WineXpert WE Australian Riverland Reserve: ????

[SVA]

Australian Riverland Reserve: This one sounded intriguing to me, so I got it and now have it in the secondary fermenter down in the basement. Anybody out there have any experience with this one?

Not me, but keep us informed, so we might consider buying this one in the future.

I almost got one of these kits a while ago but unfortunately it didn't work out - I have heard though that this is an excellent wine so you should not be disappointed.

bottled and tasted

So I bottled this batch of Australian Riverland Reserve one week ago. My curiosity got the better of me, and I opened a bottle tonight to go with dinner (stir-fry pork). I'm very happy, indeed. I'm not good at describing how wine tastes, so forgive my casting about for the right words. In any case, it's a white, of course, that does not have as much tang or tartness as, say, the pinot grigio I had a few days ago. The Australian Riverland Reserve's tones are more subtle and smooth (but not bland), coming to the senses with a bit of a delay rather than grabbing the tastebuds right away. Very pleasant and understated fruitiness. Will I make it again? Probably the better question would be: when will I make it again?
