Next there is a range of wines coming from regions including Beechworth (a major resource is the associated Indigo Vineyard), Orange, Central Ranges, McLaren Vale, Cowra and elsewhere. In 2017 Iain Riggs celebrated his 35th vintage at the helm of Brokenwood, offering a unique mix of winemaking skills, management of a diverse business, and an unerring ability to keep Brokenwood's high profile fresh and newsworthy.

The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie.

It was established by Australia's leading wine critic, James Halliday. Consistently listed as a 5-star winery, Brokenwood is home to the famous Graveyard Vineyard Shiraz, the highly acclaimed ILR Reserve Semillon, and the popular Cricket Pitch Range.\\n\\nThe Hunter Valley is the best-known and most highly prized wine region in New South Wales. It is known as the region where the Australian wine industry started. The valley's winemakers have pioneered two distinctive styles of wine (oaked Chardonnay and dry Semillon) and has retained a strong connection with both of them. The Hunter Valley's most famous wine style is its distinctive dry Semillon, made there since the 1870s. Hunter Valley Semillons are renowned for their ability to improve with age.\\n\\nShiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World. Though genetically identical, the stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah are usually pronounced.\\n\\nShiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\\n\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99\/100 James Halliday \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100 Huon Hooke \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96\/100 Decanter Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 Decanter Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e98\/100 James Halliday\u003c\/strong\u003e (2014 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Robert Parker \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 Vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Vinous Antoni Galloni \u003c\/strong\u003e(2014 Vintage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1119}{\"1\":1121,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1135}{\"1\":1547,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1566}{\"1\":1892,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1904}{\"1\":2254,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2294}{\"1\":2745,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2759}{\"1\":3053,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3061}{\"1\":3530,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3543}{\"1\":4077,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4091}{\"1\":5090,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":5115}{\"1\":5169,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":5194}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;96\/100 James Halliday \\n99\/100 James Halliday (2017 vintage)\\n98\/100 Huon Hooke (2017 vintage)\\n96\/100 Decanter Wine Awards (2017 vintage)\\n97\/100  Decanter Wine Awards (2018 Vintage)\\n98\/100 James Halliday (2014 Vintage)\\n97\/100 James Suckling (2014 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Robert Parker (2014 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Vinous Antoni Galloni (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nHalliday 100 - Halliday Wine Companion '2019 Top 100\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\nBest In Show Trophy - Decanter World Wine Awards (2017 vintage)\\nRated by the Langton's Classification of Australian Wine V as 'Exceptional'\\n\\nPlatinum - Decanter World Wine Awards 2020 (2018 Vintage)\\nJames Halliday 'Wine of the Year' 2021 (2018 Vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2013 Vintage)\\nBronze - International Wine Challenge (2011 Vintage)\\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards (2011 Vintage)\\nBronze - International Wine Challenge (2011 Vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2011 Vintage)\\nGold - Decanter World Wine Awards (2009 Vintage)\\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards (2006 Vintage)\\nBronze - International Wine Challenge (2006 Vintage)\\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards (2006 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;A stellar wine boasting an intensity of flavour, palate-staining levels of extract and a forensic precision to the tannins that forces one to swish the wine about the mouth while chewing every ounce of nourishment from it.

