Chardonnay can be a divisive wine when really it shouldn't! If you don't like Chardonnay chances are you probably just don't like over oaked Chardonnay.

The grape variety itself is actually neutral and if you were to taste a Robert Mondavi Napa Valley Chardonnay next to a William Fevre Petit Chablis you would be mistaken for thinking they are two completely different grape varietals.

The difference? Oak

One with plenty and one without any!

In this episode of Got Somme, Yarra Valley local Brenden Robnik aka 'The Wine Animal' joins us in studio to deep dive his favourite Australian wine region while also looking at the complex differences altitude can make on Chardonnay separated only by a few kilometres.

Disagree that the Yarra Valley is the best wine region in Victoria?

Late last year Got Somme host Angus O'Loughlin was asked via our Instagram

"What bottle would you cellar for ten years"

He held up a 2021 Demi Shiraz that he was drinking in that moment.

That led to a phone call to Syrahmi owner Adam Foster who was inspecting the vines and they confirmed his studio attendance as first winemaker on the podcast in 2024!

Bottles brought into studio:

2022 Demi Shiraz

2017 Lala

2018 LaLa

2022 Syrahmi 'Angus'

2004 Syrahmi (first ever vintage)

A bit of Syrahmi: The name Syrahmi is a made up from “Syrah” the French word for Shiraz and “Ami” meaning friend. The idea being a “friendly Shiraz” or “A friend of Shiraz”. Syrahmi began in 2004 when Adam Foster gave up his day job as a Chef to pursue his dream of becoming a wine maker. He purchased his first tonne and a half of grapes from Heathcote winery and the dream was born. Each year grapes for Syrahmi are sourced and selected from different vineyards in the Heathcote region. Thus each year the wines are given a different name to reflect the vintage.

The text message from Carlos read: "Oh mate... if we can get Olivier it will be HUGE!"

The schedule was tight, 20 minutes only, to quiz the sixth generation of the founding family of Krug and it's current Director Olivier Krug. Carlos reminisces on his first experience in France at the vineyard, the incredible bottle of wine he was lucky enough to taste and how each glass should taste like a symphony of flavours.

Truly one of our favourite moments this year is Olivier describing how each Cuvee is created and how the "ego's" of some vintages need to be managed.

Raise a glass... but not a flute

(that makes sense when you watch this episode)

To Krug Champagne 🥂

Imagine being gifted a wine and not realising it's value - they make less than 300 bottles each year! 

Hiding in Angus' cellar at home was this bottle of wine and YOU could win it. After discovering the gem in his collection while speaking with Yarra Yering winemaker Sarah Crowe the boys decide to deep dive the world of 'Carrodus' Wines bringing this Masterclass on a true Yarra Yering icon.

This wine isn't made any year. It's created out of a small, historic parcel of vines on the Yarra Yering site. It's only made in exceptional conditions and only when the grapes aren't required for the No1 or No2 wines.

Also listen out for the vintage Sarah describes as "The Goat" and then keep your eyes out for it on auction, bottle shops or wine lists.
