Hi guys, figured i'd use your collective wisdom. Are there any Rieslings that come up that are worth having.
Knowing that I can get decent Rieslings in the $13-20 a bottle mark and Grosset in the $30-50s for special occasions/cellaring. I am intrigued by the offers but never had a crack (case buys seem so large unless you already love the wine) and it seems the effort goes into discovering the red offers more than white. Figured I'd see what the thoughts were here.

Thanks

Unfortunately most whites come under $15 and thus need to purchase 12 bottle case.
In fact I am keen to try some pinot but they also came borderline $15 and thus 12 bottle case.
More bearable if 6 bottle case.

In that price range I'd personally recommend West Cape Howe Riesling, easily found for ~$16, 96 points from Halliday (personally feel the 2013 is better)

I know it isn't Vinomofo relevant, but I'd back it against most in that price category.

I'll give it a crack. Must confess I don't care much for Hallidays points rating system.
I guess I was just seeing if anyone was buying riesling off VM but it seems from initial consensus a 12 bottle buy puts us off. Maybe they should have an offer where if you have already bought something you can tack a sixer on instead of 12.

Either way I'm still interested in other opinions.

Cheers

I had been keeping my eye out for just that on VM. Eventually I gave the Fanny Limehead a go. What a disappointment. Sent it back.

Yes rocket, both cases returned with no problems whatsoever in crediting. How can you go wrong with a policy like that, you can't. However, after such a great speil, i would have expected a hell of a lot better from the pair of witchmounts that retailed from 38 to 42. Crikey, the normal retailling wines that sell in the mid twenties i have bought (for $8-12) have seen a few stunners, namely willoughby park, glenlofty, maverick twins and sieber gsm.- so you are bound to get a dodgy or two. i look forward to your comments since we all inhabit different taste worlds.

Well it sold out pretty quick in the current sale, so there must be a few cases circulating! Would love to hear others opinions. I know Qwine blog rated it, gave it a 92. Might have to crack one soon and suss it out.
 
The Orange Riesling that was on a few weeks ago is also not much chop either...... only just bearable. I would give it a miss. BTW, it was Belgravia Gwendoline..... not that impressed..... Would have sent it back if I could be coughd, but was overseas for a few weeks.

Does anyone know what the Malbec/Cabernet Blend is from Geographe? $27 down to $8.10? Thanks!

StevietheFishy it may well be the Capel Vale. If you search for Capel in this thread you will get a few more results in addition to the post below.

The vinomofo BLACK MARKET DEAL Malbec Blend 2011 advertised today at $8.10 down from $27 and described as:

'The 2010 was one of my bargain buys of the year and I have to say that the 2011 is even better again. If you’ve got Bordeaux taste but you aren’t driving around in a Bentley and realise that the real shiz is expensive, here’s the wine for you.

From a fantastic WA producer, who we obviously can’t name, we’ve gotten our hands on some cases of this stunning red. Direct from them to your cellar with a little stop over in our warehouse. This elegant, lively and plush blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet gives you a taste of France at a fraction of the cost. Imagine plump, fresh dark plums, cherries, cedar and earthy tones. It’s impressive depth and length proves it’s a first class vino in every respect. A truly legendary winery worthy of its 5 red star status has brought the goods, and we’re just so tickled to supply it to you at such an awesome price.'

Is likely the Capel Vale cellar exclusive.

It's a genuine bargain from its original price and a label many would recognise but I wouldn't buy it. I visited the Margaret River area in June this year and visited Capel Vale. Found most of their wines to be very disappointing as compared to others in the same area. Capel Vale was the only vineyard I did not make at purchase at.

Interested to hear if anyone got or tried the new Old Money cav sav? I actually quite liked the last run, still got a couple of bottles. Nothing to write home about, but a decent $15 wine that a few people I shared it with enjoyed.
