We’ve collected a quartet of trophies from the Canberra and Region Wine Show held in Canberra this week. The Tiger Tiger Chardonnay 2021 was awarded Best Chardonnay, the Lamp Lit Marsanne 2019 was awarded Best Dry White – Other Varieties, and the Lantern Red 2019 was awarded both the trophy for Best Dry Red – Other Varieties, and the Chair’s Trophy...
What a thrill it was to read Jancis Robinson's review of the Tiger Tiger Chardonnay over the weekend.
In a feature on wines from the Tumbarumba wine region - just south of Canberra - she said, "I was hugely impressed by some of the wines, especially the Chardonnays."
We sit down with Alex McKay and talk wine. Here, Alex talks about his longstanding interest in Italian varietals, why sangiovese is so well-suited to the Canberra region, and the evocative and expressive wines it can make.
It is a pleasure to be awarded Star Cellar Door and Best Small Cellar Door in the Gourmet Traveller Wine Cellar Door Awards. While our cellar door is closed for the moment, we look forward to welcoming you when we reopen.
