards 14:37 Eden Valley's Signature Riesling 17:49 Challenges in the Australian Wine Industry 20:16 Opportunities in the Australian Wine Industry 21:03 Trust Your Palate Hosted by Charlotte Alsaadi.

En otros episodios ya os hablé de la primera y segunda temporada de Fargo, más concrétamente en Reseña filosófica de Fargo https://luisbermejo.com/misterio-tapas-gratis-pagadas-zz-podcast-05x40/ y en EL MISTERIO DE SÍSIFO | ZZ Podcast 05×43 https://luisbermejo.com/el-misterio-de-sisifo-zz-podcast-05x43/. Hoy vamos con la tercera temporada de Fargo y su relación con el filósofo Sartre. Y es que esta serie da para mucho pensar y reflexionar. La tercera temporada de la serie “Fargo” es una fascinante exploración de la lucha entre el bien y el mal, ambientada en un contexto de traición familiar, corrupción y la búsqueda de poder. Estrenada en 2017, esta entrega continúa con la tradición de las temporadas anteriores de ofrecer una narrativa compleja, personajes multidimensionales y una atmósfera que mezcla el suspense con el humor negro característico de la serie. Argumento y Temática La tercera temporada de “Fargo” se centra en la rivalidad entre dos hermanos, Emmit y Ray Stussy, ambos interpretados por Ewan McGregor. Emmit es un exitoso hombre de negocios que se autoproclama el “Rey de los Estacionamientos de Minnesota”, mientras que Ray es un oficial de libertad condicional con mala suerte que culpa a Emmit de todos sus fracasos. La disputa entre ellos se intensifica cuando Ray intenta robar un valioso sello de Emmit, desencadenando una serie de eventos que incluyen asesinatos, engaños y un enigmático mafioso llamado V.M. Varga (interpretado por David Thewlis). Personajes Principales • Ewan McGregor como Emmit y Ray Stussy: McGregor ofrece una actuación impresionante, diferenciando claramente a los dos hermanos no solo físicamente, sino también en sus personalidades y motivaciones. • Carrie Coon como Gloria Burgle: Gloria es la jefa de policía de Eden Valley, cuya investigación la lleva a descubrir las profundidades de la corrupción y la violencia que subyacen en su comunidad. • David Thewlis como V.M. Varga: Varga es un personaje siniestro y calculador, cuya presencia introduce un elemento de desestabilización y caos en la vida de los Stussy. Estilo y Dirección Noah Hawley, el creador y guionista principal, mantiene el tono y estilo visual distintivo que ha definido a “Fargo” desde su primera temporada. La serie combina la estética del cine noir con una paleta de colores fría y una cinematografía meticulosa que resalta la desolación y el aislamiento del paisaje de Minnesota. La narrativa no lineal y el uso de simbolismos y metáforas añaden profundidad a la trama, ofreciendo al espectador múltiples capas de interpretación. Temas y Motivos Recurrentes • Dualidad y Contraste: La relación entre Emmit y Ray ejemplifica la dualidad entre éxito y fracaso, virtud y vicio. Este tema se refleja también en la dualidad moral de otros personajes y en las decisiones que enfrentan. • El Azar y el Destino: Al igual que en las temporadas anteriores, el azar juega un papel crucial en la trama, subrayando la imprevisibilidad de la vida y las consecuencias inesperadas de las acciones. • La Corrupción y la Moralidad: La temporada explora cómo la corrupción se infiltra en las instituciones y en las vidas personales, cuestionando la moralidad de los personajes y sus motivaciones. Recepción Crítica La tercera temporada de “Fargo” fue recibida con elogios por su guion inteligente, actuaciones sobresalientes y su capacidad para mantener la frescura y originalidad en una serie ya establecida. Las actuaciones de McGregor, Coon y Thewlis fueron particularmente destacadas, y la serie fue nominada a varios premios, incluidos los Premios Primetime Emmy y los Globos de Oro. Conclusión En resumen, la tercera temporada de “Fargo” continúa la racha de excelencia de la serie, ofreciendo una narrativa envolvente y personajes complejos que exploran temas universales a través de una lente única. La combinación de humor negro, suspense y un análisis profundo de la naturaleza humana hace que esta temporada sea un digno sucesor de las anteriores y una adición valiosa al legado de la serie.

Es scheint so, als wäre Moritz-Christian Brand mit einem zusätzlichen Glückschromosom in seiner DNA geboren worden. Aber weit gefehlt. Jede Station seiner beispielslosen Karriere hat er sich mit ganz viel Fleiß, Schaffenskraft, Engagement, Geduld, Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Loyalität, Gerechtigkeit, Respekt und der immer noch vorhandenen, so beneidenswerten Neugier, Lebendigkeit und Lebensfreude komplett selbst erarbeitet. Es scheint fast spielerisch, wie er mittlerweile zusammen mit seiner Frau ein 70-Betten-Hotel managt und so fast nebenher eine der interessantesten Weinkarten unserer Republik wachsen und wachsen lässt. Erstaunlich, wie er Wein im Herzen trägt und dieses nicht als Heiligtum, auch nicht als Mittel zum Zweck, sondern als Lebensbereicherung für sich und seine Gäste sieht. Er ist einer der Sommeliers, von denen sich viele Generationen über und unter ihm sehr viel abschauen können und sei es nur die Fröhlichkeit und die Höflichkeit. Er ist – neben dessen, dass er ein großartiger Fachmann ist – einer der Menschen, der das Leben anderer bereichert und bei dem man sich einfach freuen darf, dass man ihn um sich hat, denn er steckt an.

