Nero
d’Avola is native to Sicily, where it’s the region’s most planted
variety. In recent years, plantings have spread to other parts of the
world, including Australia, where the Chalmers family nursery imported
the first Nero d’Avola vines in 1998 (although not released from
quarantine for cultivation until 2001). Today, there are more than 55
Nero d’Avola vineyards in Australia.(<i>Wine Companion Magazine, </i>online @<i> @ </i>http://www.winecompanion.com.au/news/wine-companion-magazine-articles/issue-21-nero-davola).</div>

On
the Granite Belt, Nero d'Avola is the province of Strangebird stalwart
Golden Grove Estate. 600 vines were hand chip budded by owner Sam
Costanzo and lovingly
crafted into this elegant fruit driven wine by son Ray. The 2012 Nero
D'Avola has a deep but vibrant cherry red appearance. The nose is rich
with cherries, raspberries and red forest fruits with an underlying
touch of sweet oak. The palate is soft and succulent with bursts of
perfumed ripe fruit all in perfect harmony with the fine grain oak,
plush tannins and crunchy acidity.The 2012 Vintage Grand Reserve Nero
d'Avola has won serious applause with the following awards under its belt:</div>

copy made (of the instrument not the bandsman) by instrument maker, Halary, who
in 1817 went on to develop a family of three new keyed brass instruments. He
called his soprano instrument a "clavitube", the alto a
"quinti-clave" and the bass instrument an “ophicleide". <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Ophicleide”
was a made up name from the Greek words meaning ‘serpent’ and ‘keys’. The
serpent was the excitingly named but hapless wooden tubed instrument (coiled
into a snake-like shape) that the ophicleide replaced in bands and orchestras.
Unlike the serpent though, which had been in use for more than 250 years, the
heyday of the Ophicleide was to be short. The newly invented tuba (with valves
instead of keys) swept in as the instrument of choice from the 1870’s.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How do we
know that this is Queensland’s first recital? Well, we don’t really, but
according to a paper delivered by CG Austin in 1961 on the subject of Early
Musical Performances in Queensland, the first professional orchestra to play in
Brisbane was in 1872 – already towards the end of the ophicleide’s orchestral
reign. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In recent
times, Nick Byrne (also a Sydney Symphony Orchestra trombonist) played the
ophicleide in Brisbane in a performance with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra
but he says that as far as he also is aware “this will be the first time an
Ophicleide has performed in any solo capacity in Qld!”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What does
it sound like? According to the Musical Instruments Museum “This instrument is
particularly agile and endowed with a beautiful sound quality. But like all
instruments, it requires a good ear to play it correctly.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why should
you come to the concert? Two of Australia’s finest musicians are performing
and, it may be another 150 years before you get your next chance to hear this
noble old instrument being played. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Robert
Channon said, ”I have a small collection of old instruments including a
serpent and an ophicleide. It will be a joy to hear the ophicleide being played
properly at last. I always feel that I would be able to make a better fist of
playing it if I had been born with three hands.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The concert
is in the Swigmore Hall at Robert Channon Wines on Sunday 4 October at 2.00.

Nebbiolo
makes wine with a distinct brown colour. The wines are usually long
lived and often reward cellaring for a decade or so.
In some ways Nebbiolo wines resemble Pinot Noirs in the way that they
age into wines with soft rich tannins. The wines have rich flavours
with a nose most often described as 'tar and roses'.
Some other flavours and aromas to look for are spicy, chocolate, leathery and earthy flavours. Think of a forest floor.

<span lang="EN-US">Nebbiolo takes its name from the fog (nebbia) that swirls around the Piedmontese hills at harvest time. All the
literature suggests that not only is Nebbiolo difficult to grow well in
Australia, but that it can be challenging for the palate of Australian
wine-drinkers. We say 'Challenge away!'. Th</span>e aroma of Nebbiolo is compared to ‘tar and roses’ and the variety 'typically
produces rich and powerful wines with high levels of acidity, alcohol and
tannins ... a distinct brown colour which is appropriately
accompanied by flavours of earth, chocolate, leather and spice' says experimental wine website <a href="http://www.differentdrop.com/blogs/news/8434171-nebbiolo-dark-brooding-mysterious" target="_blank">Different Drop</a>.</div>

