WATERSLIDE BAROPENED: July 9, 2015

Southgate has announced an exciting new addition to the precinct, the Waterslide Bar, inthe prime corner location opening onto the spiral staircase overlooking the Princes Bridge and city skyline.

Waterslide Bar pays tribute to the colourful area once known as “near Princes Bridge”.Favoured as a circus location and outdoor playground since the 1870s, Princes Bridge wasMelbourne’s entertainment hub until well into the 20th century. Just metres from Southgate’s spiral staircase, adventure seekers used to hop into a water chute taller than the skyscrapers of the time. They would then be propelled down a wooden waterslide, fully dressed to the nines!.

GOZ CITYOPENED: June 9, 2015A favourite at South Melbourne Market for many years, Goz City has expanded to include a new CBD store; 50 Lonsdale St, ‘Madame Brussels Lane’. “We never expected to have such a positive response when we first opened Lt Collins,” said Goz founder, Taylan Aksoy. “The Lt Collins St store is only small, so we outgrew it very quickly,” he continued. The new Lonsdale St store stays true to the gozleme we already know and love but also features a rotating roster of soups and salads as well as a liquor license.

WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY AMBER DE LUCA-TAO

LIKE MINDED PROJECTS41 - 49 Smith Street, Collingwood

Dreaming of a chilled out, refined sugar-free, clean eating, vegan heaven?

Well if you would like to make that dream a reality, Like Minded Projects on

Smith Street can hook you up.

Like Minded Projects (LM1) is an eatery comprised of three different

businesses operating under the same roof. The businesses are unlike one

another but all have the same intention, to provide you with wholesome,

delicious and good-for-you foods. Fred Gets Friendly supply salads, soups

and baked goods, Supreme Coffee Roasters provide caffeine and Ace

Cookies and Milk create cookies.

Upon entering the LM1 space you will notice that it is as fresh and clean as

the food they serve up. Glass panels line the shopfront allowing the entire

area to be lit generously by sunlight. The space is brought alive with quirky

indoor succulents potted in brightly painted ceramic beds. A visit to LM1 on

your own poses no problems, credits to the three communal tables you can

choose occupy to enjoy your meal. You’ll never be short of company.

If you’re looking to fill an afternoon with delicious, wholesome foods, Like

Minded Projects will take you all the way from lunch through to afternoon

tea.

Round one of three, Fred Gets Friendly has you covered for lunch with a

daily selection of freshly prepared salads with a mix of raw and roasted

veggies. If you’re also feeling like something a little more filling they have

a range of baked goods that can easily be heated in the griller. The usual

suspects are savoury scones, brown rice paper rolls, polenta tarts and more.

For that pestering sweet tooth, Fred has an assortment of sweet treats to

satisfy. Carrot cake, strawberry and cashew muffins and banana bread – just

to name a few.

Stop number two, Ace Cookies and Milk, is just what the doctor ordered...

according to your inner cookie monster. You can opt for a baked cookie

sandwich or if you want to sink your teeth into something a little more

indulgent, then a raw ice-cream sandwich might be the way to go. Deciding

on which cookie combination to order is not an easy feat, but a difficult and

timely one. Especially when your options are apple pie, triple chocolate, PB +

J and salted caramel. Just when you thought you had it all planned out, you

have to choose between berry beet, pistachio or honeycomb Zebra Dream

Coconut ice-cream (an organic vegan coconut ice cream alternative).

In only a few short moments I lay sight on my ice cream sandwich. Both

cookies are perfectly circular and the ice cream squished inside is so frozen

it has not melted a single bit. It takes two hands to grasp the sandwich. You

can taste the rawness of the cookies in their grainy yet smooth texture. It

contrasts the creaminess of the ice cream. It is a delicious combination.

And now with a stomach that is twice as full and triply satisfied, it is time

to make your way out. But not without a cup of takeaway frothy caffeine

you’re not. True masters in brewing a cuppa joe that is right on point, the

baristas at Supreme Coffee Roasters will chat to you all things coffee while

you wait, which might just convince you to stay at LM1 to drink your last

hurrah.

Indulgence has never been lighter and salads have never been tastier.

