If that’s good, please let me know 'cos Leasingham usually produce shite.
The “Like” was more for the epic label than the unfamiliar wine

No, you really would not like this - it’s a deliberately high fruit/high sugar finish - as sophisticated as an ocker’s jockstrap.
I’m fed-up with supposedly “grown-up” wines that are frankly dry, bleak, bitter and boring - so I’m embracing my inner Lambrini Girl. Wine like the Romans enjoyed - and a lot less pretentious wank.

we are trying to branch out from our French staples, which started when we tried a host of interesting German and Austrian whites.
This Austrian is the last of the box I put together at Xmas from Berry Bros
Don’t misunderstand. When in that certain frame of mind, I like average Aussie wine as a rule.
But Stanley-Leasingham are a bulk wine producer from Co-ops in poor wine producing regions, who have achieved their market share by releasing really execrable bag-in-a-box piss.
Their “premium” wine presence (over recent years) is virtually non-existent.
I am concerned for your well being.
I’ve tried a few Austrian wines and find them, at best, under-developed. Not nearly enough development or character. They have mostly been about fruit sweetness, even the reds.
The Roses are quite nice.
this is dry, with a nice subtle apricot flavour and citrus finish. Little or no sweetness
