Wine Week 100: The four best wines in Australia.
To mark our milestone 100th episode we thought we would have a special episode where we look at the four best wines in Australia. To narrow it down a little we decided to break it up into four categories.
The first category is a white, and unusually for us the top wine is a chardonnay, and not a riesling. It's a great drop from the Margaret River region and will be no shock to anyone being named Australia's best white, especially given the current vintage.
Our next top wine is a cult wine, from a relatively new producer. It's a big, powerful, red from a Barossa producer who has a legion of fans across the globe thanks to some great reviews from the top wine writers. But it's not all about power with this red, as a splash of viognier adds subtlety and grace to the super old shiraz vines.
Of course no list of Australia's top wines would be complete without our next wine. A true icon of Australian winemaking, the name is known across the world. People who don't drink wine know this wine's name and know it's reputation as Australia's finest drop. This red is ideal for cellaring for the long term, and is the wine that so many Australians have celebrated important milestones by opening.
To round things out we thought we would include a wine that is uniquely Australian. The fortified wines of the Rutherglen region are truly distinctive and recognised as singularly exceptional when at their best. Some producers from the region have stock of old wine dating back many generations. Our pick has dipped into some incredibly old wine to offer a blend that is exceptionally rare and worth every dollar of it's high price tag.