WORDS HANNAH BAMBRA

THE WOODHOUSE BENDIGO101 Williamson Street, Bendigo. Ph (03) 5443 8671

Around 220 kilometres north of Melbourne lies the Barmah National Park,

part of the largest river red gum forest in the world. Limbs of this blood

coloured wood are foraged from the surrounding 100 acres of farmland to

fuel the unique red gum grill in Bendigo’s only steakhouse. “It just gives the

meat that extra flavour,” says The Woodhouse’s owner and head chef, Paul

Pitcher. “I can’t even replicate it at home.”

Paul shows me the huge char grill with an enormous amount of pride. The

earthy colour of his sustainably sourced red gum stands out instantly in the

sterile and unlikely location of a commercial kitchen. As it burns and cooks

the meat, a tray of tomatoes is smoked above. There’s a sense that nothing

is wasted and everything is considered.

The Woodhouse buy all the main cuts from Everything Wagyu, a family farm

in Cohuna who only kill one animal a fortnight. “We try and take as much

as possible because it is hard for a farmer to sell all of a cow,” he explains.

Paul’s unique position as both owner and chef allows him to preference local

produce and quality food. Old breed pork comes from McIver Farm Foods,

just an hour away in Tooberac, and B&B Basil’s microherbs are picked fresh

in East Bendigo.

Telling the story of the region and its producers is an intrinsic part of the

venue’s ethos. Three years ago, when Paul and his wife were renovating the

space and installing their grill, the owner of Inglewood Beef walked through

the door. “To be honest we helped build each other’s businesses after that,

we market him as much as we can and he gives us great dry-aged beef.”

The educational approach has been adopted by a few retailers in Bendigo

as visitors want a taste of the region and locals want to reconnect. The

hugely popular fine dining spot, Masons of Bendigo, also has a suppliers list

at the bottom corner of their menu and local cocktail bar, The Dispensary

Enoteca, champions produce such as La Luna’s Holy Goat’s cheese to craft

some spectacular dishes to complement their craft drinks. “There’s a few of

us now,” says Paul about the positively burgeoning food scene in Bendigo.

“We need to be here and we need to be consistent.”

Having received a score of 14.5 (the highest of any steakhouse) in this year’s

Age Good Food Guide, The Woodhouse’s considered approach is clearly

getting recognised. The barn-like interior is warmed by a big natural fire in

winter and a covered outdoor area has been added for summer. Events such

as roast collections and wagyu and wine matches are also drawing crowds

and engaging locals.

Harnessing the general public’s interest in where food comes from and what

regional Victoria has to offer, The Woodhouse is continuing to produce

a consistent offering of quality woodfire pizzas, local wine (Heathcote,

Harcourt and Nagambie all within driving range), craft beer, organic lamb,

pasture-fed porterhouse and wood-smoked wagyu.

What stands out above all else is Paul’s passion for his red gum grill and the

locally butchered, quality meat that he cooks on it. “I still get up every day

and I always want to come to work,” he says with animation. “My love for

beef has sent me in this direction.”

Combining Melbourne’s vibrant design culture with an appreciation

of high-quality produce, has never looked so good. SAMPLE

is a beer that’s targeted towards today’s design conscious and

discerning individuals, offering a premium product as an alternative

to commercial beer.

Aptly titled; Fine Beer, the classy brews are developed through

experimentation and refinement. Working hand in hand with

Melbourne’s emerging designers and talent, you’ll find SAMPLE

not only at some of the city’s sweetest spots, but also at gallery

openings, design exhibitions, and fashion launches.

Ex-architect and Founder Vedad Huric launched SAMPLE in 2013,

creating a unique product, with the aim of design becoming an

inherent component. And if you’ve checked Instagram, magazines,

TV, even (bless), Facebook lately, you’ll see it’s not too big a leap

at all. ‘At no other time in history has food and beverage been

so aestheticised and perfected’, says Ennis Cehic, responsible for

SAMPLE’s brand direction.

This correlation between beer and design culture is interposed

from inception, not just with some snazzy labels (oh, and they

are snazzy). With small recipe experimentation—one could almost

say, concept development—in Collingwood, then full production—

roll out—at the state-of-the-art Mildura Brewery (totally the letter

pressing equivalent of a printer).

WORDS MEGAN OSBORNE PHOTOGRAPHY PHEBE SCHMIDT

A SAMPLE OF SOPHISTICATION

13

All SAMPLE batches are brewed under the Reinheitsgebot, because

let’s face it, Germans smash design. Oh? That’s not what that means?