The agri-food company Moy Park, which supplies chickens throughout the UK and Europe, has breached environmental laws on more than 500 occasions without facing prosecution. A BBC Spotlight investigation into water pollution uncovered the breaches at three different sites in Northern Ireland - including Lough Neagh.Holidaymakers and walkers in Scotland are being warned not to light camp fires. Last year, a wild-fire tore through forestry at Cannich, south of Inverness. It burned for two weeks on the surface and even more damage was caused underground, as peat burnt beneath the soil. The commercial forest is now being felled, 20 years earlier than expected, and has lost 60 percent of its value. The fire also had a serious impact on the RSPB Scotland nature reserve, at Corrimony. As the election campaign continues, and politicians travel around the UK to drum up support, on Farming Today we've asked our correspondents this week to explain what the agricultural sector is looking for. Agriculture is devolved, so policies are drawn up separately in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England. Today we discuss what farmers are looking for in England.We're looking at pollinators all week: over the past ten years, honey bees have become an integral part of the way the 75,000 acre Lowther Estate in Cumbria is managed, with around 500 colonies producing between 12 and 15 tonnes of Lake District honey every year. As well as its home hives, the estate also sends out around 200 bee colonies to other local landowners, which feed from and pollinate arable crops throughout the Eden Valley. Cumbria's only producers of rapeseed oil, farmers Ben and Jannike Taylor, are accommodating some of the Lowther bees this spring.Presenter = Anna Hill Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Today's episod is with Louis Schofield from Worlds Apart Wines based in Adelaide Hills, Australia. Louis is a jack-of-all trades wine industry legend who spent a decade working in fine wine retail and dining, including at the acclaimed Orana and East End Cellars. He was content in that world, until he met one of his biggest mentors, the late Taras Ochota of Ochota Barrels. Taras was a mover and shaker who is widely credited as having been the impetus behind South Australia's new wave. His style can be summed up as punk, boundary-pushing, minimalist, small-batch wines. Or, as Taras puts it, “I reckon you can often see the styles of music people like in the wines they make. I like edgy music, rawer, sharper, and my wines tend to be all elbows and knees sticking out." Louis met Taras when he was working at East End Cellars, and he was was quick to accept when a friend alerted him that Taras was looking for harvest workers. Seven years later, Louis is still an integral part of the Ochota Barrels production, helping Taras' wife Amber in the cellar after Taras' tragic passing in 2020. At first, Louis was reticent about starting his own label. “There were enough people making shit wine without me doing it too,” he told me. But with a bit of a nudge from Taras, Louis and his now wife, Hannah, co-founded Worlds Apart in 2017. Their wines could technically be called natural, with no additives but minimal sulfur, but they avoid rigid dogma and focus on crafting wines that are pure, vibrant, and most importantly, speak of place. They source grapes from all over South Australia, notably McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills, and Eden Valley. You're going to find verve and energy in Louis wines, a bit of texture in the whites, and lacy tannins in the focused reds. In this episode, which is part one of two, Louis and I talk about his experiences at Orana, East End Cellars, Ochota Barrels, and even that time he did a harvest in Arizona with Maynard James Keenan from Tool. We talk a lot about Taras, and the impact he and Amber continue to have on Louis' wine identity. There are some really special memories that Louis shares in here, and having never met Taras myself, I feel really lucky to have gotten to hear firsthand from someone who knew him so well. In part two, we talk a little bit more about Louis wines, and the extraordinary places that they come from, why Louis believes that “in South Australia, the path to Burgundian style winemaking is not paved with Pinot, it's paved with Grenach,” as well as his thoughts on the challenges and opportunities present within the Australian wine industry today. To start our conversation, we begin with how Louis got into winemaking in the first place. It was a circuitous route, starting with a job in music, and briefly, shed engineering… Hosted by Charlotte Alsaadi. Special thanks to SNACKTIME for the intro music!

Sharon's research for The Redwing Saga, her series of supernatural thrillers, turned up a historic link between the Watchers, Mount Hermon and Jack the Ripper.Sadly, the British Museum doesn't keep the inscription discovered by Sir Charles Warren in 1869 on display. Warren was later appointed Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, where he oversaw the unsuccessful Scotland Yard investigation into the Ripper murders of 1888.We also discuss our visits to Pendragon Castle and Glencoe, sites that figure prominently in The Redwing Saga, and you can see for yourself why the landscape of the Eden Valley and Loch Leven has so inspired Sharon's imagination.Join us in Israel!

