From late 2020, I have been living in Tasmania, central north coast. I lived in Northern Rivers, NSW, Australia, 2008-2020: Zones: Northern Rivers, Norther Slopes, Granite Belt (Qld), + Canberra wines (when I stayed there) + what I bought locally. I lived in Adelaide for over 20 years. I grew up in NSW.

2009 Golden Grove Accommodation Creek Granite Belt Mediterranean Red
The label features GG as a signature like cufflinks on a striped business shirt. The wine has won silver at Qld wine show and the Australian alternative varieties show. It's made from tempranillo, durif and barbera which should be a terrific combination. The label says 'soft yet lengthy finish' but we disagree with that. My drinking companion said it's a quaffing wine. For us it had no length. It was thin and odd-tasting; too warm and too toasty. There was honey in the aroma which mde me think of warm brown. There's a little pepper on the mid-palate, but not enough. However, it is a beautiful ruby red in colour.
