The palate is medium-bodied with chewy tannin and moderate acidity, quite smooth in texture with a dab of white pepper toward the finish. It will need a couple of years in bottle, but this Bordeaux Rouge should come around nicely.\\\u0026quot;\\r\\n\\r\\nChâteau Marjosse is owned by French 'wine royalty', Pierre Lurton - president of two of Bordeaux’s best-known châteaux; the Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMH) owned, Château Cheval Blanc and Château d’Yquem, Château Marjosse. 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.\\r\\n\\r\\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.\\r\\n\\r\\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;\\r\\n\\n\\r\\n1 x Plantagenet Wyjup Collection Shiraz 2018 - Mt.

Perfect for grilled meats.\\\u0026quot; (2017 vintage)\\r\\n\\r\\nWestern Australian winery, Plantagenet is acclaimed internationally for its consistently highly-awarded, quality wines produced from its five vineyards located in the cool climate region of the Great Southern. It is known for its highly aromatic riesling, tangy citrus-tinged chardonnay, exceptional Rhône-style shiraz and superb cabernet sauvignon. The five estate vineyards are overseen by Chief Viticulturist Jordan Ellis whose philosophy is sustainability and remaining true to the terroir of the region.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Real Review \\\u0026quot;Plantagenet is a pioneer of the Great Southern region of Western Australia with vineyards first planted in 1986 and the first commercial winery established in the region. Celebrated for its rich heritage, the winery was until recently owned the Lionel Samson family, the oldest family owned business in Western Australia established in Fremantle in 1829. Plantagenet has five vineyards in the Mount Barker sub region each with the unique characteristics, ancient soils and a cool maritime climate creating expressive wines of provenance, quality \u0026amp; prestige. \\\u0026quot;\\r\\n\\r\\nJames Halliday, Halliday Australian Wine Companion \\\u0026quot;Plantagenet has honed its flagship varieties into a distinct Great Southern wine style; a depth of lively flavour, seamless elegance and natural purity\\\u0026quot;\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Great Southern is emerging as a wine region of international significance and reputation. It is the largest wine growing region in Australia and is the second largest producer of grapes in Western Australia. It is a landscape of forested cliffs and resplendent mountain ranges, grazing pastures and towns steeped in history. The regional climate ranges from the coastal, maritime subregions of Albany and Denmark to the inland, continental subregions of Mount Barker, Porongurup and Frankland River. The predominant soils are similar to those of the Margaret River region - either lateritic gravelly sandy loams (marri country) or sandy loams deriving directly from granite and gneissic bedrocks. Near perfect conditions for grape growing has lured some of the most creative and talented winemakers to call this land their home and become part of its ancient story.\\n\\r\\n1 x Super Nanny Goat Pinot Noir 2020- Otago, New Zealand\\n\\n95\/100 Bob Campbell (2013 vintage)\\r\\n94\/100 Tony Keys (2013 vintage)\\r\\n\\r\\n5 Stars - Michael Cooper's Buyers Guide (2018 vintage)\\r\\nBronze - Air New Zealand Wine Awards, 2017 (2016 vintage)\\r\\nSilver - Air New Zealand Wine Awards, 2016 (2015 vintage)\\r\\nHong Kong International Wine \u0026amp; Spirit Competition 2016 - Gold \u0026amp; Best New Zealand Wine Best Pinot Noir (2015 vintage)\\r\\nSilver - International Wine Challenge 2016 (2014 vintage)\\r\\nGold - NZ International Wine Show 2014 (2013 vintage)\\r\\n\\r\\nAlan Oswald, Winemaker \\\u0026quot;Our 2018 Super Nanny is truly reflective of the 2018 growing season, where Intensely hot and dry conditions necessitated an early harvest. Maintaining vibrancy and balance in the wine was a key consideration, and the decision to pick early is clearly visible in this wine. Bright red berry fruits lifted florals and vibrant acidity complement the more traditional Super Nanny characters of dark plum, cherries and toasted spices. Whilst bright and lively on the palate, there is also a pleasingly dense core of black and blueberry fruits, tightly bound by a fine coil of silky tannin ensuring the persistence of flavour long after the last sip.\\\u0026quot;\\r\\n\\r\\nNanny Goat Pinot Noir comes from the Bannockburn sub-region of Central Otago. As with most vineyards, there is usually a small parcel or two of outstanding quality fruit that outshines the rest.\\r\\n\\r\\nThe Super Nanny is a limited release wine, made from carefully hand-sorted Pinot Noir bunches, wild yeast ferment with a portion of the whole bunch, extended skin contact and 15 months in French Oak.

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.

The chardonnays particularly exemplify that hard-to-achieve balance of pleasurable on release, and capable of graceful ageing. The move towards organics and sustainable farming has had a positive impact on the quality of the wines, and it is a delight to witness so much diversity in the vineyards - from experimental clones and new plantings, to sheep, chickens, olives and vegetables.

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. A wine that should develop well in the bottle\\\u0026quot;\\n\\nJames Suckling \\\u0026quot;There’s a really fragrant kick here with notes of fresh, strawberry and raspberry purée and attractive, spicy lift.

The aromas are fresh and primal, with raw berry and spice aromas with herbal bunchy, stemmy overtones.
