Kurtz Family Boundary Row Grenache/Shiraz/Mataro 2010, Barossa Valley, South Australia

Sage and cherry on the nose with definite floral aromas. The blending of Mataro and Shiraz with the Grenache has created very good complexity. Tbere is warmth from the alcahol, but there is a savoury flavor of blueberry and plum with a hint of chocolate which balances the overall flavor. This is a medium to full bodied wine, very smooth tanins, mouth filling, easy drinking with food or on it's own. Great with BBQ staek or orher savoury meats.

Clemens Busch Marienburg Kabinett Riesling 2013, Prädikatswein

This is just a great Riesling. At first it has a hint of a sweet honeyed taste and you think, this might be too sweet. It isn't. The acidity is in perfect balance making it an off dry Riesling with intense flavours. It is light, juicy and the length is excellent. A great Kabinett.