Vintec Podcast: a wine lovers guide to collecting, cellaring and serving
The Wine Thieves are finally back with a new episode, perfect for the late summer, at least in the northern hemisphere, in which we share some cool news and information on the white wines of Australia. Many picture Australia as a warm country with beautiful beaches and great surfing, well suited to heat-loving red grapes like grenache, shiraz and mourvèdre (aka mataro) that make up the classic GSM blend, and rightfully so. But this episode looks at some lesser-know, future classic white wines. John and Sara steer clear of chardonnay, despite the many excellent examples, and concentrate instead on the new wave of eclectic and lively whites emerging across the country. Our special guests are Con-Greg Grigoriou, winemaker and partner at the Delinquente Wine Co. based in Riverland, and the legendary Louisa Rose, head winemaker for Hill-Smith Family Vineyards, which includes includes Pewsey Vale, and, most famously, Yalumba. Grigoriou has set Deliquente apart from much of the bulk production the Riverland region is better known for, by pushing boundaries and making non-conformist wines in every sense of the word from unconventional varieties like arinto, malvasia bianco, fiano, bianco d'alessano, and vermentino. Pewsey Vale, on the other hand, put Eden Valley on the world map for riesling. At the same time, Louisa has created an identity for viognier at Yalumba, the first southern hemisphere winery to produce wine from the variety in a style that Rose has been perfecting it for the last twenty years.Hot or not, wherever you may be listening in the world, this episode will leave you craving a glass of refreshing Australian white wine.
Having tried a Viognier from Australia it was only fair to give the 'Old World' of wine a chance to show their expression of the grape. This bottle blends Bourboulenc, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc but mostly Viognier to create a "fruit basket" on the nose. How does our previous Viognier bottle from Eden Valley, South Australia compare and what is this bottle missing in the opinion of a Master Sommelier? Press play on EP35 to find out! Quiz: Head to our instagram after listening and answer this question: Why is this bottle called 'Parallele 45'?

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: Magic In Adelaide 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:02:30 SA Drink Of The Week This week's SA Drink Of The Week is the 2019 Brockenchack Zipline Shiraz, ably supported by our guest taster, Glenn Malycha. As you'll hear (and see) in our tasting with Glenn Malycha from Wine Pro Australia, we learn that the winemaker behind this wine is Trevor Harch, who is a "former" Queenslander who's fallen in love with our patch of turf! 00:17:35 Barry "Baz" Seeley If I had three cups and a ball and performed a trick in which you lost track of where my ball was, I'd be performing one of the first magic tricks in history, dating back to about 3BCE. We would both know there was no "magic" going on. We'd both know I was using your senses to deceive you. But we'd all enjoy this moment of illusion. Over the history of The Adelaide Show podcast, we've chatted with illusionists, Michael Boyd and Laurence Leung, but in this episode we are sitting with an official magician of many years' standing, Barry Baz Seeley. Links and references mentioned in the podcast: We recorded in the underground home of SA's magicians: Bombshelter Magic Adelaide Magic Clubs: Australian Society of Magicians (ASM)Phil Ahrens 0438 055 188 2. International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM)Steve Burford 0402 462 881 Barry, before we get lost in the world of magic, magicians were long associated with the devil and the occult. I mention this because we're recording this episode underground in a WWII Air Raid Warden's "bomb shelter" in Adelaide and I'm worried about being made to disappear. Will there be some dark arts performed down here today? Which clubs use these clubrooms and how did they come to use them. It seems like the clubs are taking the cloak of secrecy quite literally? I was watching The Prestige with my daughters a few weeks ago and they demanded it be turned off after a scene in which the magician came off stage and had to empty the dead bird out of his magic trick equipment. We'd all thought he'd made a bird disappear. He had, but in a gruesome way in which the cage collapsed lightning fast, killing and squashing the bird out of sight. He later pulled a similar looking bird out of his pocket to release to the crowd. Do you think that was based on truth and, if so, how many birds do you go through? There was a strong focus in The Prestige on the secret craft of developing an elaborate stage trick, most of which was all based on pure mechanics. How does that still of complex magic compare with the magic you do which I've experienced first hand, in which you are up close and personal and don't have the benefit of distance to disguise what's going on? There is a murky area that lies between logic and wonder and I feel this is where your craft exists. It's why I've been talking in terms of dismissing "magic" and focussing on the art of illusion. How do you react to that? In other words, what mindset do you embrace when performing or thinking about magic? What mindset should audiences adopt to get the most out of a magic show. I'm particularly thinking of us older, jaded theatre goers. Is there something we can or should learn from children? Do you make up your own tricks? And, if so, what's the inspiration and the process? Let's talk about the discipline of being a magician. How long does it take to perfect a trick? And what are the obstacles you must overcome? Does it get boring doing the same trick many times? Is there any such thing as a new trick? What happens if you forget what you're doing when you're in the middle of a trick on stage? What happens if a card trick does not work, you've made a big thing with choosing a card and it turns out to be the wrong one Can (and do) you apply magic craft in daily life? We're going to film a trick in a moment but can you teach us a trick just through audio? And can you tell us what happens in this bunker during meetings? 01:22:19 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have Cha Ching, by Mad Dog Malcolm from the newly released album, The Adventures of Mad Dog Malcolm, The Street Fighting Cabaret Artiste. Mad Dog Malcolm is known around comedy circuits as an undefeatable street fighter who has embraced a career as a cabaret singer to lift himself out of his rut of shady deals and living on the edge. He is the alter ego of singer and comedian, Gerry Masi, who will be stealing Mad Dog's work on Saturday, August 27, 2022, at the Laugh Lounge in Adelaide. The song we're about to play is not for the faint hearted. It is dark, black satire of the fact that whenever there are terrible catastrophes, some entertainment promoters cash in and make a fortune as people try to escape the bleakness of life. So, you have been warned. Pause this now if you have kids listening or you're at work, but if you're still here, listen on and marvel at the affrontary of Mad Dog Malcolm.

