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).

De Bortoli NSW Noble One Botrytis Semillon (1997)

This wine shimmers a brilliant gold colur in the glass. The bouquet is a complex amalgam of peach, candied citrus, tea leaves, mint and spicy toasty oak. The palate is luscious, honeyed, sweet and long with tangy acidity keeping everything fresh. A great wine to serve with soft cheeses and ripe figs. (Reviewed by The Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2000-2001)

Charles Melton Wines Sotto di Ferro (1999)

A lip-smacking, luscious and opulent dessert style with toasty nut and sweet stewed stone fruits on the nose and rich macerated apricots on the palate. Great apricot nectar length on the palate. Firmer acid in this Sotto di Ferro compared to the '98 but with more than enough sweetness to act on its own as a very rich dessert. (Reviewed by Charles Melton Wines Newsletter, Spring 2001)
