Number one with a bullet: salute for hot-shot grape variety (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every year at the Hunter Valley Wine Show there's a trophy given out by the international judge called the Silver Bullet. It comes with a sense of great anticipation as the Silver Bullet looks, for all intents, like an oversized sex toy, which provides fertile ground for those with a sharp sense of humour. But all jokes aside, it is an important award as it goes to a standout wine from any class that captures the international judge's attention. It has meant that wines that stand out from the pa

It's called Shimora - a blend of surnames and, chances are, you haven't heard of it. It's a boutique wine label still in its infancy, but one to watch. Based high up at 760 metres in the Macedon Ranges - "it's one of Macedon's highest vineyards" - Shimora is the brainchild of two highly driven people, husband and wife Phil Moraghan and Rika Shimo. If the Moraghan name is familiar, yes, it's the same Phil Moraghan who was co-founder and winemaker at Curly Flat, whose classy Macedon wines in the e

As far as names go, it's about as unpretentious as you can get. Which is only fair because that's what the new wine label is all about - good quality, well priced, unpretentious upper Yarra Valley chardonnay and pinot noir that overdelivers for its price. "Actually the name was a joke to start with from Dad," Catia D'Anna ('Cat' to friends) explained. "We were bouncing around names, and Mum said 'stick with Cat & Frank'. "Dad and I had been spending so much time together out in the vines and in
Ripper riesling: 'most difficult' season yet no match for vintage experience (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The 2026 vintage represented a significant milestone for Helm Wines: it was the family-run Murrumbateman winery's 50th vintage of its beloved riesling. To celebrate, founder and winemaker Ken Helm wasn't asking for the world, just a stress-free growing season that produces loads of quality fruit. Huh! "Without doubt the most difficult growing season I've experienced in 50 years," Helm said. "It threw everything at us. Frost in November took out half my crop, and then when everything was looking
