Sample Wine Reviews

Thankyou for visiting the verymuchgrape wine site.

Our key aim is to record all Australian and New Zealand vineyards and wines and provide details of each - including your opinions on wines you have tasted.

If you would like to leave a review of your recent tastings simply use the Database Search pages to find the relevant wine and then follow the simple instructions.

We hope you find the site useful - we are adding records all the time and are always happy to hear of any updates.

In coming weeks we will be adding further functionality so please check back with us from time to time!

Our Database....

We have developed a database that we believe contains most of the vineyards and wines of Australia and New Zealand.

Better yet we have developed a series of search tools to give you complete access to all our records - free and easy.

Grant Burge Barossa Vines Shiraz (1999)

While the aim has been to produce a fruit-driven dry red that is immediately soft and drinkable, this wine has the structure to cellar well for at least five years. The bouquet shows lifted shiraz spiciness and dark berryfruit characters, and oak flavours that are well integrated. The rich berryfruit characters continue on to the palate, with the oak adding complexity and the soft, fleshy characters surrounding a backbone of firm tannin. (Reviewed by Grant Burge)

Summit Estate Stanthorpe Wine Company Emily Rose (2000)

Unusual blend of two white grapes (Chardonnay and Semillon) and two red grape varieties (Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon). Distinct vanilla and caramel flavours with cinnamon and nutmeg finish. Perfect chilled with salad and cold meats or with stir-fry or spice foods. Drink now. (Reviewed by The Winemaker)

Coldstream Hills Reserve Pinot Noir (1997)

There are some fantastic pinots coming out of the Yarra Valley from the 1997 vintage. This one is slightly ahead of its compatriots because of some lovely oak and cellaring potential. (Reviewed by Vogue Entertaining, Nov 1998)