A classy wine with a fine, peppery texture.\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nJames Suckling - \\\u0026quot;This has such impressively ripe yet poised style and offers bold blackberries, raspberries and plums with chocolate, leaves and bark, too. The palate has impressively supple and fleshy style and delivers ripe dark-berry flavors with freshness. Drinking well already. Drink or hold.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNed Goodwin MW - James Halliday \\\u0026quot;When I think of Brokenwood, I think of this wine. The medium-bodied stalwart that showcases the savoury steadying hand that the Hunter imparts to its better wines. Red cherry, damson plum, baking spice, a seasoning of vanillan oak. There's a loamy, earthen feel to the swathe of tannin, gentle enough to encroach upon, yet firm enough to ensure ageability.\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nHuon Hooke - The Real Review \\\u0026quot;Bright, deep purple\/red hue, with a nose of ground black peppercorns and subtle red fruits, the palate intense and shrill, youthfully aggressive with a little astringency from acidity and tannins, gritty and somewhat unready. It's a bit immature, but has very good potential\\\u0026quot; \\n\\nJames Halliday - \\\u0026quot;An archetypal Hunter Valley shiraz: medium-bodied with predominantly earthy\/black fruits peppered by fine tannins that underwrite the cellaring certainty of a pure-bred wine.\\\u0026quot; (2018 Vintage) \\n\\nMike Bennie - \\\u0026quot;Fragrant wine of pure-feeling fruit expression, just shy of medium weight, shaped with fine ribbons of tannin. Anise, kirsch and graphite mineral notes come to the fore. It’s a wine that feels sleek and spicy, silky and elegant, svelte and succulent, a touch of class, but with high drinkability in tow\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winefront ~ \\\u0026quot;It’s grown on the Graveyard vineyard; it’s essentially a “declassified Graveyard Shiraz”. It sees all-French oak, of course.\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nJames Suckling - \\\u0026quot;This is a deep and pretty red with crushed blackberries, spices and dried flowers. Rose-petal undertones. Full-bodied yet tight and very integrated. Some smoke and tea undertones. Ripe fruit. Sliced meat, too.\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday - \\\u0026quot;This may be the junior brother to Graveyard, but it's a brilliant one, with 25% new French oak, the grapes coming from the replanted vines on the Graveyard Vineyard. You have to work out whether you want six bottles of this or one bottle of Graveyard\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\n\\nThe Winemaker ~ \\\u0026quot;Lovely mid depth colour with purple tints. Lifted red spice, ginger and earthy notes on the aroma. Ripe fruit and low oak impact on the palate, with the new oak providing a slight vanillin sweetness. The ripe fruit tannins are perfect and with the acid give a very long finish to the wine. Typical medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz from a great year that will reward for many years\\\u0026quot; (2017 Vintage)\\n\\nEstablished in 1970 Brokenwood Wines is one of Australia's most reputable premium wine labels and a must-visit in the Hunter Valley.