Well, sort of. The Reinheitsgebot is an old German purity law from the

15th century, stipulating a strict ingredient list of barley, hops, water

and yeast, ensuring the product results in being as natural as possible.

SAMPLE is pushing those purity boundaries even further, with every

bottle being unfiltered, unpasteurised, and preservative and additive

free. Again, like great design, it’s about pure, undiluted talent, in… you

know, a bottle.

Purity is a huge component to the SAMPLE ethos. ‘You could say our

beers are as pure as the face of Andrej Pejic.’ Says Cehic.

Through the initial experimentation in Collingwood, the SAMPLE team

endeavour to uncover new flavours. These are released in the form of

limited edition batches, on a regular basis, setting them apart from the

stagnant stout scene. These special SAMPLEs are always ‘challenging

the status quo’, says Cehic, ‘to make sure we don’t always remain

in boring lands’. To do this, SAMPLE collaborates with like-minded

individuals (designers, duh) such as Mathery Studio, to explore the

ethos and representation behind each beautiful brew.

SAMPLE’s visual direction is a result of collaboration with art

photographer Phebe Schmidt, and inspired by a William S Borroughs

quote, ‘When you cut into the present, the future leaks out’.

With two current flagship products that reflect today’s design-affluent

society, try one of SAMPLE’s Pale Ale or Gold Ale, and see what the

aesthetic fuss is all about. An up and coming Lager will be launched

in September, too.

You may just be after a Sunday sipper, or you may want a push in

the right direction to get those creative juices flowing. SAMPLE beers

are designed not only to be simple brews, but for those who value

the combination of taste, quality and design. Aiming to encourage the

exploration of ideas, this is no plain-Jane beer folks. ‘If you’re sitting in

your studio trying to give birth to the next big thing, have a SAMPLE.

We’ve made it to inspire you.’ Says Huric.

So where do you go when you’re craving a creative epiphany in the

form of liquid loveliness? SAMPLE currently stock around Melbourne,

‘in all the good places’, says Cehic. Meaning, Green Park, Coda, The

Panama Dining Room, Tonka, Auction Rooms, Sweetwater Inn and

many, many more.

Where are they going to be stocked? ‘ We offered a couple of cases

to the Mars One project’, says Huric. ‘Haven’t heard back yet but we’re

hopeful about having SAMPLE up there with a whole new colony.’

The next inspiring idea from SAMPLE—apart from, you know, work rest

and play—is that the final stages are underway for their most recently

planned release. A new age Lager will be added to their select offering,

possessing ‘one of the most sought-after hops in the market’, says

Cehic. With a year spent getting the recipe right, the SAMPLE team

is pretty excited to see your reactions.

Currently hunting around Collingwood to bring a physical

manifestation to the slick streets, SAMPLE are also aiming to open

up a bar, brewery and experimental design platform to realise their

full ambitions, and yours of course. Their ultimate goal? To inspire

ideas in people, through always being exciting, fresh, and ambitious.

EATING OUT CAMBERWELL

If you’re forever searching for a place beyond the northern suburbs or the

CBD that combines consistently great coffee, poached eggs and service,

we may have your answer. Collective Espresso, a small but ever-busy café

in Melbourne’s leafy Camberwell, is one such establishment.

A favourite among locals and a delightful surprise among newer visitors,

this lovely little hub is scoring major foodie points for an oft-overlooked

suburb.

Owner Julien Moussi and his sister Monique bought the popular café two

years ago. They are no strangers to the evolution of the Camberwell area,

with Moussi owning many of the suburb’s best establishments – My Other

Brother, the newly opened Legacy, and Boss Pizzeria, with more opening

soon. It’s clear Moussi knows café culture, which is reflected in the quality

fare and service at Collective.

“Collective is and always has been a fun place to go to. It’s not just about

the coffee and food – the atmosphere, vibe, tunes and our great staff set

it apart,” Moussi says.

The menu changes seasonally with on-trend staples that include smashed

avocado, acai bowls, hotcakes, house-cured fish, herb-crusted schnitzel

with Asian slaw, tempting house-made doughnuts and small batch coffee.

