Hi all, This episode’s a pretty big one. The topic for a start is a belter - Torbreck is one winery everyone should be familiar with (even if it’s just with their entry level wines). This relatively young Barossa label is certainly a defining force for Australian Shiraz on the world stage. The audio for [...]

OWS#9 brings the final episode in the Sydney Royal Wine Show twin-pack. Probably our biggest show yet! There’s 3 interviews and 2 bottle reviews and I must apologise for the delay.

Here's the second and final part of our coverage of the Exhibition of Victorian Winemakers. It was a stellar event and worth checking out next year.

Listen Now:

The interviews this episode include Roy Moorfield, who founded the event 27 years ago and Keppell Smith, owner and winemaker at Savaterre. These guys were most accommodating with being interviewed on the spur of the moment and both are clearly very passionate about what they do. Keppell produces some fantastic wine and I highly recommend adding yourself to his mailing list. Savaterre's production and distribution are limited but the mailing list is a direct way to access the coming releases.

OzWineShow #5 features an interview with Mark Baulderstone who is VP of Riedel Glas for Asia Pacific and Middle East. Listen in for an in depth tasting of the same wine from three different glasses.

So sit yourself down, grab some glasses resembling those pictured below, pop a nice bot and taste along to see for yourself.