Multi-award winning winery Ballandean Estate produces Nebbiolo, and Leeanne Puglisi-Gangemi has this to say about the temperamental variety:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">'We planted
our vines about 20 years ago and have had our ups an down with the variety. In
saying that, we are planting a little more of this variety this year to top up
our volume, so I guess you could say,we have faith in the variety</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US">'The wine we
produce at Ballandean Estate is usually quite tannic with the characteristic
“orange” tinge of the meniscus and the flavour is bold and fruit driven.
It is not a wine to be taken lightly and definitely a ‘food friendly’
style. Served with a flavoursome pasta dish and you would swear you were
in Italy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
This week we have a guest post from Sue and Warren at Pyramids Road, who are enthusiastic about their Strangebird variety Mourvedre, and took a wet day off from pruning to tell us all about it. Over to Sue and Warren:</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
Mourvedre has many names -the French call it Mourvedre,
Monastrell in Spain and Mataro in Australia. It is debatable about its origin
but it is widely planted in the south of France and near to the east coast
of Spain behind Alicante. In Australia, it was planted and grown as bush
vines in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale. These plantings have
considerable age where</div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
some vines are 80-100 years old.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
In our vineyard it stands straight and tall which means
it is a pleasure to work with. It grows with gusto and proves difficult at
pruning time as the canes grow very thick and strong. It loves the sunshine
and warm days in our summer as the tannin in the skins needs this weather to
ripen. </div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
We love this variety as it has the potential to be used
in a blended wine or as a straight varietal wine. It classically has elements
of spice, earthy, dark cherry flavours with a tannin structure that gives
the wine great body and length. The wine is a dense purple colour that, while
delicious in its own right, is best accompanied with food. It is not for
the light hearted and accompanies any hearty meat dish on winter nights by
the fire. It creates interest in the cellar door and most people are
intrigued and willing to sample the wine. Since our first vintage in
2005 it has created quite a following and many repeat customers keen to see
how each vintage changes.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">A rich dark purple with blackberrry and violet notes, Malbec loves high elevation. In lower elevations, Malbec grapes struggle to produce the acidity they need to create great tasting and long lasting wine. High elevation areas with a wide diurnal temperature shift, typified by hot days and cold nights, make the grapes produce more acidity </span></span></div>

in relatively small quantities was planted by previous
owners about 1982, for use as a blender with Cabernet Sauvignon as was
traditional in France in the Bordeaux blend. A few years ago, he realised his biggest, healthiest vines were by now those Malbec - it clearly liked
it here, so he budded some of my other vines across to Malbec (using buds from
my existing Malbec to keep the clone pure). His first 100% Malbec
wine was made at last in 2012 - a huge, peppery/berry wine ideal with
barbecues and game.</span></span><br />

Jacquez is a variety or a group of varieties from the
species Vitis bourquiniana, sometimes called bourquina. It is believed to have
originated in the Eastern United States. As it is not in the Vitis vinifera
species it is not susceptible to Phylloxera and is can be used for resistantrootstocks.<o:p></o:p></div>

Jaquez (also known variously as Lenoir, Jacquet, Jack, Blue
French, Ohio, and El Paso,is a hybrid
grape resulting from a cross of the American Vitis aestivalis species of grape
with an unknown Vitis vinifera pollen donor. This hybridisation may have
occurred naturally, as was the case with many of the early American grape
cultivars. From its wild South Carolina parent, Lenoir carries natural
resistance to the Phylloxera pest. On the Granite Belt, Ridgemill Estate grow Jaquez on their Severnlea vineyard.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Graciano is a Spanish red wine grape that was developed
initially in Rioja where it is considered a ‘noble’ vine.Graciano is a challenging, low-yielding variety that is often
made into a Gran Reserva because of its great lasting ability. This wine is characterised by its deep red colour and strong
aroma and ability to age well. Graciano thrives in warm, arid climates. Locally,
it is grown by Savina Lane<span style="color: black;">.'Graciano was growing here when we bought the vineyard and we are thrilled with
the spicy notes and and silky mouth feel with a medium body red', says Brad from Savina Lane.</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">‘Graciano is thought to be native to Rioja, where it is used
to provide color and aroma to blended Rioja red wines... Typically, it makes up
less than 15% of the blend when it is used at all. It can also be found in
neighboring Navarra. Graciano was once very widely grown in the
Languedoc-Roussillon region of France where it was known as Morrastel (which
can be confusing, as Morrastel is a Spanish synonym for Mourvedre) but it was
uprooted in the late 20th century in favor of hardier, more productive
varietals, especially something called Morrastel Bouchet which was a cross
between Graciano and Petit Bouschet developed by Henri Bouschet. There is some
grown in Australia, where it is known as Morrastel (though some of this may be
Mourvedre as well), and some grown in California, where it is known as Xeres.
It is thought that Portugal's Tinta Miúda may actually be Graciano.’ <o:p></o:p></span></div>

lamb, or other stronger tasting or gamey meats. Check out an award winner at

It was created at the university of Montpellier in the 1880sw by a Dr Durif who was interested in developing a grape variety resistant to downy mildew.It was introduced into Australia by Francois de Castella in 1908 and planted extensively in the Rutherglen area of Victoria.</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black; display: inline ! important; float: none; font-size: x-small; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"> </span></span></span></h4>