Hewitson fruit is sourced from historic, dry-grown vineyards in the Barossa Valley and also from single-site vineyards in Eden Valley, McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nFrederick Wildman \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson founded his eponymous winery in 1998. He is a highly respected Australian winemaker ...Hewitson has worked at wineries in Australia, France, Italy and Oregon. Hewitson then moved to the U.S. where he earned a Masters from UC-Davis. On his return home, Dean brought a wealth of knowledge, practical experience and a driving passion to produce wines not only from Barossa Valley but also from the McLaren Vale and the Adelaide Hills regions.\\n\\nHewitson fundamentally believes great wines are the expression of the soils they are grown in and the season in which they are grown. With his longstanding focus on terroir—specific terroir plots in fact—many of Hewitson’s wines are single vineyard. He sources grapes from not only his own vineyards but also from long-standing grower contracts including a few sourced from some of the oldest living, still productive vines on plots that date back to the mid-19th century and are pre-phylloxera. His ‘Old Garden’ Mourvèdre is a single-vineyard wine, whose vines were planted in 1853 in Barossa Valley and are reputed to be the oldest Mourvèdre vines in the world. Hewitson’s ‘Miss Harry’ is sourced from a Grenache vineyard planted in 1880, also thought to be the oldest Grenache in existence.\\n\\nDue to Hewitson’s education and experience in Australia, California and France, Hewitson wines combine Old-World traditions with New-World fruit purity. And while he clearly excels with Rhône Valley grape varieties, Hewitson also produces award-winning Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. A practitioner in solar energy, water recycling and encouraging natural biodiversity, Hewitson produces wines in an environmentally sustainable fashion.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Halliday \\\u0026quot;Dean Hewitson was a winemaker at Petaluma [one of Australia's leading wineries] for 10 years, during which time he managed to do three vintages in France and one in Oregon as well as undertaking his Masters at the University of California, Davis. It is hardly surprising that the wines are immaculately made from a technical viewpoint. Dean sources 30-year-old Riesling from the Eden Valley and 70-year-old shiraz from McLaren Vale; he also makes a Barossa Valley Mourvedre from vines planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat, and Barossa Valley Shiraz and Grenache from 60-year-old vines at Tanunda.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Barossa Valley is an extremely important wine-producing region within the Barossa zone of South Australia, particularly associated with powerful red wines from the red wine grape variety Shiraz. A prestigious and internationally renowned region, it is not only home to some of the oldest vineyards and wineries in Australia but produces some of its most recognizable and sought-after brands. A striking feature of the Barossa Valley's wine landscape is the presence of very old vines, proudly showcased on many wine labels and during vineyard tours.\\n\\nShiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World. Though genetically identical, the stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah are usually pronounced.\\n\\nShiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\" class=\"\"\u003e95\/100 Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003e94\/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e92\/100 Jamie Goode, Wineanorak\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003e91\/100 Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e94\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 vintage) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Sam Kim, Wine Orbit\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 vintage) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003e92\/100 Gary Walsh, The Wine Front \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003e95\/100 - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 James Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e (2017 vintage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"content-inner\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"auto\" class=\"text-content clearfix with-meta with-outgoing-icon\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong class=\"\" data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003eSilver - Paris Wine Cup \u003cbr\u003eGold - Mundus Vini International Wine Awards \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-entity-type=\"MessageEntityBold\"\u003eGold - Catavinum World Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition\u003c\/strong\u003e (2018 vintage)\n\u003cdiv class=\"MessageOutgoingStatus\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Transition\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"Transition_slide Transition_slide-active\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci class=\"icon icon-message-succeeded\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":612}{\"1\":958,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":973}{\"1\":1172,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1185}{\"1\":1853,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1867}{\"1\":2097,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2110}{\"1\":2514,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2556}{\"1\":2860,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2876}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":65535},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"arial,sans,sans-serif\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;95\/100 Wine Pilot\\n94\/100 Sam Kim\\n91\/100 The Wine Front\\n92\/100 The Wine Front (2018 Vintage)\\n95\/100 Gold - James Halliday (2017 Vintage)\\n92\/100 The Wine Front (2016 Vintage)\\n91\/100 The Wine Front (2015 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Vinous Antonio Galloni (2013 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Wine Enthusiast (2014 Vintage)\\n90\/100 Jeremy Oliver (2015 Vintage)\\n91\/100 Jeremy Oliver (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nGold - Mundus Vini International Wine Awards (2018 Vintage)\\nGold - Catavinum World Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition (2018 Vintage)\\n\\nJames Halliday 5 Star Winery\\nJames Halliday Top 100 Winery 2017\\n\\nWine Pilot \\\u0026quot;Super wine.

The most famous examples come from the northern Rhône Valley of France, notably Hermitage and Côte-Rôtie. In the New World, in regions like Sonoma Coast, California; Yarra Valley, Australia; and parts of Chile, the wines are called Syrah because they emulate the leaner, acid-driven, savory styles of the Old World French classics.\\n\\nShiraz tends to come from warmer growing climates, namely the South Australian regions of Barossa, McLaren Vale and Adelaide Hills. Stylistically, these wines are lush, fruit-forward examples that embody the warmer, sunnier climate.

Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hewitson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40926347395223,"sku":"HEW-MVMSH18-7506","price":159.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/hewitson-mother-vine-monopole-shiraz-2018-barossa-valley-south-australia-pop-up-wine-1-33548193366248.jpg?v=1764691201"},{"product_id":"mchenry-hohnen-burnside-chardonnay-2018-margaret-river-western-australia","title":"McHenry Hohnen Burnside Chardonnay (Organic) 2018 ~ Margaret River, Western Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":760}{\"1\":761,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":780}{\"1\":1170,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1198}{\"1\":1527,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1539}{\"1\":1912,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1926}{\"1\":2277,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2330}{\"1\":2588,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2635}{\"1\":3021,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3031}{\"1\":3406,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3417}{\"1\":3509,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3519}{\"1\":3991,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4001}{\"1\":4140,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4154}{\"1\":4536,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4552}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15299,\"3\":{\"1\":1},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16503988},\"9\":0,\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"verdana\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;96\/100 Campbell Mattinson (Halliday's Wine Companion)\\n90\/100 Stuart Knox (The Real Review)\\n96\/100 Mike Bennie (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Steven Creber (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Nick Stock (2017 vintage)\\n94\/100 Ray Jordan (2017 Vintage)\\n97\/100 Ray Jordan, The West Australian (2016 vintage)\\n95\/100 Mike Bennie, Wine Business Magazine (2016 vintage)\\n95\/100 Gary Walsh, Winefront (2016 vintage)\\n92\/100 Huan Hooke (2016 vintage)\\n\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards\\nCommended - Decanter World Wine Awards (2014 vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2013 vintage)\\nBronze - Decanter World Wine Awards (2012 vintage)\\nSilver - Decanter World Wine Awards (2011 vintage)\\n5 Star Winery - James Halliday\\n\\nHalliday's Wine Companion Awards 2023 - Top Wineries of 2022 \u0026amp; 2023\\n\\nCampbell Mattinson \\\u0026quot;...There's a pure, strong drive of acidity running from start to finish too.

Shiraz is a lesser light but can be very impressive too. Grenache and mataro are regional rarities, as are three-way blends of the two with shiraz, so this wine shines a light on the possibilities. It’s a very savoury drop, dramatically at odds with the voluptuous grenache-dominant styles of South Australia. It opens with lots of spice and herbal, undergrowthy scents, red berry fruit woven through. The palate is quite sinewy and structured, more about texture than ripe flavour. A tight core of fruit carries through it with a drying, grainy tannic edge behind it.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nSommeliers International \\\u0026quot;At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions. The fertility of these soils no longer needs to be proved, because, by chance, they are also found in Saint-Emilion, a terroir that is extremely familiar to the man who manages “Cheval Blanc” …. Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed. It is clear that this region needs winegrowers of such calibre, those who possess a sixth sense and, using techniques that almost resemble intentional alchemy, transform the grapes they touch into wines that exude the unique character of a specific area.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Entre-deux-Mers region, nicknamed by wine experts as “Little Tuscany”, is unique and jealously protected by its inhabitants. \\\u0026quot;There are fifteen appellations that constitute the Entre-deux-Mers. The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Decanter \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e89-91\/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e88-90\/100 Anthocyanes - Yohan Castaing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15.5\/20 Vinum Wine Magazine \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e14.5\/20 La Revue du Vin de France\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Plenty of sliced-apple, peach and lemon character with a medium body, fresh acidity and a clean, vivid finish.

Pierre Lurton comes from two of the great Bordeaux families. His father Dominique was the youngest son of the paterfamilias François Lurton; his uncle André Lurton who founded the eponymous wine company; his many cousins run châteaux from Pauillac to Pomerol. His mother is from the famous Lafite family.\\n\\nThe influential Club Enologique asserts that Pierre is the most accomplished wine personality of his famous family. Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition.

Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious.