Today's episode takes on the important and fascinating subject of old vineyards, some extremely old, how they got so old, how they perform and the wines they produce. Old Vines: do they produce better wine than young vines? The Wine Thieves will ask you to suspend your beliefs about old vines and the wines they produce. The conversation might very well reset your beliefs, and reshape them. Guests to the round table are two of the most qualified people to discuss the subject and are both in South Australia. The Thieves sit down with Dr. Dylan Grigg, whose doctorate philosophy, submitted to the University of Adelaide, is entitled “An investigation into the effect of grapevine age on vine performance, and grape and wine composition”. Grigg studied five shiraz vineyards in the Barossa with genetically related ‘young' and ‘old' plantings in close proximity. A study uniquely suited to South Australia The average age difference between these adjacent young and old blocks was an astonishing 97 years. To date, this represents the greatest spread of extreme of vine ages to be subjected to scientific scrutiny.John and Sara also welcome Prue Henschke, viticulturist for the renowned Henschke winery, overseeing 100ha of vines in the Eden Valley, Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, including two of Australia's most iconic vineyards, Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone. These are arguably the two oldest single vineyard wines produced in Australia today that tell the wine story of the country. The Barossa Valley in South Australia is home to some of the world's oldest producing vineyards, including some of the oldest producing vines on the planet. Phylloxera, a pest dubbed the vastatrix, or the devastator, substantially decimated European vineyards in the latter half of the 19th century and has also been present in Australia since 1877. Yet, thanks to the country's strict quarantine policy, it has remained very isolated and, to date, has not been reported in South Australia. Thus, South Australia, and the Barossa Valley, in particular, is rather unique in the world with large areas of surviving pre-phylloxera vines, some with continual production that dates back 180 years. South Australians, and The Barossa Valley as a region, have been proactive in marketing their old vines. In 2009 the ‘old vine charter' was instituted to register vineyards by age, so that older vine could be both preserved and promoted. The charter provides a guide for producers when communicating the exclusivity that the vine age presents in relation to wine production, and a yardstick for consumers seeking out the produce of these ancient vines. As some background fodder for you - the charter classifies vineyards into 4 age categories that include the BAROSSA OLD VINE (equal to or greater than 35 years of age), a BAROSSA SURVIVOR VINE (at least 70 years of age), a BAROSSA CENTENARIAN VINE (100 years old or more) and a BAROSSA ANCESTOR VINE (125 years or more).With a glass of fine shiraz in hand, Join the Wine Thieves for this perspective-changing discussion about what it means to be old.

In this show, we finally define OLD VINES with James Lindner and Leigh Woodrow of Langmeil Vineyards! The background, the history, the viticulture, and the first major definition in form of the Barossa Old Vine Charter are all covered. If you ever wondered what "old vines" really means, we have answers! Langmeil Vineyards has a long and storied history. In 1843, Christian Auricht planted a mixed farm in the heart of the Barossa Valley in Australia. In 1932 Theodor Hanisch, Christian's grandson established the first winery on the property and after a period of disrepair, in 1996, three men, who had strong roots in the Barossa - Richard Lindner, Carl Lindner and Chris Bitter - rejuvenated the vineyard and winery. Photo: Langmeil The Freedom 1843 Vineyard, Shiraz Today that same vineyard from 1843, The Freedom Vineyard, is still producing grapes for wine and Langmeil, although it makes other lovely wines from normal aged vines, has developed a specialty for caring for and making wine from old vine vineyards. Vineyards include the 70-year-old Orphan Block Vineyard These old vines wines are really something spectacular, and like nothing else you can taste. Photo: James Lindner, co-owner, chief storyteller for Langmeil In this show, I'm joined by James Lindner, sixth generation Barossan, and son of Richard Lindner, runs the family estate with his parents and brother, while overseeing its sales and distribution both domestically and around the world. He tells us the story of how these old vines got here and the current state of old vines in Barossa. Photo: Leigh Woodrow, Sales Manager for Langmeil, loyal listener and friend of the pod Leigh Woodrow, long time podcast listener, WFNP supporter, Patron, and just all around smart and cool guy is the global and national sales manager for Langmeil and he adds color to the story of Langmeil, and its old vines. A Brit who has lived in Australian now for decades and has much experience in the wine industry, Leigh is humble, kind, funny, and such a great contributor to the Patron community so we need to give a big shout to one of our tribe for bringing this great show and topic to us (Patrons, we may get a bonus on a virtual video tour of the old vines, so stay tuned for that!). The wines are available in the US and they are spectacular. And I learned a lot from this show about what LEGITIMATE old vines are versus what people may tell us they are. I hope you enjoy the show as much as I did! And hi to Bette in the Cellar door at Langmeil! Here are some of the topics we discussed: We learn about Barossa's wine history, the history of the Australian wine industry, and how Langmeil's old vines survived Map: Barossa Australia We discuss the life cycle of a grapevine and how long they can live, along with what happens to vines as they age and how the wines they make taste. We discuss what grape varieties age well and what don't and the conditions that make good vines James and Leigh talk about Langmeil's Shiraz vineyard, the oldest Shiraz vineyard in the world – the Freedom 1843 vineyard. We discuss how farming and stewardship of it is different from younger vines. James talks about a massive project Langmeil undertook to transplant old vines in its Orphan Bank Shiraz Vineyard and how the community pulled together to help make it happen. Although this isn't an ideal situation, it did help save a 70+ year old vineyard. We mention the old vine properties Langmeil has in Eden Valley, a part of Barossa, as well. James and Leigh describe the Old Vine Charter, why Barossa decided to create the Charter, and the definitions of Old Vines (35-plus years old), Survivor Vines (70-plus years old), Centenarian Vines (100-plus years old) and Ancestor Vines (125-plus years old). We discuss other regions in the world who are looking to Barossa as a model to put more definition around the term “Old Vines” Photo from Cirillo Wine Estates, the oldest Grenache vineyard We end with a good discussion of sustainability; how old vines are very sustainable for the environment and how investments in the community and the future of wine in Barossa mean that these old vines will have guardians for many generations to come. A great show with terrific guests! And we finally get some definition around a very squishy term. Thanks to James and Leigh for sharing the Langmeil story! _____________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Our new sponsor: Wine Spies!

