When we taste any wine, it is never a fair test as battling the pre-conceived view of what the taste will be is so hard to overcome. Indeed we often make up our mind before we taste the wine.
Imagine a wine being poured from a cask which has been refilled with a better quality – how would you go? In turn this means some districts never receive the acclaim they deserve. Over time, and grudgingly, the perception can change and that is the best introduction I can make for Langhorne Creek.
Wine quality has not been the issue for decades yet consumers have remained hesitant or sceptical. I have often noted that three Jimmy Watson trophies for Langhorne Creek wines made by Wolf Blass in the mid 1970s should have swung the doors open but they did not.
It was the Wolf Blass brand that consumers purchased, not the origin of the fruit. Places that are less popular is where Glug seeks out bargains and this Glug The Regions from Langhorne Creek is rated highly by us.
