Exhibition of Victorian Winemakers 2006 - Brown Brothers
February 10th, 2006
Brown Brothers (Milawa) - Brown Brothers is one the largest and oldest family owned wineries in Australia. The wines that were being shown are generally aimed at the under $10 price point and a specific market segment. They do have higher quality wines but these were not available for tasting.
Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier Sparkling NV - Easy to drink but nothing much of interest. No major flaws apart from a short palate. 85/100
Moscato 2005 - Overly sweet, needs some acid to provide a little bit of structure. 82/100
Cienna 2005 - Cherries, raspberries and a bucket of sugar. 82/100
Sauvignon Blanc 2005 - Very herbal and a strong acid spike on the palate. 82/100
Orange Flora & Muscat 2005 - Citrus peel and almost a touch of a medicinal taste to it. Another overly sweet wine. 80/100
Pinot Gris 2005 - Flat and watery, little to no redeeming value. 79/100

My wife likes your red Dolchetto wine; at the moment we are living in the UK and would like to buy this particular vintage.
Can you tell us if this wine is available in the UK? And where can we buy it?
Regards,
