The biggest downside of have watched the entire back catalog is having to wait a week for the new videos to drop haha! Felt like an eternity, but great stuff as always. Cheers fellas!
Very impressed with Brendan’s educated guesses based off his winemaking knowledge (I think he got one of the grapes in each blend except for the Grenache Gris?). That is some next level sluething! Also, Henry screaming into his glass when he forgot passion fruit aroma is a tell for SB was comedy gold. 😂 This is exactly the content I am here for!
The video quality is stunning, with excellent camera angles, and you all have fantastic personalities that shine through. The format is interesting and refreshing, with three of you having fun while tasting wine and providing some wine education. However, what’s lost for me in the edit is the educational aspect. While the edit is clever, it comes off as erratic and hard to follow. It lacks a clear storyline and a paced flow that allows the viewer to embrace and understand the information being shared. I would love to see more emphasis on wine education and a less frantic pace overall. But overall, it’s a good job and enjoyable to watch. You guys deserve to have a bigger audience. Keep up the good work.
Had an amazing white blend from Austria last week: von der Vogelweide Balztanz Blanc. Grüner Veltliner, Riesling, Müller Thurgau & Frühroter Veltliner. The Riesling popped out of the glass.
As an expat Aussie in Europe - Oz revolutionised wine by putting the grape variety on the label, making it easy for people to understand and remember what type of wine they liked but also kind of making single varietals the go to. In Europe, everything is named after the region, and Spain and France in particular, are dominated by blends - that are really delicious. The answer is both. Both are delicious.
The blended grape wines of Australia are commonly based on worldly classic wine styles, and winemakers showcasing unique grapes and blends. I believe Australian wineries when left to honest winemaking can push the ingenuity boundaries!
Cheers for some great content. Just went to pick up a bottle of Fresh AF to add to the wine tasting im organising with some friends on Friday. Also I cant remember which episode it was, but now my favourite wine is one you have featured in a vid. Clos Cibonne, Tibouren. Keep it up guys :)
Oh thank you so much! That seriously means the world to have that kind of support! It keeps us going! We have a bottle of Clos Cibonne in our lunch-room right now! How fitting!
Love a Shiraz-Viognier blend, but I've never paid that much money for one. My favorite South African producer, Arabella, does one for like $15 US which is delicious.
One thing that i didnt get was the fact that by blending in viognier(white variety) into syrah(red variety), the colour is getting darker not brighter. Did i understand that right? Why is it like that? Great content as always, kudos from germany!!
@@michaelboegle1194 typically it’s because the amount of viognier is so minsicule that it doesn’t change the colour typically 1% to 5% at the very most and also depends on if it’s been co-fermented or blended as finished wine
There's actually a scientific reason for this - non-pigmented phenolics within the Viognier skins bond to side-groups of the anthocyanin pigment of Syrah - and these complexes remain soluble in the wine, rather than dropping out - as they would in a 100% Syrah-based ferment.
Anyone who says blends cant be good have never had a Languedoc GSM 😊. I would be so interested to try Alexander die Grossen the Grosses gewächs pinot noir blend from Jean Stodden.
What is Stodden blending the Pinot noir with? Didn't think Großes Gewächs ever was a blend... And if anyone ever says that blends can't be good, just point to Lafite, Margaux, Haut-Brion et al.
@@mikaelplaysguitar IIRC it's a blend they made from the surviving 2020 Pinot Noir GG material after the Flood. It in itself is not GG (cause it's not single vinyard) but its the GG material from those GG vinyards
@@Sayu277 I see, so not a blend of grapes, but a blend of vineyards. Similar to "Geheimrat J" or "7 Terroirs", or perhaps most similar to "Mes cinq terroirs" but with a very different background story.

Haha! LOVE this! Thank you so much!! We're working on a few things so we can upload multiple times a week, just some experimental stuff - vlog etc.
@@zacjordan614 get your WFTP crack fix early, fresher iOS always better!
Bahaha!

Oh thank you so much! Love this feedback too! Have you been following the channel for a while?
Great video, 2022 was a very wet year in Murrumbateman ,what impact would that have on the wines?
Well that really depends on the vineyard, the variety and the viticulture!

Interesting - it's amazing how some varieties seem to be so dominant, irrespective of their blending amount!

Delicious wine is delicious irrespective of the labelling - the trick is navigating the sea of labels isn't it?!

100% Agree!

The Clonakilla is my favorite wine from Australia. Hard to find here in Canada but when I do it's worth every penny
It's a stunning wine - and we encountered it so young! It needed so much more time!
blue poles!! hell yeah
They're hectic wines!
Love a Shiraz-Viognier blend, but I've never paid that much money for one. My favorite South African producer, Arabella, does one for like $15 US which is delicious.
lots of times they will just be labeled as Syrah, as the viognier content is quite low.
We NEED to get more South African wines in Australia to review!
Hmm interesting - in this sense, a single-variety on the label might have more commercial reality?
Our possums are fire!
LOL! Bollocks!
There is a disturbing amount of Viognier on that table...scary stuff. Stay safe out there folks.
It's Viognier coming back?!
What a bracket, missed opportunity by Different Drop not to stitch yourselves up with a Unico blend!
Aaaah they've done that before!

@@mikaelplaysguitar basically yes😊
This is true! Although what about price? Are people paying $200+ for Languedoc GSM? Does price = good? Too many questions!
