Feeling Wine & Food - El ABC del Vino in English

Yalumba The Strapper GSM - Barossa Valley - Australia Yalumba is one of those Australian wineries in the Barossa Valley that represent what is for me the authenticity of modern wines. It is a producer that captivates me with the constant and indisputable quality of its delicious Viognier, one of the white wines that I consume frequently. Now, the winery delights me with this red blend GSM wine (Garnacha, Shiraz and Mataro) that overflows and seduces by its generosity of flavors, aromas and texture. I have recently tasted the 2014 vintage and in the nose shows off notes of spices, menthol, ripe berries and coffee roasting. In the mouth I liked the unctuous fruity and spicy flavors, but I was surprised by the amalgamated but crunchy tannins given by the Mataro, which is another name for the well-known Monastrell.

A premium Shiraz finished in Whiskey barrels... and ready to conquer Quebec! Jacob’s Creek Double Barrel Shiraz Barossa Valley – Australia SAQ Price: $ 21,25 Jacob's Creek is one of the most beloved Australian wineries for the Canadian public. Its wines, basically mono varietals Shiraz, captivate the local palates for its generous explosion of flavors and aromas that represent the savoir faire and the Australian terroir. But, undoubtedly, what also likes the people from this winery is its innovative character, its continuous search to produce exceptional wines that at the time of being tasted, they offer us the pleasure and enjoyment that we are looking for. Jacob's Creek always tries to offer that much-needed bonus to recognize a brand over any of the others.  I have known their wines for a long time, their young syrah and their mature wines, with or without a barrel, but always with a seal that identifies them. And for the first time I had the opportunity t...

I've said it on many occasions: limiting a wine producing country to a single grape variety is shortening the chances of surprising our palate. In this case, I wanted to go to the search for different wines from Australia, well beyond their great wines elaborated with their emblematic Shiraz. And it has been a very enriching exercise to find and taste this exquisite white wine, available on the SAQ stores. Alternatus Fiano 2015 Angove Family Winemakers Mc Laren Vale – Australia SAQ price: $ 25.00 Fiano is an autochthonous variety from southern Italy, specifically from Campania and Sicily, but it is in Australia the second country in the world where it is beginning to give wines of international recognition. From the Angove family winery, Alternatus is an interesting "alternative" of dry white wine, fresh and with those notes that remember the mineral and stone fruit. I liked it for its Mediterranean character, with aromas of citrus fruits, melon, peaches a...
