Grant Burge Summers Chardonnay Barossa Valley, Australia

Love the hazelnut richness and green apple vibrancy that mingle on the nose of this wine! The palate is a rush of white peach, nectarine and nutmeg with refreshing lime acidity on the finish. I love the back story on this wine: it was named in honour of the winery’s accountant of 30 years, Miles Summers. His sun will never set with this wine. Food matches: roast chicken, lobster in butter, corn dishes. Drink: 2012 – 2014 269829 13.5% D 750 ml $19.95 Score: 91/100.

 

Grant Burge Miamba Shiraz Barossa Valley, Australia

Lots of toasty oak and black fruit on the nose. Full-bodied, smooth and savoury. A long, satisfying finish with dark spices and black pepper. Drink: 2012 – 2021 284091  14% XD 750 ml $21.95 Score: 90/100.