The test with a 5% pass rate - what's involved, and is it worth it? What Meg's drinking: 1996 Leo Buring Riesling, Eden Valley.
Best known for Hill of Grace and Mount Edelstone, Henschke is one of the most revered names in Australian wine.The company produces these iconic single vineyard shirazes from some of the world's oldest vines at its estate in Eden Valley, South Australia.We're joined this episode by viticulturist Prue Henschke, who has worked with her husband Stephen in the family wine business since 1980.The occasion is the recent launch of the 2016 Henschke single vineyard shirazes, an appropriate juncture to discuss the evolution of these wines under Prue and Stephen's stewardship.Most Australian wine drinkers are likely familiar with the style of Barossa Valley shiraz, but I think Eden Valley is possibly less well understood.I started the episode by asking Prue about the fundamental differences between the wines from these two neighbouring regions.

John and Simon talk Riesling and this iconic brand and how to decipher the numbered range. John has been named one of the first 4 finalists for the prestigious Gourmet Traveller Wine Winemaker of the year 2021. @rieslingfreakofficial #riesling
Orlando Wines returned in October 2020 with icons such as Steingarten Riesling, Jacaranda Ridge Cabernet and Lawson’s Shiraz joined by some new wines that are fresh and on-trend, such as a Barossa Grenache and some contemporary-style chardonnays.Orlando chief winemaker Ben Thoman is with you on the Drinks Adventures podcast to tell you everything you need to know about the iconic brand's return.Founded by the Gramp family in 1847, Orlando was considered one of Australia's top producers of quality wine, winning more than 1000 awards and accolades since records began in the 1980s.In this special episode, Ben Thoman tells you all about the exciting new Orlando wines, which excel across the board in showcasing some of South Australia's leading wine regions.You'll also also hear some brilliant archive audio we managed to access that helps tell the story of Orlando; including excerpts from an interview with the late Colin Gramp, a hugely important figure in the Australian wine industry who passed away last year.I hope you enjoy this episode that we've been able to produce with the support of Orlando Wines.
In this week's episode of The Adelaide Show, we explore a range of Flinders Ranges stories. Firstly, Brendan, Governess Carmel, and Michelle Reynods share their story of diversitying their Willow Springs Station property into Skytrek (a 4WD tourism experience). Secondly, we hear from Kaye Fels and John Teague from Hawker and surrounds, recorded at the Hawker Drought Muster on the weekend, an event organised by various Rotary Clubs from Adelaide (including Campbelltown and Magill) to cap off their campaign of dropping hay up to drought-stricken properties in recent time. And, thirdly, in the musical pilgrimage, we hear from J-MILLA, a singer songwriter who represents the First Nations of life on this land. We've heard from him before but his new song 60k+ is a reflection on the 60,000+ years that First Nations people lived in and became bonded to the land, including the spectacular land around Wilpena Pound, home of the Adnyamathanha people. To kick things off, in the SA Drink Of The Week is from Rojomoma in the Eden Valley. You can navigate episodes using chapter markers in your podcast app. Not a fan of wine?

