Devilishly Good Wine - 27 August 2003 |
Today (27/8/03) on the Dublin Life show on News Talk 106 FM, after the 3pm
news, Martin will be discussing cider but that doesn't mean we haven't got
a wine of the week or two. We have, they're from Tasmania.
I'm tasting samples for the 2004 edition
of the Winerepublic annual guide and of the many wines I've gargled this
week, one producer that particularly caught my eye was Tamar Ridge from
Tasmania. This island drifting off the south coast easily has coolest
climate of any wine producing region in Australia. It's positively green
and European by comparison to the mainland. Tamar
Ridge Unwooded Chardonnay 2001 89/100, €15 - 16.00 is a
wonderful OZ meets Chablis style with mineral character and zesty orange
and peach fruit while its sibling Tamar
Ridge Riesling 2002 91/100, €17-18.00 has similar
mineral character but livelier zesty citrus character and knocks spots off
most Alsace Grand Crus. Don't know yet who retails it but importers are
TDL (01 413 0100).