It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and \"easy drinking\" wines. Merlot is often used to great effect in blends, and is known in his capacity to make some of the most famous wines in the world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chateau Marjosse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43830337569000,"sku":"CHAMAR-CUVCHMLE18-7506","price":64.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/files\/chateau-marjosse-pierre-lurton-cuvee-charmille-rouge-2018-bordeaux-france-pop-up-wine-1-33304078680296.png?v=1775443738"},{"product_id":"chateau-marjosse-pierre-lurton-cuvee-palombre-white-2020-bordeaux-france","title":"Chateau Marjosse Pierre Lurton Cuvee Palombre White 2020 - Bordeaux, France","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":405}{\"1\":406,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":420}{\"1\":624,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":641}{\"1\":1414,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1428}{\"1\":1654,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1688}{\"1\":2924,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":2939}{\"1\":3723,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":3731}{\"1\":4402,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":4427}{\"1\":6487,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":6512}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":15235,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16711680},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"14\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":0},\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;92\/100 James Suckiing \\n93\/100 James Sucking (2019 vintage)\\n92\/100 Jean Marc Quarin (2019 vintage) \\n90\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider (2019 vintage) \\n16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson (2019 vintage) \\n\\nOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\\n\\nJames Suckling, ''..I like the density and concentration, with a delicious creaminess undercut by herb and spice...Almonds, fennel, yoghurt, grapefruit and pear skins on the nose, with some cloves and white pepper.''\\n\\nJancis Robinson \\\u0026quot;Cuvée Palombe, a startlingly rich white based on 45- to 70-year-old vines named after a pigeon.

Trained as a doctor but swapping his studies for wine making after four years. At 23 he took over Clos Fourtet in St Emilion, one of the fine Lurton properties, and in 1991 he was appointed head of Château Cheval Blanc (it was bought by Bernard Arnault of LVMH in 1998); in 1999 he took on Château d’Yquem, which had just been added to the Arnault portfolio.\\n\\nClub Enologique describes Pierre Lurton as having the world’s most corporate wine job. \\\u0026quot;However he divides his time between two of the world’s most exalted wine properties, but comes down to earth in Entre-deux-Mers, the leafy, unpretentious appellation to the east of Bordeaux at Château Marjosse.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nThe Château Marjosse estate is located in Entre-deux-Mers, on the right bank of Bordeaux. Initially owned by the wine merchant Bernard Chénier, Château Marjosse was acquired by the Deleuze family, who, in 1990, gave some plots to Pierre Lurton to rent. In 1992, Pierre Lurton, who grew up in Château Reynier, neighbour to this magnificent Chartreuse, moved to a second home in Château Marjosse and, over successive years became the owner of the entire vineyard, as well as the Chartreuse in 2013.\\n\\nDecanter \\\u0026quot;Since Lurton bought Château Marjosse in 1994, the estate has improved beyond recognition. Pierre's father, Dominique Lurton, also made over a further 30ha so that, under the Château Marjosse label, Lurton now exploits 42ha of vineyard, six hectares of white and 36ha of Bordeaux red – a total of 300,000 bottles a year. Pierre insists his wine is Bordeaux and not Bordeaux Supérieur because ‘my wine is only supérieur in the bottle’. His objectives are ambitious. As the quality of the terroir with clay-limestone soil is similar to some of the better areas in Saint-Emilion, he hopes to prove that wines from this area can rival those from more prestigious regions.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nSommeliers International \\\u0026quot;At Château Marjosse the land possesses yet another specific feature, known locally as “la Boulbène”, a silty-clayey texture that has developed on ancient alluvions.

Pierre Lurton. Assisted in this transformation by Consultant-Oenologist Pascal Poussevin, whose recommendations range from vine growing to wine-making, Pierre Lurton’s estate has now reached its cruising speed … Beyond the fabulous adventures he experiences in his role as manager of Châteaux d’Yquem, Cheval Blanc, as well as estates in South Africa, Latin America and in Australia … it is undoubtedly with “the salt of this land here in the Entre-deux-Mers” that his years of quest for perfection will be revealed.