Oh, and here's our index of all episode in one concise page Running Sheet: A range of Flinders Ranges stories 00:00:00 Intro Introduction to the show. 00:03:00 SA Drink Of The Week The SA Drink Of The Week is 2016 Rojomoma Cabernet Sauvignon from the Eden Valley. We taste it with winemaker, Sam Kurtz. 00:09:46 Brendan, Governess Carmel, and Michelle ReynoldsMeet the Reynolds family - Michelle, Governess Carmel, and Brendan - owners of Skytrek Willow Springs Station, a drawcard for 4WD enthusiasts in the Flinders Ranges. There are many Flinders Ranges stories and opinions to share from running a station in drought to building a tourism attraction, from learning through School Of The Air to teaching city slickers how to dress for the country. 00:34:22 Kaye Fels and John Teague On the weekend just passed, the Hawker Drought Muster was held to wrap up a season of hay drops, organised by various Rotary Clubs from Adelaide including Campbelltown and Magill. Steve chats with a couple of local operators about the muster, the drought, and creating a life in the northern Flinders Ranges. You'll meet Kaye Fels from Merna Mora, and John Teague who runs Hawker Motors. 00:46:13 Musical Pilgrimage In the musical pilgrimage, we have a song, 60k+ by J-MILLA. Just over a week ago, J-MILLA was handpicked as one of the BIGSOUND 50, and he celebrated by releasing his 4th official track: 60K+ feat Goji. 60K+ is one of J-MILLA's more racially skewed musings and came about when the Adelaide Festival Centre asked him to write a song for their youth program about the 2020 NAIDOC Week theme - Always Was Always Will Be. He had 72 hours to pen the track. He says, “60K+ just came to me. I wanted these young kids to understand and appreciate the fact that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples have been living on this country for more than 60,000 years; there's evidence of 80 thousand years so I wanted to plant that seed in their minds. I also wanted to take the opportunity and point out that I was raised by a non-Indigenous single mother and that she taught me everything I know about my black culture. I wanted to make this clear in this song, so that these kids understand that if you care for one another like my mum did me, colour shouldn't matter at all. Love is universal, we can all feel it.” Female singer, Goji, gives the song rich depth with her smooth melody work. It's the perfect song to wrap up an episode about the stunning land with a lot of history: The Flinders Ranges. And in news just in at the time of broadcast, it's been announced that J-MILLA will kick off NAIDOC week concerts on TikTOk Australia next Monday, November 9 2020, at 7pm SA time. Apparently, he is planning a 20-30 minute set that will be F.U.N.

Saved from the brink of extinction just 50 years ago, Viognier (pronounced vee-ohn-yay), is a white grape that's native to the Northern Rhône in France – mainly the areas of Condrieu and Ampuis. The grape produces effusive wines with a strong aromatic character -- peaches, apricots, flowers, herbs, and ginger are common -- and when made well it has a medium body with a touch of acidity and a pleasant bitterness. This week we continue the grape mini-series (maxi series now?) by exploring this comeback kid and the pleasure it can bring when in the right hands. History Viognier's parentage is a bit ambiguous, but it is related to Mondeuse Blanche, which makes it either a half sibling or grandparent of Syrah (as MC Ice points out, we could definitely make a word problem out of this – it’s a brain twister to think about, but possible!). The grape is also tied to Freisa and may be related to Nebbiolo, both which are native to the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy. Viognier was once grown pretty widely in the northern Rhône but the combination of the phylloxera outbreak in the mid- and late-19th century, followed by WWI, the Depression, and WWII drove a lot of growers to cities and left vineyards abandoned. By 1965, only about 30 acres (12 hectares) of Viognier vines remained in France, and the variety was nearly extinct. In the mid-1980s, interest started to grow both in France and from winegrowers in Australia and California. Growing interest lead to more plantings and today the grape is grown in Condrieu, Chateau Grillet, and Côte Rôtie in the Northern Rhône, all over the southern Rhône for blends, the Languedoc in southern France, as well as in North and South America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Israel, Japan, Switzerland, and Spain. Climate and Vineyard Viognier needs a long, warm growing season to fully ripen, but not so hot it develops excessive levels of sugar before its aromatic notes can develop. Viognier must get ripe to allow flavor to develop and that happens late, often after sugars develop. Viognier is a small thick-skinned berry with good resistance to rot. It does well on acidic, granite soils. Older vines – more than 30 or 50 years old are best for the grape. There are at least two clones of Viognier. The older, original one from Condrieu is highly aromatic and tight clustered. The other is healthier, higher yielding and looks and