‘The Great Trans-Tasman Red Wine Challenge’

New Zealand Winegrowers, Fuseworks September 20, 2011, 9:49 am

 

New Zealand Winegrowers injected some old fashioned rivalry in 'The Great Trans-Tasman Red Wine Challenge' on Friday before Australia's biggest pool game against Ireland in Auckland.

New Zealand and Australia resumed their trans-Tasman rivalry as the two sides met head-to-head in the wine equivalent of the Bledisloe Cup.

 

Each nation was represented by fifteen wines; eight forwards (Syrah/Shiraz) and seven backs (Pinot Noir) selected by team captains. Teams consisted of four judges and were headed up by a well-known wine personality from each nation. Noted New Zealand expert Bob Campbell MW represented the Kiwis with Cameron Douglas MS, Corey Hall (The Gemwine Company), and Simon Nunns (Coopers Creek), whilst wine writer and critic James Halliday led the Australians into battle with Australian sommeliers Andrew Philpot, Patrick White and Matt Sweiboda.

 

The eight team members participated in a blind tasting on Friday morning to score each wine. The wines with the highest points made the 'First XV' selection and were unveiled at a media tasting in the NZ2011 Business Club Lounge in The Cloud on Queen's Wharf.

The pre-match warm up was well contested, but New Zealand wines rose to the occasion and dominated the tasting with five out of the seven top backs (Pinot Noir) and four of the eight top forwards (Syrah/Shiraz) crowning New Zealand wine as King of the Reds!

New Zealand team captain, Bob Campbell MW, comments: "It was a very strong line-up of wines from both sides of the Tasman. It was no surprise to see New Zealand win the Pinot Noir section but I was particularly pleased to see us hold our own against the Australian Shiraz, which is that country's signature grape variety. It's worth noting that Australia has 45,000 hectares of Shiraz while New Zealand has less than 300 hectares of the variety."

Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2010

Normal $35.80  OFFER $30.43 (incl. GST)

Sam Kim Wine Orbit 5 stars & 93 Pts - "You can see why this is one of the most popular Sauvignons, as it delivers loads of tasty flavours. The nose is ripe and fragrant with a lovely combination of ripe stonefruit and feijoa with lime and herbaceous characters. It's succulent and full-flavoured on the palate with beautifully harmonised acidity, leaving the palate refreshed and wanting more". Wine Spectator: Wonderfully fleshy with peach, apple, nectarine and citrus flavours that are ripe, lush and very refreshing. The details linger on the finish. 90 Pts. Nick Stock The Age/Sydney Morning Herald 91 Pts.

Normal $54.90  OFFER $46.67 (incl. GST)

Pungent aromatics of ripe gooseberry, passionfruit and grapefruit pith, with a concentrated and layered palate of currants, tropical fruit and subtle minerality - leading to a lingering lime finish. Excellent balance of fruit and acidity with a hint of chalky textured complexity providing elegance and length.

93/100 Bob Campbell "From the Awatere Valley and showing typical grassy, tomato leaf and mineral characters. Robust wine with lovely juicy acidity and a lengthy finish. Richly textured Sauvignon with impressive weight. Should

develop well."

The best Peppertree Vineyard Shiraz to date."  2012 Edition of James Halliday's Australian Wine Companion.

Wild raspberry and plum fruit aromas with spice characterise the wine, with a little vanillin from oak barrels. This is a result of fully ripened fruit under temperate conditions. Malbec adds dept weight and spice to the wine. The texture is firm but supple, and the wine is elegant, with a great persistence of the wild berry and licorice flavours on the finish.
