| Reviews | 94 points Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine CompanionFrom the Yangarra vineyard whole-bunch pressed with 60 fermented in steel and the balance in neutral and third-fill French oak barriques and a new Stockinger hogshead. Poached apple Packham pear fresh ginger custard apple melon quince unripe nectarine a little brown spice. Its open and textural marshalled by the oak component and fine phenolics to give this a dryly invigorating finish. 93 points Ryan Montgomery for James SucklingAromas of lemon peel grapefruit stone fruit chalk and fresh flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with nice intensity and focused acidity. Salty citrusy and textured. Drink or hold. Screw cap.92 points Gary Walsh for The Wine FrontGrenache Blanc from the Yangarra Vineyard. Pear honeydew melon some aromatic herbs and spice. Its a gently chalky affair with some pithy bitterness pear and again that perfume of herbs a little bit waxy too and finishes quite dry with grip and a slightly saline aftertaste. Nice wine. A textural style.92 points David Sly for DecanterAs a leader among the first Australian producers to embrace Grenache Blanc Rob Mack captures textural muscle in the complex mid-palate giving a roiling mouthfeel to the long luscious flavours. Pithy citrus notes signal a long clean acid line that supports lively fruit notes of fresh pear over Fuji apple all through to a finish that tingles gentle spice. More complex than youd suspect and likely to develop nicely from mid-term cellaring. |

Tasting Notes
Intense and vibrant fruit character aromatics mingle with citrus and spice. A textural edge provides a food friendly aspect and cinnamon and nutmeg spice complement the nashi pear and stone fruit flavours.
Winemakers Notes
To me the Callow calls out to be enjoyed with oysters kingfish or whiting. It is elegant inviting and aromatic - Louise Rhodes Mack Co-Founder

Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines.
I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked.
And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge.
You have a customer for life!
Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it.
Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question.
All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.
