International Wine Challenge Regional South West Wine Merchant of the Year.

International Wine Challenge Regional South West Wine Merchant of the Year.

I am so proud in this our 225th year to announce that last night Averys was named South West Regional Wine Merchant of the Year.

It is testament to our staff, both customer-facing in the shop and our customer service and Personal Wine Advisor teams on the phones.

I was among the "great and the good" of the wine trade, eminent journalists, fellow wine merchants and producers. A personal highlight was to raise a toast with the wonderful Bob Lindo, celebrating the centenary of the RAF and receiving the life time achievement award!

Cheers to all at Averys, and our lovely customers without whom we would not exist.

10 wines that tell the Averys story - Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay,

6. Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay Next up in our ‘10 wines that tell the Averys story’ is Tyrrell’s Vat 47 Chardonnay, the wine that put Australian Chardonnay on the world wine map. It’s hard to believe that fifty years ago, you couldn’t buy a bottle of Australian Chardonnay – even in Australia – it simply didn’t exist. The first commercially released Australian Chardonnay was Tyrrell’s Vat 47 1971. The story goes that Murray Tyrrell jumped the fence of the Penfolds HVD Pokolbin vineyard in the middle of the night to steal vine cuttings of Chardonnay (he’d already asked politely but as they’d refused, this was his only other option!) These cuttings reputedly went on to become the basis for Vat 47. Whether this is true or not is debatable but it certainly makes a good story! Since then, Tyrrell’s has become an Australian wine legend and that’s thanks in no small part to our very own John Avery. “The connection with the Avery family went back into the 1950s and John played...

10 wines that tell the Avery Story No 5.

5. Penfolds Grange The fifth of our ‘10 wines that tell the Averys story’ is Australia’s iconic Penfolds Grange, known as ‘Penfolds Grange Hermitage’ until the 1989 vintage. It was 1965 when a young John Avery arrived in Australia for the very first time. So rare was it for a wine merchant from the UK to visit Australia back then that he was greeted at the airport by journalists from the Sydney Morning Herald and Sydney Daily Telegraph keen to find out why he was visiting Australia and get his views on Australian wine. “ I’ve come to Australia to taste your wines as I haven’t had a good one yet.” His reply may have not been the most diplomatic but Aussie wine producers rushed to change his mind including Max Lake (Lake’s Folly), Brian McWilliam (McWilliams), Richard Hill-Smith (Yalumba) and Max Schubert (Penfolds). He toured Australia in a 1938 Rolls Royce and discovered that in fact, there were lots of exciting wines being made. So much so, that he wrote a...

Rhone 2017 Vintage Report

2017 - Small but perfectly formed Good things come in small packages goes the cliché, well cliché or not, the overall picture of the Rhone in 17 is one of reduced volumes, but broadly (whisper it) excellent quality; both North to South. In fact, the mantra being repeated by a number of vignerons I met in the sweltering conditions of August whilst travelling the region, was that the vintage in qualitative terms is parked somewhere between that of the duelling titanic years of 2015 & 2016. After regaling this sentiment to a colleague on my return, the reply was one of ‘that’s not a bad place to be’, well indeed, and from my stand point I’d struggle not to concur. This was a viewpoint echoed North to South. As ever lumping the entire all-encompassing Rhone region into one rigid narrative, or stylistic summary is almost impossible. One only has to appreciate the different natural surroundings of the split region. The north being the home of beautiful terraced vineyards, stark...
