8 WINEDOMINION AUTUMN 2019 WINEDOMINION AUTUMN 2019 9 There was a time, not so long ago, when the mention of sauvignon blanc in Australia almost exclusively referred to the steamrolling Marlborough savvy juggernaut. Marlborough sauvignon blanc has flooded the local market and dominated the sales figures for over three Home Grown decades , capitalising on Australian drinkers’ thirst for something different, at a time where the first wave of chardonnay fashion fell out of favour, and the great traditional varieties such as semillon and riesling had fallen into the ‘uncool’ or ‘misunderstood’ categories. Over the last decade or so, Australian sauvignon blanc has gathered a vast local following, with wines which are riper, softer, more elegant and food-friendly than their trans-tasman counterparts. The over-the-top grassiness, sweat and uber-acidity eventually gave many a Marlborough savvy drinker severe palate fatigue. Margaret River and Adelaide Hills have been the major movers in top-shelf Aussie savvy, with classic drink-now unwooded styles leading the way, but with a surge in complex, textural, barrel- CRISP - DRY - REFRESHING fermented styles which can improve with cellaring. Here is a small selection of some of the top Australian savvys.

21 WINEDOMINION AUTUMN 2019 WINEDOMINION AUTUMN 2019 22 It’s a household name TWO OF OUR GREATEST-EVER SHIRAZ DEALS

After over a century of producing stellar wines exclusively from their 'home' region in the Hunter Valley, one of Australia's most prominent family producers made their first wine from Heathcote in 1997, having long admired the wines from this famous Victorian region. Wine critic John Fordham says this "decision to source shiraz from Victoria's Heathcote region two decades ago has been vindicated many times over. Selling for $25 at cellar door, Kemenys price is only $9.95.

After pleading with this famous wine producer, we have been given the green light to sell their Hunter Valley estate shiraz for the same incredibly low price. Just ask for Secret Label Hunter Valley Shiraz 2016 (KSL 6549) and you will receive the wine, also wearing the producer’s label, for only $9.95. Like the Secret Label Heathcote Shiraz, it currently sells for $25 at cellar door. James Halliday is an admirer, noting that “it is indelibly stamped with Hunter structure and savour. Bravo!...this is enjoyable now but will be a surprise after some bottle age”. Hunter Valley shiraz, whilst having excellent depth of fruit flavours, is typically medium bodied and elegant, which makes a fascinating juxtaposition with their richer, bolder Heathcote expression. We suggest that you grab some of both to compare and contrast.