The most well-known of them all, reputed for its dry, lively white wines, is certainly the one which bears the name of this region! The Entre-deux-Mers cultivates a certain speciality in producing white wines, due to its basic geological assets, possessing gravelly-limestone soils, upon which Sémillon, Sauvignon, Muscadelle and even Ugni Blanc grape varieties are planted. But the variety of soils and sub-soils associated with such a complex landscape provides a diversity of terroirs … These are favourable for producing red wines, that are regrettably not sufficiently well-known, but highly prized for the complexity of their aromas, their deep, vivid colour, as well as the concentration and elegance of their tannins.\\\u0026quot; Sommeliers International.\\n\\nBordeaux, in the southwest of France, needs little introduction as one of the world's most famous, prestigious and prolific wine regions. Its three trump cards are diversity, quality and quantity. The majority of Bordeaux wines (nearly 90 percent of production volume) are the dry, medium- and full-bodied red Bordeaux Blends that established its reputation. The finest (and most expensive) of these come from the great châteaux of the Haut-Médoc and the Right Bank appellations Saint-Émilion and Pomerol. The legendary reds are complemented by high-quality white wines, both dry styles (particularly from Pessac-Léognan) and the sweet, botrytized nectars of Sauternes.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is a pink-berried mutation of the Sauvignon Blanc grape. It most likely originated around Bordeaux, but has found itself quite at home in Chile. Sauvignon Gris is thinly scattered across other parts of the wine world, including Uruguay, New Zealand, the United States and Switzerland.\\n\\nIts popularity among growers was historically severely limited by its low yields; in France in 2009 there were (officially) only 463 hectares (1144 acres) of vines. However plantings may be on the increase, in the Loire, in Bordeaux to add body to Sauvignon Blanc, and elsewhere around the world. While the clone is not legally permitted in some Loire appellations – such as Sancerre – it is generally agreed that Sauvignon Gris vines are present in a good number of vineyards in such zones.\\n\\nSauvignon Gris is less aromatic than its Sauvignon Blanc sibling, but certainly capable of producing interesting wines. Wines produced from Sauvignon Gris tend to be richer and more voluptuous in texture than Sauvignon Blanc, with ripe fruit flavors of mango and melon as well as citrus notes. The wines are usually dry and tend to have some of the herbaceous notes so typical of the Sauvignon family. The type of color mutation seen in Sauvignon Gris is a naturally occurring phenomenon and reasonably common. For example, Roter Riesling is a pink-skinned mutation of Riesling, Chardonnay Rosé is a mutation of Chardonnay and Pinot Gris is a light-berried variant of Pinot Noir. Sauvignon Gris is also often blended with Sauvignon Blanc, including examples where the former is a minor (usually uncredited) component of New World varietal Sauvignon Blanc wines.\\n\\nThe Sauvignon Blanc taste is one of the most identifiable in the world of white wines for a few reasons. First, it always has crisp, high acidity. Second, it has a chemical compound called pyrazine which gives grassy, herbal or bell pepper flavors. When grown in cooler climates or picked early, the herbaceous green character is most prominent. In warmer climates or allowed to hang longer on the vine, the pyrazine character diminishes in favor of riper fruit flavors ranging from grapefruit, to passion fruit and guava.\\n\\nSémillon is one of the wine world's unsung heroes. The gold-skinned grape produces France's most famous and revered sweet wines, notably Sauternes, and some of the greatest dry white wines of Australia - particulary those in the Hunter Valley. \u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 James Suckling \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e93\/100 James Sucking \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e92\/100 Jean Marc Quarin \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 Jeff Leve, The Wine Cellar Insider \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage)\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e16.5\/20 Jancis Robinson \u003c\/strong\u003e(2019 vintage) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOwned by one of the world's most famous winemakers, Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux's best-known chateaux, the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Suckling,\u003c\/strong\u003e ''..I like the density and concentration, with a delicious creaminess undercut by herb and spice...Almonds, fennel, yoghurt, grapefruit and pear skins on the nose, with some cloves and white pepper.''\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJancis Robinson\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Cuvée Palombe, a startlingly rich white based on 45- to 70-year-old vines named after a pigeon.

These are prized for producing low yields of extremely concentrated fruit. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre, which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here.

