| Reviews | 94 points Marcus Ellis for Halliday Wine Companion7030 Clarendon and Blewitt Springs 40 whole bunch in steel and concrete elevage in cocciopesto concrete egg and seasoned French 2800L foudre and demi-muid. A warmer year than the few prior but not by a lot. Sour cherry pomegranate rhubarb amaro herbs Campari dried orange and rosehip tea with a sinewy savouriness running through it. Medium weighted and equipped with fine sandy tannin and crisp but not brisk acidity. Its a fine release. 4 August 202593 points Campbell Mattinson for The Wine FrontThis is excellent. Great drinking. Murky in a good way. Strings of tannin. Grenache leaning in to pinot noir not just in style but in flavour. Meaty dry sweet-sour floral all those things. Ozone is a good call.92 points Gary Walsh for The Wine FrontA blend of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon Grenache. I like the word confluence. It puts me in mind of school and geography but also the last part of the word fluence was used by my Mum as in That person is putting the fluence on you Its not something you hear much. AI provided a surprisingly good definition Putting the fluence on someone is a British English idiom that means to exert a subtle often mystical influence over a person. It suggests a manipulation or charm that can be difficult to resist.Reviews of The Fluence can be found HERE. It has a fine track record. Raspberry cranberry pomegranate a steelyozone top note some dried flower perfume. Its medium-bodied strawberry and raspberry a little youthful jubey character light grip of pumice stone tannin a crispness to acidity some orange peel bite with a bright finish of good length. Nice. |

Tasting Notes
Vibrant red with purple hues in the glass. A savoury core presents with olive and briar. Crunchy raspberry and cranberry come to the fore with some air. On the palate Satsuma plum wild strawberry and fine sandalwood dominate with fine tannins giving the wine exemplary length. The palate shows great intensity and concentration without being heavy or cloying. A wine that shows great aging potential and which will continue to evolve over time.
Winemakers Notes
Stunningly balanced and wildly good value the Confluence is the coming together of select parcels of Grenache in McLaren Vale - Louise Rhodes Mack Co-Owner Aphelion
Food Pairings
Pan seared duck matches the spice and body of the wine well. The mushroom characters of a quality Camembert or washed rind cheese will complement the wines flavours and wont dominate its delicate structure.

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.
Highest regards,

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.
