We’re excited to bring you The Real Review’s Top Value Wine survey for 2023. All our Top Value wines are priced at AUD $25 or less, and have an especially good relationship between price and score. You'll see that riesling is once again the leading value for money white wine in Australia. There are four gold ribbon scores and 33 silvers – way more than any other variety.

Still beaming about this piece. As many PR practitioners know, some of the best stories we pitch come when you least expect it. (And no, that doesn't mean they just magically appear). Hours of hard work go into every pitch to ensure it's research-backed and going to the right outlet. But sometimes, timing isn't in our favor. Inboxes get overloaded, and other stories take priority. But trust in yourself that the story is there, and don't be afraid to follow up with new details or timely hooks. The hard work will pay off.

Tinta Roriz is a traditional red grape variety in Portuguese wine regions: the Dão and the Douro. This grape produces fine, elegant wines with an aroma of red fruits, such as plums and blackberries. It has excellent ageing potential and, along with Touriga Franca, Tinta Roriz is one of the best grapes for producing Port Wine. But not everywhere we can find Tinta Roriz written on the labels of the bottles; in the Alentejo region (south of Portugal), it is known as Aragonês. In Spain, a place where this variety is native, it is known as Tempranillo, which is one of the most famous grape varieties in the country. --- #winelover  #winetasting  #redwine  #winetime  #winelovers  #winery #whitewine  #winecountry #winestagram

When we drink a glass of #finewine, we’re certainly focused more on our palate or company than on the making of the wine. And when we think about #winemaking we envision all sorts of steps such as the grapes, the winemakers pruning their vines, the different seasons, the crushing, the fermentation, the bottling etc… But what we usually forget about is the very important barrel component. Note that only certain reds are grown in wooden barrels up to 3 years, a process invented to counter the tannins (so it’s usually for red wines made from strong tannic grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon or Malbec for instance). Wooden barrels are also used for certain white wines, but usually for a shorter time. The tannins balance isn’t the only reason why winemakers are using wooden barrels. Most of them are made with oak, and the French oak is supposed to have the best properties for the job and used by the best wineries all over the world. The reasons are linked to the type of oak which was planted in France, notably in the 18th century. I always wondered if that legacy was linked to French wine culture or a simple coincidence. Probably a bit of both. And when we watch in that video the level of #craftsmanship poured into the making of top barrels, no wonder they come with a high price tag which eventually translates into our bottle price. While some of the best wines in the world use French oak, some don’t use wooden barrels at all, so top red wine isn’t automatically associated with oak barrels.

#Rose_Wine Market To Set Phenomenal Growth In Key Regions By 2023–2032 >> https://lnkd.in/dtFcQwpA Rose #wine is crafted from red grape #varieties that undergo a shorter maceration period with the #grape skins, resulting in pink or light red #coloration. These wines can vary in style from dry to #sweet and be still, sparkling, or semi-sparkling. The #production process involves crushing red grapes and letting the #juice ferment with the skins for a brief #period, typically a few #hours to a couple of days, before #separating the skins from the #juice.

As of 2024, we will no longer write about wines that come in massive, heavy bottles. Maybe wineries continue to think we'll be (and you'll be) impressed by big overblown bottles, instead of what really counts—the wine inside. How about you? Let me know your thoughts on heavy, luxury glass bottles in the comments. #wine #winebottles #winenews #winereviews #climatechange #climatechaos #wineries #internationalwineriesforclimateaction

The process of making wine barrels when we're not so focused on the company and focused on the process of making the wines... 😮 #winemaking #australia #australianwines #cleanskins #barossavalleywines