In Spain it is rosado and in Italy rosato. Rosé’s flavours and styles are as varied as the food it matches.  Rosé predates white and red wine with ancient rosé-style wines dating back 8,000 years. The colour of a rosé can vary dramatically. A deep fuchsia pink rosé may be bone-dry, though it’s likely to be full flavoured given balance by a gentle squeeze of tannin. Tannin primarily comes from the skin of a grape – as does colour. It’s tannin that sets rosé apart from white and red wine. Almost all wine grapes have clear juice; it’s the skins that give the colour. Grenache is the most popular grape used in rosé, with its lifted confectionary aromas, juicy red fruit flavours and mild-mannered tannins creating the textbook triumvirate for rosé. The temperate Provence region of France is home to some of the world’s most accliamed rosé, perhaps naturally, given it’s widely planted with grenache and its Rhône varietals; mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah. \u0026quot;}\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2021 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e91\/100 Natalie MacLean \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBronze Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2020 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95\/100 Jane Faulkner (Halliday Companion) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e94\/100 Carolyn Evans Hammond \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e90\/100 James Button (Decanter) \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrophy Winner - 2018 Royal Melbourne Wine Show for Best Rosé - Top Gold medal, awarded 96 points \u003c\/strong\u003e(2018 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Silver Medal - Australian Alternative Varieties Wine Show 2017 \u003c\/strong\u003e(2017 vintage)\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNASAA Certified Biodynamic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Winemaker\u003c\/strong\u003e \"Elegant and refined, but with some texture and interest.

In Spain it is rosado and in Italy rosato. Rosé’s flavours and styles are as varied as the food it matches. Rosé predates white and red wine with ancient rosé-style wines dating back 8,000 years. The colour of a rosé can vary dramatically. A deep fuchsia pink rosé may be bone-dry, though it’s likely to be full flavoured given balance by a gentle squeeze of tannin. Tannin primarily comes from the skin of a grape – as does colour. It’s tannin that sets rosé apart from white and red wine. Almost all wine grapes have clear juice; it’s the skins that give the colour. Grenache is the most popular grape used in rosé, with its lifted confectionary aromas, juicy red fruit flavours and mild-mannered tannins creating the textbook triumvirate for rosé. The temperate Provence region of France is home to some of the world’s most accliamed rosé, perhaps naturally, given it’s widely planted with grenache and its Rhône varietals; mourvèdre, cinsault and syrah. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hedonist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43921437491432,"sku":"HED-ROS22-7506","price":44.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/8685\/products\/hedonist-organic-rose-2022-mclaren-vale-australia-pop-up-wine-1-32280306221288.png?v=1743667140"},{"product_id":"hedonist-sangiovese-2020-mclaren-vale-australia","title":"Hedonist Sangiovese 2021 - McLaren Vale, Australia","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic - Currently undergoing NASAA certification\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-textstyleruns='{\"1\":0,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":330}{\"1\":332,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":347}{\"1\":478,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":492}{\"1\":678,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":692}{\"1\":1134,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1149}{\"1\":1253,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1269}{\"1\":1374,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1386}{\"1\":1750,\"2\":{\"5\":1}}{\"1\":1775}' data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13187,\"3\":{\"1\":4,\"2\":\"\\\"$\\\"#,##0.00\"},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":16573901},\"10\":0,\"11\":4,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":8}' data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;90\/100 Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion)\\n92\/100 Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) (2019 Vintage)\\n94\/100 Ned Goodwin MW (Halliday Wine Companion) (2018 Vintage)\\n90\/100 James Suckling (2018 Vintage)\\n91\/100 James Button (Decanter) (2016 Vintage)\\nBronze The Wine Front (2016 Vintage)\\nBronze The Wine Front (2014 Vintage)\\n\\nNed Goodwin MW \\\u0026quot;Medium bodied with just enough tannic framework, grape and vanillin oak, to keep the fruit sweetness from slipping into excess.\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nNed Goodwin MW \\\u0026quot;Dark cherry, lavender, tar, anise and a swab of olive-paste notes, carried long by jittery acidity.

A mandated 50% Grenache is required in the wine, with Mourvèdre and\/or Syrah usually accounting for the bulk of the remaining blend—adding structure, savory tones and color intensity to Grenache’s alcoholic power and lush richness.
