Tried a sneak peak of the Polygon 22, totally agree, absolutely amazing! Unfortunately I've struggled with reductive wines across their range in my last two visits to the cellar door, without it, great wines. I definitely recommend the Paralian 21 grenache (42$) for a Grenache under 50$.
Hello. Wine newbie here. I noticed that your (Au/NZ) wines seem to have more non natural corks than I'm used to seeing. I Googled it and a whole cork rabbit hole appeared of course :) Looks like there might be a tendency towards returning to natural cork in your region, and some major producers even said that they returned because the screw cap lowered the quality of their wine. This is contrary to what I've been taught. Now I'm wondering what an Aussie wine nerd thinks. Cheers,
@@erinlarkin I binge watched a slew of your videos as part of my newfound interest in wine and asked a series of questions on different videos, not really thinking of how busy and hard working you must be. Please don't feel obligated to get through any more, you'd spare me the notion of having been unrealistic and inconsiderate. I apologize. And if this response annoys you, kindly observe if you will, that the question in the above post is clear. You're just going too fast :) Kind regards from Norway.
I love grenache, but what's with the corks? I thought we'd gotten past this. And selling grenache for more than $100 is an act of treachery here in South Australia. Plenty of brlliant grenache for less than $50. Hat's off to Bekkers and Thistledown and Aphelion. If you want decent grenache from the Barossa, see Tim Smith.
@@erinlarkin Yes, that one for sure, will look out for it! Ever since I visited Mclaren and Barossa, i am a big Grenache fan, also went to the right places after watching your videos ;)
