Brad's Wine Subscription Tasting Notes - February 2023
”I have been inspired to work with small, family-owned wineries because in my experience, they produce the best value wines that you can find. These wines are hand-crafted - they have a story about where they are from and how they are made - and it is these wines that I send out every month to our subscribers, wines with beautiful details that I enjoy sharing with people."

Enticing pale straw in colour, the sweet and creamy bouquet is fragrant with honey, herbs and citrus with notes of toasty vanilla. It possesses a lovely, well-balanced depth of soft, creamy, melon fruit and toasted oak, and comes to a sumptuous conclusion with a long, dry finish. This wine can be cellared for up to three years. Try this one with chargrilled seafood.

Vivid, pale pink. Floral, stone fruit and fresh on the nose, with scents of wild strawberry, raspberry, and redcurrant. Spicy and lively, the red fruit flavours show good intensity and excellent clarity. Expands and gains power through the finish, with bright acids providing a firm, bright finish.
