ALTHOUGH its just $10 a bottle, Deakin Estate’s 2010 Shiraz is a wine you can easily put on the table with a meal to impress \u2013 things like oven-baked rack of lamb, or a hearty beef and Guinness pie come quickly to mind.<\/p>\n

Made from fruit from the company’s vineyards in the Murray Darling region of North West Victoria, it’s a wine whose deep and vibrant red colour not only looks good, it tastes good too.<\/p>\n

Winemaker Phil Spillman aged separate parcels of the wine in American and French oak barrels, then brought them together for the resultant blend: rich blueberry characters are to the fore with medium tannins and a lingering finish.<\/p>\n

With its $10 price-tag its worth considering by the case, particularly as its showing plenty of potential to cellar well through until 2016 or so; or enjoy now with that rack of lamb, beef and Guinness pie or even aged sirloin topped with a chimichurri sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
REALLY enjoy this with Moroccan and Asian
dishes, or spiced-up chicken wings and pork ribs.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

ONE FOR LUNCH: EVEN though he has planted just 34-hectares of their 280-hectare fine wool property to grapes, Graeme Shaw and his family have produced some ripper wines from their Shaw Vineyard Estate at Murrumbateman just to the north of Canberra.<\/p>\n

One of their latest is their 2011 Riesling, a wine that shows how Riesling can enjoy life to the full in a cool climate like that around Canberra: this one’s got lovely tropical fruit aromas and a palate of passionfruit and limes, and with Riesling being one of the great food wines \u2013 it’ll match such a diversity of dishes through the whole spectrum from entrees to desserts \u2013 try this one with anything from Moroccan, Asian or Mexican, to spiced up chicken wings or pork ribs.<\/p>\n

Just 300 cases were made, at just $22 a bottle these are sure to be snapped up.<\/p>\n
