  • Australia's First Families of Wine
    AUSTRALIA’S FIRST FAMILIES OF WINE: CELEBRATING 10 YEARS WITH CHAIRMAN STEPHEN HENSCHKE IN CHINA Media release – for immediate release May 2019 As part of Australia’s First Families of Wine’s (AFFW) commitment to promoting premium wine at home and across the globe, the families are thrilled to be returning to China for a third time next week as part of Wine Australia’s 2019 China Roadshow. In a rapidly changing wine landscape, AFFW is looking forward to continuing to build its profile in China and connecting with key players in the wine trade and media, telling the stories behind each bottle of wine they craft. And as AFFW heads towards its 10th anniversary, their rich stories of longevity, history, provenance and craftsmanship continue to resonate with wine-interested Chinese guests. This will be AFFW’s second trip with Wine Australia to China, an opportunity AFFW Chairman Stephen Henschke says will “strengthen a highly valued relationship” that has been built over many years. “As AFFW, we made our first solo visit to China in 2013, followed by a second visit with Wine Australia last year, in order to help raise the image of Australian wine,” Henschke said. “It’s fascinating to see how rapidly the Chinese market is developing and changing each time we visit. Chinese wine consumers are gaining more confidence as they learn to appreciate wine. AFFW embodies the spirit of historical, multi-generational wine producing families, and with the next generation of AFFW at the fore, they are able to provide the touch points for the younger Chinese wine lovers of which there are many.

    Cape Grim Pasture Fed Beef The pristine pastures and clean air of Tasmania, King Island and Flinders Island provide the perfect environment to grow Cape Grim Beef. With its natural marbling, Cape Grim Beef is guaranteed to be tender, juicy and of the highest eating quality. Cape Grim Beef is completely free of hormone growth promotants and GMOs. Robbins Island Tasmanian Wagyu Featuring impressive marble scores of up to MB9, the taste signature is a unique combination of specific Wagyu genetics, regional pasture influences and specific grain ration that aims to mimic the local flora of Robbins Island. Bred with a low fat melting point, Robbins Island Wagyu has a distinct mouth fell and rich taste. In Japanese, the concept of WA 和 from WAGYU translates to balance or peace. From Robbins Island, Tasmania, a unique taste - in harmony with nature. Bass Strait Pasture Fed Beef Predominately sourced from the regions of Gippsland, Cape Otway, Flinders and king Islands. Bass Strait Beef benefits from being at the latitude 39 degrees south where drenching rain, warming sun and salt-water winds combine to create climatic perfection for growing tender beef. Bass Strait Beef employs a ‘Natural State Hanging Method’ in which all carcases are hung in a way that follows the natural anatomical position of the cattle. A result of this muscle stretching is optimal tenderness. Our selection of premium beef cuts All of our prime cuts of Beef go through a rigorous ageing process. Firstly Cape Grim age the beef for up to six weeks then we Dry Age it on site in our ageing room which takes twenty days or more depending on the cut of meat.

  • Highs and Lows Down Under
    HIGHS AND LOWS DOWN UNDER Australian wines bounce back in 2012 August 31, 2015 with newfound diversity and sophistication By Harvey Steiman Vintage typically plays a secondary role in Australian wine. Since most years are good enough to produce high-performing bottlings, region, grape type and producer more often determine whether a wine is worthy of attention. Midway through this decade, however, the ups and downs of recent years have had a huge effect on quality—and on the wines' individuality. Gary Mills of Jamsheed specializes in crisp, precise Shiraz in cool-climate Victoria. After the 2014 vintage threw him a curveball, he concluded, "We haven't had a nontricky season in some time, so maybe this is becoming the norm." He's not alone in his concern. Michael Twelftree, whose Barossa-based Two Hands produces wines from across South Australia and parts of Victoria, says, "For mine, 2012 and 2014 are classic, 2013 and 2015 ripened a little too quick for me, and if you made good wine in 2011 you're very good at what you do." It's too early to tell if 2014 will be as impressive as Twelftree expects. Of the more than 625 wines reviewed in Wine Spectator since my previous report ("Cabernet on the Rise," Aug. 31, 2014), only about 90 are from that vintage and most are on the value end of the spectrum. But 2012 is a clear standout in our recent reviews, with wines comparable in excellence to the outstanding 2010s. A stunning 50 percent of the nearly 200 wines from 2012 in this report—which includes a significant number of higher-priced, more ambitious bottlings—earned outstanding ratings of 90 or more points on the Wine Spectator 100-point scale.

  • South Australia: Part 1 – Slow Burn Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW the Wine Advocate | June 30, 2016
    South Australia: Part 1 – Slow Burn Lisa Perrotti-Brown MW The Wine Advocate | June 30, 2016 This first part of my two-part annual South Australia report generally covers the northern half of this vast region, focusing mainly on the regions of Clare Valley, Barossa Valley, Eden Valley and Adelaide Hills. This report includes just over 200 tasting notes mainly from wineries that are actively selling internationally. These largely fall into one of three categories: 1) those coming from well- established 30+ year-old wineries that, like their ancient vines, have the quality foundations to weather the vagaries of difficult times (think Henschke, Yalumba, Jim Barry, Elderton, etc.); 2) the 10- to 30-year-old wineries that survived the storm by being not just a cut above the rest, but several cuts above the rest (e.g. Torbreck, John Duval, Glaetzer, and Hentley Farm); and 3) a precious few newcomers that have managed to get overseas representation, because they are seriously impressive (e.g. Powell & Son and Sons of Eden). While the Australia category in major markets around the world seems to be holding its own right now, malingering consumer apathy has resulted in a slow burn for many, many South Australia producers in particular who just can't seem to catch a break. And yet the secrets of the survivors' and seemingly lucky newcomers' successes in the international wine sales scene couldn't be more plain. In a rapidly evolving wine market - where wine faults and vintage- related ripeness/concentration issues are, for the most part, things of the past, it is not good enough to make good or very good wine anymore.
