Martin Moran, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Plenty of black fruit with a touch of eucalypt and firm tannins that say built for the long haul that addition of food takes the edge off of it.”
Martin Williams, Fourth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Very deep crimson/purple. Meaty, woodsy/earthy, stewed fruit. Solid fruit, juicy/gummy texture. Hollow and short. Food: quite fruity with the beef.”
Brent Marris, Thirteenth Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“A lovely ripe slightly liquorice aroma followed through to the palate. Rich round and full bodied with hints of black pepper. A ripe plum flavour on the palate. Well balanced. Sweetness of the beef ribs and the wine work in very well.”
Ying Hsien Tan, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep dark red. Spicy dark fruit on the nose. Full, dry, ripe almost sweet flavoured redberries, blackberries, elegantly structured. Dry dark fruit on the finish, creamy tail. Long. Deepened and softened the wine, fairly neutral impact on the food.”
Dr Ken Dobler, Eleventh Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Deep crimson red colour. The nose is redolent with stewed plum and hints of spice. The palate similarly shows very ripe black fruits with complexity and great length of flavour. Such a complex wine matches well with a rich dish.”
The Fuller Bodied Dry Red Wines were judged with
Beef Ribs with black mole, celeriac puree and fried kale
Presented by chef Marcell Kustos
Ingredients
Beef Ribs
- 1.5 kg short beef ribs
- 4 pc onions, chopped

Method

- Remove the ribs, blend the sauce, add 4 Tbsp mole and reduce further.
- Add back the ribs to reheat.
- Dice the celeriac (2cm cubes)
- Heat oil in a saucepan, add the celeriac, season and lightly saute, add water to just cover and cook until tender, about 25mins.
- Strain and puree, adding butter if you wish a richer tasting puree.
- Trim and finely slice the kale, flash fry in hot oil and drain on kitchen paper.
- Serve the beef on side with celeriac puree and fried kale.
Mike de Garis, Second Term Panellist 2019 Competition
“Vibrant. Cherry, spice, toasty oak & fresh. Cherry spice up front, almost sweet oak with slight gritty tannins. Food : covers the sweet oak and adds to the flavour length.”
