Vine and taste of tomato


As nice as it knocks on your door and a delivery of wine arrives. Vinet, ett Shiraz är tillverkat av Wyndham Estates, Australien. The wine, a Shiraz is made of Wyndham Estate, Australia.

Already in 1830 where the first shiraz rank by George Wyndham. He was somewhat of a pioneer and followed his own paths. As emigrant, he came to Australia in 1827 and settled near Branxton. He operated the experimental farm in several places including a property called Dalwood. Among the things he mentioned grown corn, hemp, mustard, tobacco, and that he started with his vines and the grapes were mainly Hermitage, Cabernet and Shiraz. Dalwoods wines became famous and won among other prizes at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1867. At George Wyndham's death in 1870 sold his property Dalwood to Penfold Wines Ltd, which owns the land than today.

The wine then you wonder... Well, the launch of the wine in Sweden is done right now. Since it is recommended to be eaten with tomato-based dishes, pasta, etc., we made a whole pizza with homemade tomato sauce, red onion, which had a lovely sweetness and top with rucola.

The wine itself was a nice beginning for a character with black currant tones and dark red berries. With food it got body and soul, and grew. We note that we are not good enough to assess and taste buds are trimmed on stronger wines .... but it is well-suited to the small encourage riga taste in ruccolan. The tomato and onion sweetness were picked up by the wine.