tastes different according to some. This clone, likely made at the University of Montpellier, is widespread in Australia. Winemaking begins in the vineyard – picking decision is vital: Pick too early and the grape has no flavor, and makes a flat wine. Pick too late the wine is flabby and oily. Must be ripe but not overripe, with lower yields. Although it is likely best to make the wine in stainless or neutral oak with perhaps some skin contact for a few hours before fermenting, the barrel fermentations, malolactic fermentations, and aging on lees can squash the unique flavor and scent of Viognier. Flavors and Styles Viognier is like peach, apricot, clementine, honeysuckle, chamomile, jasmine, thyme, pine, spice, ginger, crème fraiche, and honey with a full body and can be oily, or sometimes a bit bitter. It is low in acidity. When aged in oak it tastes like vanilla bean and with malolactic fermentation it is creamy and custard-like. It is almost always high in alcohol, with 14.5% ABV being common. The best Viognier from France often doesn’t age, and even loses aromas after a few years in the bottle. Some of the styles from Australia and the US, which have been aged in oak, last a few more years. The grape is often bottled as a single variety but can be blended with Roussanne, Marsanne, and Grenache Blanc. We didn’t mention this in the show, but the wine can be off-dry or even late harvest and sweet. Condrieu and Château-Grillet produce sweet wines in warmer years. Regions... France Northern Rhône: Viognier is grown as single variety in Rhône appellations Condrieu and Château Grillet on right (west) bank of Rhône River. In Côte Rôtie, winemakers can include up to 20% of Viognier though most growers add no more than 5%. Condrieu Includes seven communes along 14 miles, and makes wines that are usually dry, delicious young, and very aromatic wit structure. The area includes steep hillside vineyards, that face south-southeast to maximize morning sun, not hot evening sun. The soils are granite with a deep sandy topsoil called arzelle. This soil makes the best wine. Yields must be low, and picking must be after the grape has full aromatics. Top producers: Guigal, Rostaing, Delas, Pierre Gaillard, Vernay, Francois Villard Chateau Grillet This appellation is owned by one producer, it is a monopole. It is just 7.6 acres/3.08 ha on granite soil with mica – making the wines higher in acid. Vines are 80+ years old and although the area seems ideal, there have been problems with wine quality. Recently the owner of Château Latour of Bordeaux acquired the monopole; there’s hope for restoration of its former glory. Côte Rôtie We did a whole podcast on this area, but north of Condrieu is Côte Rôtie, a Syrah appellation that can include up to 20% Viognier in the wine (in reality it’s more like 5%). Viognier helps darken the color of the Syrah in co-pigmentation but it takes up valuable real estate so it’s not used as much as it could be. Other French areas: The southern Rhône, where it is blended, the Languedoc and Ardeche, where it makes serviceable Vins de Pays varietal or blended wines. Other Europe: Switzerland, Austria, Italy New World Australia Yalumba was the pioneer producer in South Australia’s Eden Valley in 1979. The Virgilius is their top wine (aged in oak). McLaren Vale, Barossa, Adelaide Hills, Heathcote, Geelong, Central Victoria, and more grow the grape, which is a challenge to growers because it stays flavorless for much of the growing season and then transforms into something delicious – patience is a virtue! One of the best uses for Viognier in Australia is its blends with Shiraz: Clonakilla (Canberra), Yering Station (Yarra), Torbreck (Barossa) United States California Viognier came in 1980s to California when John Alban (Alban Vineyards in Edna Valley), Josh Jensen of Calera (Central Coast), and Joseph Phelps (Napa), brought it into the United States in small quantities. The plantings and interest grew as a group of producers dedicated to growing Rhône varieties, called the Rhône Rangers, grew in numbers and popularity. Today California has more than 3,000 acres of Viognier. Yields are high compared to France, the wines can often be overblown if grown in too-hot weather but the greatest examples are full-bodied and rich. Top Producers: Tablas Creek, Crux, Qupé, Alban, Calera, Kunde Virginia Viognier is a signature grape of Virginia because the thick skins of the grape work well in the humidity and the diurnals of the mountains mean Viognier can ripen but maintain acidity over a long growing season. The typical VA Viognier has great fruit, slight bitterness, medium body and good acidity. Top producers: Barboursville, King Family, Horton Other US: Oregon, Washington (we mention ABEJA), Texas Around the World: New Zealand, South Africa, South America (Argentina has a lot, Chile some – all young plantings) Food: The wine is great with dishes that have rosemary, thyme, saffron, and creamy sauces. Expect to spend more than $50 a bottle for good Viognier (we had the 2017 version of the Guigal below. It was US$50). ___________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Thanks to YOU!

