Two Australian wines from Dunnes Stores this week. The sixth generation of Hill-Smith are now working in the family business. Since planting their first vines in 1849, the company has had an enviable reputation for quality wines. Both wines are sustainably produced and organic. They sell for €16-€19 elsewhere and so offer great value at €12 a bottle.
Two other wines on offer in Dunnes Stores for €15 are the Nautilus Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and the Château des Tours Brouilly, both good wines at very competitive prices.

Rich stone fruits balanced nicely by a refreshing citrus acidity. Enjoy this with creamy fish pie or herby grilled chicken.
Yalumba Gen Organic Shiraz 2022, South Australia Organic
14% abv, €18.95 down to €12 from Dunnes Stores
Rich and smooth with juicy ripe plum fruits and a sprinkle of white pepper. A good all-rounder that would go nicely with most red or white meats. Try it with lasagne or mushroom risotto.
