Welcome

Welcome

This is a resource for people who want to buy an interesting bottle of wine on a budget of about $20. If you get lost between Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon and have access to a Dan Murphy's or Vintage Cellars (or Aldi, as of 2015!), you've come to the right place. Where possible, wines are listed with their single-bottle price from DM/VC/A and the winery's home page.

A good place to start is the 'Index', or if you know what type of wine you want, head straight to the 'Recommended Reds', 'Worthy Whites' or 'Stunning Sparklers' that only show 4 & 5☆ wines.

Your experience will be different to everyone else's, which makes wine such a pleasure. The same vintage wine at different ages will be distinct, as will the same aged wines from different vintages. What the glass holds is a unique parcel of time that should be enjoyed as such.

(W) Dopff Au Moulin: Riesling 2011, from Riquewihr, Alsace, France

Smell
Before & after: Mineral with a touch of melon and citrus

Taste
Warm, almost oaky with a tart finish. The ever-present slate is not particularly rich, yet certainly not bland. With legs almost imperceptibly thin, this riesling is incredibly easy to drink, with a touch of honey hiding behind citrus and melon notes.

Price: $14
Quality: ☆☆☆☆
Value:   ☆☆☆☆
