"While many
newcomers to the wine industry spend several years with the training wheels on,
some astonish us by hitting the ground sprinting. Few things excite your
jaded authors more than discovering a newcomer whose first offerings thrill our
tastebuds. Think Toolangi (Yarra Valley), Savaterre (Beechworth), Spinifex
(Barossa), Marius (McLaren Vale), Longview (Adelaide Hills), Chatto
(Hunter Valley), Murdock (Coonawarra), Orange Mountain (NSW Central Ranges),
Word of Mouth (Orange) and Louee (Mudgee) and you'll see what we mean." The
Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2007 - Ralph Kyte-Powell and Huon Hooke
