Reviews JAMES HALLIDAY 96 POINTS These flagship First Drop wines from the superb 21 vintage are really quite something. Such beautifully pure and plush fruit is on display. Cassis plum conserve blueberry and boysenberry. All dense and weighty with wonderfully judged oak lending light cedar creamy spice and form. This ones got a real blackforest cake sort of richness the tannins powdery and showing ample volume the wine super opulant yet showing freshness and impressive balance. Cellar worthy for sure. - Dave Brookes

Winemakers Notes
The Cream is crafted by selecting the finest barrels from our Fat of the Land vineyards and blending them into a single complete expression of Barossa Shiraz. Extended maturation in French oak builds depth texture and complexity while the outstanding 2021 vintage delivers balance purity and structure. This is a wine made to impress now and reward patience for years to come.
Food Pairings
Best enjoyed with premium cuts of beef slow-cooked lamb rich game dishes truffle-based cuisine or aged hard cheeses. Equally suited to contemplative drinking on its own.

J Mason
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
Richard A.
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.
Cheers,
Richard A.

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
Judy M.
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,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Good afternoon from Seattle!

Thank you both!

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,
George

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.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.
Regards,

Jerry K.
Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.

Thanks very much for the heads up. Your shipping service has resulted in 100% of the bottles arriving intact and in perfect condition to date. Much appreciated. Looking forward to this last shipment as well. Will be sure to use your service on my next trip.
Thanks again.

Wanted you to know that the wine arrived in my office today! I am way past impressed at how quickly the shipment got here. The next time I get to Australia, I won't hesitate to ship more wine back to the States.
Best regards,