Friends of Wine (online @ </span><a href="http://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/cab-franc.htm"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">http://www.winepros.org/wine101/grape_profiles/cab-franc.htm</span></a><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">)
have an interest in the family tree (or vine) of wine, and taught me a new word
today: </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampelography" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">'ampelography'</span></a></span><span style="font-family: "Verdana",sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> . Recent
studies in ampelography have determined that cabernet franc is one of the genetic
parents of cabernet sauvignon (the other is sauvignon blanc). Cabernet franc
was also found to be the common ancestor among other grapes of Bordeaux,
including carmenère, malbec, and merlot.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of my wines are made as natural as they can be. I use only the best quality
grapes, thereby ensuring minimal use of sulphur. I also use a lot of wild yeast

is an Italian variety from the Piedmont region.</span></i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Palatino Linotype","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"> <i>It makes a deeply coloured
wine with intense flavours.</i> <i>It is high in natural acid but low-ish in
tannin consequently it is a good match for some food that would also go with
white wine. It is a great match also for Italian dishes that don’t necessarily
involve meat.</i> <i>We decided to grow Barbera because it’s Italian and we
love all things (wine and food) Italian. We also have other Italian varieties -
Sangiovese and Nebbiolo' </i>says Peter<i>. </i></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Amanda from the blog 'Cooker and a Looker' wrapped up her tour around Southern Queensland on the Granite Belt with a visit to Twisted Gum winery. Here's what she had to say about this local gem:</span></div>

Tim has you covered! Finish off your tour tasting Twisted Gum’s wines accompanied by artisan cheeses on the veranda as the sun sets – and they’re not joking about the sunset – stunning!</i></span></span></span></blockquote>

<span style="color: #666666;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Twisted Gum are a dry land vineyard, so a highlight for me was tasting the difference in that dry and wet years made to the produce of the same vines. Also, give the pink moscato a try: sweet wines aren’t my thing, but theirs is a horse of a different colour. </i></span></span></blockquote>

<br />
If you live outside the state of Queensland, the sunny place is somewhere you associate with theme parks, long sandy beaches and meter maids. But for all those who prefer a quiet night in with a glass of red over raging through surfer's night spots, there is something on offer for you.<br />
<br />
The Granite Belt is the main wine region in Queensland and it is having a moment.<br />
<br />
Named after the stunning prehistoric granite formations in the area, it has a cool climate and high altitude which creates award-winning wines.<br />
<br />
It's been a long time since 1870, when the first grapes were planted by a Catholic priest to make church wine, but finally the Granite Belt is becoming a recognised region - with the help of respected wine critic James Halliday.<br />
<br />
There are 40 boutique cellar doors with highly respected wine. The main players here are Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and Merlot - but even with a small percentage of plantings, Verdelho has made its mark.<br />
<br />
Head to the Granite Belt to discover small can be beautiful.<br />

<i>It wasn’t that long ago that Queensland’s wine making industry was little more than a footnote to Australia’s world renowned vineyard culture.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>It wasn’t that long ago that Julia Gillard was the Prime Minister of Australia either.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The point is this: things can change quickly.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The Queensland wine industry has matured in recent years; as a result, local makers have been increasingly recognised as producers of very good wines.</i><br />

This month we feature a divine rediscovery of the Poached Pear, from chef Dylan at <a href="http://www.masonwines.com.au/site/">Mason Wines Cellar Door Cafe</a>.<br />
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b>Clove parfait ingredients </b></div>
<ul>
<li>125ml milk</li>
<li>5 eggs</li>
<li>150g castor sugar</li>
<li>225ml thickened cream lightly whipped</li>
<li>½ teaspoon ground cloves</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Method</b></div>
<ul>
<li>In a medium saucepan heat the milk and clove on a low simmer and be careful not to boil. </li>
<li>Separate the egg yolks and discard the egg white. Beat the egg yolks with the castor sugar until combined (this usually takes a couple of minutes). Slowly whisk in the hot milk and transfer into a clean saucepan. </li>
<li>Bring to a medium heat (70 degrees is hot enough as over 80 degrees the custard will split). Stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the custard just thickens. </li>
<li>Transfer the thickened custard into an electric mixer bowl then whisk for 10 minutes on high speed. The custard will double in size and once cooled fold in the cream. </li>
<li>Line the loaf tin with baking paper then pour in the mixture. Freeze for at least 6 hours.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Poached Pear ingredients</b></div>
<ul>
<li>750ml Bottle of Mason’s 2009 Shiraz </li>
<li>550ml water</li>
<li>300g castor sugar</li>
<li>2 cinnamon sticks</li>
<li>3 star anise</li>
<li>8 firm green Stanthorpe pears </li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Method</b></div>
<ul>
<li>Pour the wine and water into a heavy based saucepan big enough to fit all eight pears comfortably and add sugar.</li>
<li>Bring to the boil and add cinnamon sticks and star anise. </li>
<li>Peel and core the pears then carefully place them into the boiling liquid. </li>
<li>Leave pears to poach on a simmer for 1 1/2 hours. </li>
<li>Test the pears are poached with a knife gently pushing through the flesh to the middle. When soft remove from heat and strain.</li>
<li>Transfer 4 cups of the poaching liquid into a smaller saucepan and boil until reduced by 2/3 in volume. This is your glaze for assembly.</li>
</ul>

<i>More than 30 wine lovers gathered at Mike Hayes' wine evaluation course to learn how to source, prepare and enjoy a top drop - and the best thing is, some of the finest wines are grown on a vine just down the road.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"The participants haven't realised the quality of wines on their back doorstep," Mr Hayes said.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"We've sampled some wines from the southern states and people were amazed at how the local wines stacked up."</i><br />
