Speculated to be 3 Oceans The Explorers. No one's confirmed it yet though.

Thanks, that's the one that made sense to me also. So 2 3 Oceans today.

Speaking of 3 Oceans, I did a little digging around today and found a 3 Oceans 'Grand Palandri' label on Grays Online. $9.99 per bottle. Says exclusive to them but I wonder if it's not a relabel of existing Estates wines. Alcohol % and info in description matches but not enough else to go on. Oh yeah, cork vs screwcap too - they look ready for export!

3 Oceans seems to be the latest re-incarnation of the old Palandri Wine Co which went bust about 8 years ago.

Ahh you made me realise I said Palandari instead of Palandri. Not so subtle if they mention the old company directly!

The previously offered date is the in URL (050216 = 5th Feb 2016). I think the speculation last time is that this might be an Atlas Reisling

Edit: It might also be the O'Leary Walker Polish Hill Riesling - United Cellars claims this has a $27 RRP: http://au.unitedcellars.com/o-leary-walker-polish-hill-river-riesling-2015 but I still think it's an Atlas of some kind.

Edit2: According to RWB forum, it is Atlas Section 32 Riesling

 

[Gary.King]

Thanks for that , only think ist heredity says that they make a red section 32 but not a Riesling

 

[Gary.King]

Obviously I didn't do a spell check in the last
post

anyway I ended up buying 1 dozen each of the Clare valley 15 Riesling and the Margaret river 15 riesling

if the CV is the Atlas that will be good for me and I am pretty sure that the WA Riesling is the Willoughby Park Ironrock

will report back if I am right and more importantly what the rizzas taste like

The 2014 Willoughby Park Kalgan Ironrock was offered before at $19.90 - a bit of a bargain if the 2015 is $10.90. Also it was marketed by VM as being from "WA", rather than Margaret River specifically

2015 Margaret river Riesling, at 9% alcohol would be Churchview St Johns. I bought the 2014 and this is seriously good wine. Plenty of finesse in the manufacture, and pleasantly refreshing at the lower alcohol. Wild fermented as well made the 2014 a stunner in my eyes. As for the 2015, even though Margys had a tougher time, it should still be better than good. Churchview was a standout winery from the Fo last year with many of their wines.

Thanks Beefarmer - that looks like a lock - Churchview is a 5 star winery, whereas Willoughby Park is 5 Red stars.

I just opened a 2013 Chaffey Bros Tessellation reisling that was in my salvation case...that's an exceptional wine isn't it.

I'm not a big white drinker, but that has something. Some depth, and nice acidity, almost a sweetness with the citrus.

Might have to hunt a case of this down.

From my searches this wasn't a black market mof_ deal, but it looks like quite an old one.

Where has the one and only Dr Sammy Lee gone to ? Now, you did mention that you get out and enjoy a wine evening every now and again. Had any interesting vinos? What's been your favourite red or white in the last 4 weeks?

Any ideas on the identity on today's Coonawarra cab?

It was $22 last time. Should be findable via search. Sorry for brevity, on my phone.

Search for 'Penley Reserve', think this is it.

edit: Just Beaten!

A boom for me. Looking forward to this in another 5 years or so!

Guessing today's Margaret River chardonnay is the 3 oceans explorers. Anyone tried this before? The 2013 was rated highly:

Trophy Perth Royal Show "Best Wine of the Show"
Trophy Perth Royal Show "Best White Wine of the Show"

96 Points James Halliday Chardonnay Challenge

Gold Medal Royal Melbourne Show

Are you asking about the 2013? If so, I found it nice enough, but it just seemed a little "nothing" tasting to me (I'm not the Chardy drinker in the household, so I haven't had much of it). I doubt anyone here's tried the 2015 yet.
