Met up today with one of Australia's gold-medal winning winemakers, Nigel Burton. His winery in South Australia is starting to make a mark and Mrs Ozzie and I had a pleasant Sunday afternoon sheltering from the rain and sampling his wines.
Mrs Ozzie acually enjoyed his chardonnay (that's a surprise, eh?). For you chardonnay drinkers, I'd recommend you try it. Sorry, it's not available in liquor stores or supermarkets. Nigel speaks of a strong melon and buttery flavor and I must admit it was very pleasant. I've ordered a case for our cellar.
What took my interest was .............(drum roll).........................nah, not a shiraz, but.....................a cabernet merlot!
After sampling a case Ill be more in a position to let you know what I think, but for now, check this out: http://www.burtonpremiumwines.com/
Cheers, Ozzie
