It's a similar story with the second wine that I'm recommending. The Clare Valley makes Australia's best riesling, smart, often extraordinarily, good shiraz, some flavourful cabernet and a handful of good semillon, grenache and gewurztraminer. But it's not a region that does chardonnay particularly well. This budget-priced white from XXXXX is, however, a good, easy-drinking wine at a fair price. It has bright, ripe, sweet tropical fruit flavours, is clean and lively with refresing, crisp acidity.' Peter Forrestal, Quaff

2006 Clare Valley vintage is one of the best in years, Simon Osicka senior winemaker at Leasingham believes Shiraz to be the the best since the benchmark 1998. "In terms of overall quality at all grades, the 2006 vintage has been a very rewarding one. The quality from all sub-regions of the district has been consistently good," he said. A superb job finessing vines at the older Schobers and Provis vineyards, the attention to detail focused on canopies leading up to vintage, which has resulted in an outstanding Magnus

Near-perfect seasonal conditions in the lead-up to harvest have produced rich, ripe and concentrated flavours in the Shiraz. A relatively mild to warm season from spring through to harvest ripened the fruit to near-perfection. Grape picking started on schedule, the vintage progressed so well, that premium parcels were harvested one week earlier than previous years. A particularly good year for Shiraz, which is incredibly fragrant, exhibits fabulous concentration, very sweet fruit and lots of plum and mulberry characters. The hallmark Shiraz characters are very powerful, with some serious attitude, and texturaly rich, 2006 will be viewed as a terrific Magnus Shiraz vintage for many years to come. Approx 14.0%
