I belie2ve you have to do this by phone, probably can't do it via My Post.

Thanks, I might hold off for now. It's going to be a bit tricky to retrieve it from WA if I couldn't it redirected in time to VIC.

And the answer is...

Glen Eldon Twisted Trunk Shiraz 2017 - same wine GWD were flogging for $20pb a year or so ago.

I had an email exchange with TWC and they encouraged me to try a bottle.
I opened one yesterday and it was quite badly oxidised, the cork had a crease up the side and the light colour on the base of the could indicate it was possibly stored upright.
Anyway, TWC sent a return label and I dropped off the 3 bottles at the PO.

I would like 3 of these, the 2018 was well rated. I bought the Pyrus from CD last year.

Must say I'm tempted to boom on this (with free shipping particularly) as it sounds like really decent value, as usual any comments on the offerings? I'm not that well acquainted with her label.

I enjoy their wine, find them easy drinkers and great value. They regular have good sales on their wines, Richard (Bec's husband) is active on ozbargain and their service is great.

I concur. Especially on the last point.

Agree with this but I do think you can get better value hunting for their wines on Vinomofo or Langtons sales, e.g. Pertaringa Undercover is $11.50 on vm in a dozen. Solid quaffer

I grabbed a dozen of them recently and tried one. Reckon out of all their wines I've had, that's one that will benefit from a bit of age.

All the others I've found perfectly fine drinking young.

Interesting they are corked - the GWD ones I have left are definitely screw cap.

Probably for good reason. The so-called 4.2 vivino claim on OzB is not even based on this vintage. Dodgy marketing.

Interesting article about 1847 from 2018 when all the buzz was about selling wineries and wines to China.
Quote: ""We tweak the wine style to meet the Chinese consumer," Mr Grundel said."
Not sure whether he means Grange with Coke

Grape expectations: The Chinese investors buying into the Barossa Valley

Chinese nationals are buying Australian vineyards and wineries at unprecedented levels, with up to 10 per cent of the iconic Barossa Valley now in Chinese hands.

Translation: “We increase the price x10 to make our sh**y wine more attractive to the Chinese consumer.”