...in which we head to Matterdale for a guided tour of James Rebanks' hill farm. As we explore thriving meadows, newly-dug ponds and scrub-fringed becks, we discuss James' latest book, English Pastoral, and the "beautiful compromise" of sustainably stewarding the land. Taking a three generation view of farming in Matterdale and the Eden Valley, we hear why there's fire in the belly of young shepherds, why talk of the 'sheepwrecked uplands' is wide of the mark, why Beatrix Potter is James' writing heroine – and why Cumbria's best food is to be had at The Little Chippy, Penrith. English Pastoral can be bought from www.penguin.co.uk/books/290/290329/english-pastoral/9780241245729.html . Many Cumbrian bookshops are selling signed editions.

Louisa Rose joins Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger on California Wine Country. She is the winemaker at Yalumba in Australia and one that Dan Berger holds in the highest esteem. We also have a visit today from Mariangela of Della Toffola, one of our sponsors. She tells how Della Toffola was founded in Italy and opened their Santa Rosa, California affiliate in 2009. Even Louisa Rose uses some Della Toffola equipment, in Australia. The company also makes equipment for the craft beer industry, mainly in filtration. Dan Berger met Louisa Rose probably soon after his first of many visits to Australia. Dan declares that Australia makes some of the best Rieslings in the world. He also says that Louisa is one of the most skilled winemakers in the world with consistently great results. Yalumba is an Aboriginal word, a local word meaning "all the land around." They are based in the Barossa, in southern Australia, where they have established a high-quality production of certain varietals, especially Syrah, Grenache and Mourvedre. More recently they have become known for Viogner too. Dan says it is a tricky variety and very few people in the US know a lot about it. There isn't much of it grown here. The first wine they serve is one of Dan's favorite Rieslings ever, a 2018 Yalumba from a historic vineyard in the Eden Valley, that's the cooler higher area. The vines came originally from Germany and the estate there has been producing Riesling for decades. The Barossa was settled by Scots and Germans. The Germans brought the Riesling. They have been making it for 172 years. In California we started in about 1880, so about 30 years later. Dan will cellar some for about 5 years. Dan says that Yalumba doesn't get the recognition it deserves, and that they produce a higher proportion of excellent wines than ever before Our sponsor Bottle Barn does carry the Rieslings and the Grenache that we will taste later. Next they taste maybe the most interesting and stylish Australian Riesling, a 2013. Dan finds it very flavorful, with a toast flavor, and lime, white pepper and sage oil. Dan says this character comes from the vineyard, not the winery. The founders of Yalumba came from Dorset in England in 1849. The same family is still there making wine, six generations later. They have never had philloxera there so many of their vines are the original rootstock. They taste the "1961 Riesling" from a small part of the vineyard that was planted in 1961. They leave this wine on the lees for a longer time. It's a 2018. Dan says it's young and will develop its flavor profile later, even if it's very drinkable now. It's very dry.
We are joined by the beautiful Charlotte Kristensen – ex-lawyer turned wine lover and blogger. Learn about her mid-life gap year in New York and the legacy she left behind. Charlotte tells us all about her work with the Loire Valley. We talk all about this amazing region, its gems but also its difficulties with labelling terms. Uruguay gets a decent focus too as a wine region and as a country, we all should visit. We discuss Prosecco Superiore DOCG and how it is celebrating it’s 50 years and also the best vintages of Port. We still manage to talk about Japanese toilets squirting up your bum, sexy French accents and an incredible wine label called Sorry for the slow reply – which literally has a naked cartoon man with a humongous penis on it!

Barossa is one of the most historic, fascinating places in the new world. Winemaking started with German immigrants in 1840 and there have been ups and downs in the industry since. What hasn’t changed: there has always been a small cadre of winemakers here that have made outstanding fascinating Shiraz and Riesling. We dig into the history of the region, talk about its wines and give you another region in Australia to seek out. We start with an overview of the Barossa: 56 km/35 miles northeast of Adelaide, 34°S Winemaking began in 1842 550 grape growing families, many with 6thgeneration still working the land Dominated by valley floors and rolling hills, with high altitudes (good for grapes) The Barossa Zone is made up of the Barossa Valley and Eden Valleys, warm and cool climate regions respectively Known for: Barossa Shiraz and Eden Valley Riesling Others: Cabernet Sauvignon, Mataro, Grenache, Semillon and Fortified wines, plus GSM blends, bigger whites (Chardonnay, Sémillon, Viognier), Tempranillo and Zinfandel OLD VINES: Many Shiraz vines in the Barossa Valley are several decades old, some 100+ years old NO phylloxera (quarantine laws have helped) here ever so you can get old vines Barossa ZONE Zone = An area that usually comprises one or more regions. Extremely variable landscape -- elevation, inland locations and the coastal influence – lots of mesoclimates Valley floor is HOT – 95˚F/35˚C and dry, hillsides are cool with great diurnals VERY dry so they irrigate, except old vine vineyards on the slightly cooler western side of the valley –dry farmed Barossa Valley Land:Flat and hilly -- microclimates Climate: Mediterranean climate: cool, wet winters and warm, dry summers, drought is an issue General style: Very ripe grapes with high alcohol, low acid, short maceration to keep tannins soft extensive oak – usually American with coconut/dill notes Shiraz:black fruit, dried fruit (prune) and mocha aromas, tobacco and an earthiness, black pepper aromas. Medium tannin, high alcohol - 14%–15% ABV. Many old, low-yielding vines with great intensity of flavor, and are believed to be among the oldest producing vines in the world. Henschke, Hill of Grace Shiraz, Eden Valley Penfolds, Block 42 Cabernet Sauvignon, Barossa Valley Chateau Tanunda, 150 Year Old Vine Semillon, Barossa Valley Elderton, Command Single Vineyard Shiraz, Barossa Valley Turkey Flat, The Ancestor Shiraz, Barossa Valley Other wines: GSM blends and Shiraz-Cabernet, Cabernet, oaky Chardonnay, Semillon Eden Valley Land: In the Barossa Ranges: Best sites on moderate slopes with good sun exposure 380 and 500 meters (1200 and 1640ft) high, MUCH cooler than Barossa Valley – longer growing season, more flavor development Climate: Higher altitude: Eden Valley can be 5 – 7°C cooler than the Barossa Valley floor, slows ripening, more acidity. Fall rain and frosts are issues Riesling is the big dog here: lime, apple and floral characters, along with refreshing acidity and minerality, developing more complex toasty notes with age. Can age them Shiraz: Henschke's single vineyard Hill of Grace, Mount Edenstone The Future: Studying terroir with Barossa Grounds Project: Barossa Grape & Wine Association began in 2008 with annual wine tastings and descriptive analysis of 80 unoaked, single vineyard Shiraz Alluvial sands and rich fertile black soils in Southern Barossa, to the infertile slopes overlaying the limestone and ancient sandstone and schist of Eden Valley – to the red clay loams of Northern Barossa – sparking other regions to do more research into land, a new chapter for Australia Check out https://www.barossawine.com for more info!
