Churton

March 30, 2016 "Around The World in 80 Wines"

We visited Churton Wines in Malborough and took in some great views from where the team were harvesting. Sam and Mandy Weaver are the people behind Churton and set things up in 1997.

Our favourite wine we tasted here was the Sauvignon Blanc 2014.

Margaret River

Stella Bella

February 19, 2016 "Around The World in 80 Wines"

Our first Australian winery visit took place at Stella Bella Wines in the Margaret River which is around 3 hours drive south of Perth on the South Western Australian coast.

We did an interview with winemaker, Luke Joliffe, at the Karridale winery and then visited the cellar door just outside the town of Margaret River. The next day we shot some film at a Chardonnay block in the early hours of the morning.

Our favourite wine from the eight we tried at the cellar door was the Stella Bella Sauvignon Blanc 2015. A high refreshing acidity but good balance with lots of passion fruit and a touch of floral notes and green fruits. A very good Sauvignon Blanc for the price range.
