WINE REVIEW: Hentley Farm The Beauty Shiraz 2014

My review: Spicy on the nose. White pepper, liquorice, plum, with a hint of vanilla. It's a Shiraz co-fermented with viognier. Complex and delicate flavors at the same time. Long finish. Absolutely wonderful and superb flavors.

Winery: Hentley Farm
Designation: The Beauty
Region: Barossa Valley
Country: Australia
Grape variety: Australian Shiraz
Vintage: 2014
Robert Parker: 91 pts
Vivino: 4.4








WINE REVIEW: Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015.

WINE REVIEW: Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015

Slow Saturday afternoon watching The Sopranos with an Elderton Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz 2015.

My review: Highly recommended. I would describe it as spicy with savory finish. Leather on the nose. Lots of character. Not the typical fruity shiraz. Peppery with herbal, eucalyptus finish. Very rich! Lots of berries, liquorice and oak on the palate.

True to the description at the back of the bottle: "the wine is exuberant lively and full of character."

Winery: Elderton

Region: Barossa Valley

Country: Australia

Grape variety: Australian Shiraz

Vintage: 2015















BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA: Cheap places to eat near the Barossa Visitor Centre

Barossa Visitor Centre

BAROSSA VALLEY, AUSTRALIA: Cheap places to eat near the Barossa Visitor Centre

We tried two restaurants near the Barossa Visitor Center serving delicious food and are reasonably priced. I recommend both restaurants for those doing the hop-on-hop-off Trailhopper wine tours from Adelaide since the Barossa Visitor Centre is one of the places included in those tours. 

1. TANUNDA TAKEAWAY 

(FORMERLY TANUNDA CHICKENS)

We dined here right after the trailhopper wine tour. Although slightly drunk, we were able to reach this place easily because it's right across the road where the Barossa Visitor Center is located. 



Location is right across the Barossa Visitor Center



This is the old sign when it was still Tanunda Chickens
We ate there when it was still Tanunda Chickens in 2018.
So what we got was roast chicken

Note that it is beside the Fine Aboriginal Art & Souvenirs Store

2. AMANTI PIZZA 

This pizza place serves a lot of different varieties of pizza, from the traditional to the gourmet so you have a lot of choices but prices are very reasonable. The pizza and pasta that we bought shown in the photos below are really good. This place is highly recommended.





Location is also very near the Barossa Visitor Centre
