Rosé is a new addition to Taylors Wines’ Promised Land range. Much like grapevines, seahorses are a vital “indicator species” that demonstrate early the impact of climate change. It is fitting then that Taylors Wines should choose not only to feature the seahorse on the label for its new-look Promised Land range but also to donate a percentage of every sale to the global marine conservation organisation, Project Seahorse. According to the folk at Project Seahorse, by getting it right for seahorses, such as setting up marine protected areas, reining in bad fishing practices, and regulating wild ..read more

It’s a wine that connoisseurs like to collect and cellar, it’s netted a string of awards over the years (including the prestigious Jimmy Watson trophy), and it was the creation of a visionary Barossa Valley winemaker, the late Peter Lehmann. This year marks the 30th vintage of Stonewell Shiraz and to celebrate, Peter Lehmann Wines is hosting a number of exclusive experiences at its cellar door in Tanunda. T ..read more

Pewsey Vale Vineyard, in South Australia’s Eden Valley, is dedicated solely to Riesling. Why do wine writers and serious wine drinkers love Riesling? Perhaps because it, more than any other variety, can produce such a range of styles, from dry and austere, to semi-sweet or luscious dessert wines. Also appealing is that it ages so gracefully in the bottle. Connoisseurs often appreciate both young and mature Riesling, enjoying it while it is young and fresh, and relishing the lovely toasty characters it develops after years of cellaring. And finally, Australian Riesling represents great value fo ..read more

Tohu Wines is part of Kono, a Māori, whānau-owned company based in Te Tauihu, the top of the South Island. The French call it terroir — a sense of place.
