RANDOM VALLEY 2007 SHIRAZ TAKES THE TROPHY
The fourth annual Australia / New Zealand Organic Wine Show was held in Sydney last month, with Max Allen again supporting the cause as Chief Judge. Here’s what he had to say about the winners
.....“Margaret River’s Random Valley vineyard was clearly the standout estate this year, with all four entries going home with medals: the trophies for Best Red Wine and Wine of Show went to Random Valley’s intense, vibrant 2007 Shiraz, a gold medal went to the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon, and bronzes to the 2006 vintages of the same two varietals.” Read all of his comments here
Being closely involved with the Organic Wine Show and Organic Expo, I have been able to access most of these fabulous wines, and the 2008 Medal Winners Pack is your one and only chance to try nearly all the GOLD and SILVER medal winners from the show. It features all 4 GOLD medal winners and 8 selected SILVER medal winners.

BIODYNAMIC WINE REVOLUTION - WINTER 2008
With lots of recent media interest in biodynamic wine producers the rest of the world is starting to discover the absolute quality of biodynamic wines. Firstly there was a great article about the Nagorcka’s of Hochkirch Winery in the Sunday Age ‘Sunday Life’ mag about a month ago, and more recently The Age Epicure had a couple of biodynamic stories. There is currently no online version of the Hochkirch story.
