Sample Wine Reviews

Thankyou for visiting the verymuchgrape wine site.

Our key aim is to record all Australian and New Zealand vineyards and wines and provide details of each - including your opinions on wines you have tasted.

If you would like to leave a review of your recent tastings simply use the Database Search pages to find the relevant wine and then follow the simple instructions.

We hope you find the site useful - we are adding records all the time and are always happy to hear of any updates.

In coming weeks we will be adding further functionality so please check back with us from time to time!

Our Database....

We have developed a database that we believe contains most of the vineyards and wines of Australia and New Zealand.

Better yet we have developed a series of search tools to give you complete access to all our records - free and easy.

Simply click here to try it out. We can also build custom reports upon request (for a small charge).

Penfolds Koonunga Hill Shiraz Cabernet (2001)

Save a few dollars and buy the Rawsons Retreat instead (Reviewed by HG)

Grant Burge Barossa Vines Shiraz (1999)

While the aim has been to produce a fruit-driven dry red that is immediately soft and drinkable, this wine has the structure to cellar well for at least five years. The bouquet shows lifted shiraz spiciness and dark berryfruit characters, and oak flavours that are well integrated. The rich berryfruit characters continue on to the palate, with the oak adding complexity and the soft, fleshy characters surrounding a backbone of firm tannin. (Reviewed by Grant Burge)

Penfolds Rawsons Retreat Chardonnay (1999)

Just goes to show Penfolds have the resources to make whatever they want for whatever price they want - for the price this is unbelievable! (Reviewed by TT)
