MANY of us tend to categorise Australia’s regions and wine varieties without too much thought to the possibilities of those regions throwing up a few surprises with varietals out of the norm.<\/p>\n

And a surprise out of the norm is exactly what Evans & Tate have achieved with their Redbrook Shiraz 2007: this one’s from Western Australia’s Margaret River \u2013 a region\u00a0 long renowned for Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay \u2013 and when their winemaker, Matthew Byrne decided to look outside the square, he came up with a winner with this Shiraz.<\/p>\n

First made in 2004, this label took just a year to stamp its mark on our wine scene, with the 2005 taking out no fewer than six trophies at the 2008 Sydney Royal Wine Show.
\"\"<\/a>
And the just-released 2007 has already garnered four Gold Medals, which is little wonder: this is a wine of wonderfully-balanced\u00a0 Shiraz fruit intensity with aromas of mulberry, plum fruits and black pepper that surge out of the glass, and follow through beautifully on the palate.<\/p>\n

At $39.95 this is one to offer guests with a juicy sirloin steak and oven-baked smashed garlic potatoes.<\/p>\n

ONE FOR LUNCH: Cumulus Estate’s Rolling label is making an enviable name for itself with wines from NSW’s Central Ranges, and created by a team led by Senior Winemaker, Debbie Lauritz.<\/p>\n

Their 2009 Rolling Sauvignon Blanc Semillon is one such drop for those who like this popular blending: the two varietals were picked and cool-temperature fermented separately, and after fermentation blended 70-30 to get the best of fruit flavour, freshness and mouth feel. Pay $17.95 and enjoy with pan-fried crumbed whiting fillets, chunky wedges and salad.<\/p>\n
