I use this wine key: Forge de Laguiole Ebony
I have used this glass in this Video: Nude Stem Zero Elegant Red Wine
I have tasted the following wines in this Video:
2022 The Gentle Folk Monomeith Pinot Noir, Adelaide Hills, Australia - 48 USD
www.wine-searcher.com/find/th...
2022 Joshua Cooper Shay's Flat Cabernet Sauvignon, Pyrenees, Australia - 60 USD
www.wine-searcher.com/find/jo...
2022 Agricola Vintners, Flaxman Valley, Barossa Valley, Australia - 80 USD
2022 Dr. Edge Chardonnay, Tasmania, Australia
www.wine-searcher.com/find/dr...
2022 Sherrah Fiano, McLaren Vale, Australia
www.wine-searcher.com/find/sh...
2022 Koerner 'Pigato - Vermentino' Gullyview Vineyard, Clare Valley, Australia
www.wine-searcher.com/find/ko...
The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
A while ago, I made a video about Australian wine, and it was ok, but I didn’t get to include many of the new and exciting producers from down under. Those wines can be difficult to source in Europe, but that fact did not stop me.
I reached out to my friends from Wine for the People. One of the best wine KZfaq channels out there and these three guys are deeply involved in the Australian wine industry. They have selected six wines and sent them over for me to taste blind … So let's Veg out and see what Ripper wines my ‘Ozzie’ mates have put together Reckon!

Hello Konstantin, I look forward to your clips on Sunday afternoons CET. They are informative and entertaining. I wonder whether you would consider a more in depth presentation on the wines of Alto-Adige or South Tyrol in English, exploring Bordeaux wines that offer great value for money, and the wines of lesser known French areas like the Languedoc and the Southwest. I would also suggest a segment on what factors you look for determine age worthiness of wines from tasting young wines. Thank you for considering these ideas. Greetings from Switzerland.

@benhall9321 5 ай бұрын

Thanks Konstantin for another great video. Great to see Australia featured and some really interesting choices at that. The wines chosen are representative of certain trends in the Australian market. I would love you to do a feature on high end Australian wines or even focusing on one grape - Chardonnay. Right not Australia is making so many superb Chardonnays from different regions. While Australia is still (largely erroneously) known for making rich, buttery Chardonnays, mostly it is making medium bodied Chardonnays. Australia went through a period when it was arguably making too many lean examples, and has since found a happy balance between fresh acidity, good fruit and complexity.

Maybe not for worldwide consumption, because everybody wants to see a La Tache.😊😊 Or a Petrus. But Tasmania has some extraordinary wines, especially whites and sparkling.

The trend for lighter, more delicate wines, made with low intervention can be found in places like South America, South Africa and USA as well. Also the winemakers pioneering that trend could really use a boost in attention, because their wines are still pretty hard to source. Cheers!

Interesting that you point out the positives of early picked grapes. The Oz wine industry got farked sideways when Parker gave 100s to high alcohol beasts like Grange that were from heirloom vineyards. We've had 30 years of bulk produced, late picked & over-extracted & over-oaked copycat Shiraz & Cab Sav driving the market & style of low character, high alcohol & high tannin wines from a corporate industry that buys out historic brands to shift bulk wine. Which contradicted the Oz clean & sunshine driven 1980s-1990s wines that heralded the Renaissance & maturity of Oz wine industry. It's almost impossible to find a commercial table wine under 13% a/v, even those independents that used to produce powerful & elegant 12.5% reds. Bravo to the Garagists & Mavericks!

Just came back from a wine trip in Tasmania because I prefer more elegant wine style. Most are very light and med-high acid. Quite a few are low intervention, esp in small wineries. On the other hand, a few increase their appeal by 100% malolactic conversion (but could have gone too far). I thought they were too light for me. On the way back at the airport, i had a mainland aussie wine. Bam, the mainland one was just too bold for my palate after a week of gentle tassie wine. Now tassie wines are still on my radar. They are light and refreshing, not austere. The better ones have structure. The length is short to medium. Whites are more interesting than reds. As vines get older it will only get better. Anything older than 30 is old vine in Tasmania. Their prices are higher than mainland aussie wines because they are not mass produced. Glaetzer-dixon, holm oak, are nice Spring gate makes funky wines Did not have a chance to try Stefano or Tolpuddle.

There has certainly been a movement in Australia away from what you're calling the "Classic Australian" Cabernet Sauvignon, much the same as Shiraz. This country has been pigeon holed as a place that focuses on 14%+ bold reds for so long, with some Barossa offerings getting to 15%+, that a lot of producers have gone in the complete opposite direction - lots of orange wines, pet nats and so on. I'm glad this video focuses more on that. Great stuff!

The difficulty of this is the definition of 'good' - while I have no doubt your wines are good (great, in fact!) - the definition of 'good' in Australia is changing. Particularly as we're a very warm country, who's diet is exceptionally seafood-heavy with asiatic influences - those big, alcoholic wines are simply not relevant or considered 'good' within Australia - so they no longer represent our country, culture & terroir. I can only speak to Australian winemakers - but in effect, they simply can't sell the wine anymore, and are going out of business. @@pilsplease7561

The new wave Aussie wines are quite refreshing and enjoyable & a welcome break from sometimes bulky and overly alcoholic wines from Down Under. I had a few while I lived in Asia and they were much fresher and lighter than the stereotypical Australian wine. Italian cultivars seem to do particularly well with the drier and warmer climate and show quite well. But yes getting these types of wines in Europe is very difficult unless someone from there sends them to you or you go to Australia to buy them.

Eucalyptus in the glass comes from sloppy work in the vineyard. It tastes around 2-3 leaves per Nally bin ( about half a ton) to be detectable. The amount in the air that precipitates onto berries is minor in comparison. When machine harvested the leaves and small branches that often end up falling , being carried on the wind and landing in a vine, end up pulverised and make their way into the must. Somewhere like the blue mountains might be different but in places like the Coonawarra it’s primarily MOG

This is exactly what we get taught, I've actually seen the study where they tested the rate in which leaves impact ferments. It's 💯 spot on.

@@BrenCarter_WFTP yeah I’ve read the awri report and watched one of their seminars on it huge impact but it’s the story the industry sells

It's actually really hard to battle - if leaves get lodged in the rachis before veraison, the grapes swell up and essentially hide the leaf - so even hand-harvested grapes get stung by it. @@Ralphgtx280

I'd like to see something on Trollinger, if I spelled corekt😅.. Tasted one with a German friend and we had takeaway crispy duck wi the usual bits and it slipped down like a good 'un.. Like me, Stephan was not rich so I'm guessing these can be affordable. Dredge or Dr. Edge has to be the coolest name EVER. As Oscar Wilde said, "I wish I'd said that".. (unfortunately for the poet, his interlocutor, Lady Halifax I think, came right back at him with "You will, Oscar, you will.." Which is PRICELESS. 😂 Special thanks to all at Wine For The People, I wasn't aware of the channel til now. The point about the presence of eucalyptus in Aussie wine, and the wider subject of terroir is so fascinating. A video on 'One Non-vinous Substance (plant or mineral presumably) As Terroir Influence On 6 Popular Wine Styles (succinct title or WHAT?) is a thing I'd enjoy. Nice one Konstantin! Cheers. 🍷🍷🍷🌟👍

Wine styles swing like a pendulum. Currently in Australia the Chardonnays have become so lean that you may as well buy a Chablis or even Riesling in their place. Waiting for a redress of trend...
