Assortages, Sept/Oct

[Skeeter]

A lot of the '04 SB's have been spectacular... with the occasional dud for good measure, of course. The top at the Bragato Awards (The kiwi win industrys' top honour) was Amor-Bedalls' "Limited Edition" SB... made from grapes harvested from a neglected, overgrown patch of vineyard. I tried it from a bottle opened two days before, and it was STILL incredible. Probably not enough to export it, though.)

Matua Valley (Where I work at weekends) picked up champion White for our '03 Botrytised Reisling. Not a lot left, and they'll be less if I can save up enough for a case... I LIKE sweet wines. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/smile.gif[/img]