We should reveal at this point that Collective Espresso is our local, so we’ve

eaten our way through much of the menu. These are our favourites:

Crunchy, golden cauliflower fritters with tomato chutney, goat’s cheese

and avocado. These fritters aren’t floury and dry but gooey in the middle,

providing a worthy vessel for the avocado, creamy cheese and lashings of

sweet, smoky chutney. Add a burst of yolk from a properly poached egg

and voila! Instant joy.

The porridge on offer is made with chia seeds, coconut and oats, the

combination rendering this more a light breakfast dessert than your

classic gluggy porridge. Cranberry and orange-poached pear, strawberries,

blueberries and passionfruit give a refreshing aspect to this dish, and the

edible flowers provide a cheery aesthetic appeal.

We know, we know, smashed avocado has been done to death. But

Collective’s version of this combines fetta and avocado with lemon, dill and

mint which haven’t been mashed into a grey sloppy mess, so each creamy

element maintains its structure atop crunchy sourdough toast.

Collective Espresso is one of Melbourne’s brighter stars and, guaranteed to

change the minds of Melbourne’s most notorious northsiders, is well-worth

a visit to Camberwell.

Collective Espresso is open everyday until 4pm.

EATING OUT RICHMOND

When Brad and I first started dating, pizza was a fortnightly occurrence

for us, with regular deliveries from Crust to our door.

However, as we’ve gotten older, pizza’s come up less in our monthly diet

(for a whole range of reasons), so when we do go treat ourselves with

some, it’s completely and utterly savoured.

Especially on this particular night; as I stepped off the train at East

Richmond station (I managed to find a train that goes there, amazing!) I

realised that I hadn’t really eaten all day, so I was cold, shaking and light

headed. My fingernails were turning blue!

Sustenance was needed fast, and fortunately, it was found at Wilo Pizza.

Opened by brother duo, Ollie and Will, the brightly lit, bright green space

is takeaway focussed, with only a couple of counter seats inside the shop,

and a couple of outdoor seats. But this doesn’t mean they’ve skimped out

on the menu at all. From standard classics, Hawaiian’s and margarita’s, to

some pretty crazy meat and seafood combinations, chilli chicken, spiced

lamb or maybe some prawn and chorizo?

I also loved that the regular size pizza is a 10 inches, meaning it’s a perfect

sized dinner for one, and a little softer on the wallet, the regular sized

standard flavours just $10, and the regular sized meat and seafood options

ranging from $13 to $14.

But what also caught my eye? The sides. Does one get the beef short ribs

with sweet tamarind sauce? Or the hot and salty chicken wings?

After some discussion with Ollie, our meal for the night consisted of a

mushroom pizza with creme fraiche, seasonal mushrooms, mixed herbs,

truffle oil and fresh mozzarella, a pork belly pizza with chipotle sauce,

onion, coriander, salsa picada, tangy mayo, fresh chilli, scratching and fresh

mozzarella, as well as a serve of the chicken wings and corn cobs with

tangy mayo and pecorino.

Phew.

Brad said we weren’t going to get through it all.

I told him to watch me.

And we promptly devoured it all.

The chicken wings were six golden and surprisingly meaty pieces of

chicken, a lot bigger than I had expected (and such a steal for $7!). These

were seasoned well, with a touch of heat, and were delightfully moreish. If

I wasn’t so hungry, these alone would be a pretty damn decent meal.

The corn cobs were sweet, juicy and generous with the mayo which I’m

always okay with.

For our pizzas, we got one with a gluten free base, and one with a regular

base to compare, and both were great, the gluten free base in particular

had a super crunchy crust, which I couldn’t get enough of. I liked that it

was also sturdy enough to take all the toppings and not get soggy too.

Both of the pizzas came well dressed, with just a nice balance of enough

flavour without being over done. The pork belly pizza was my favourite of

the two that evening, with the pork belly sliced to thin slivers. I particularly

loved the addition of chilli, so bright, so fun, so tasty!

I also felt after eating the pizzas that I didn’t feel heavy, they weren’t very

oily and all the toppings looked bright and fresh. All good things.

ACLAND ST CANTINA 2 Acland St, St Kilda. Ph (03) 9536 1175

WORDS MY FAIR MELBOURNE

Walking through the doors of Acland St Cantina is a bit like

being slapped in the face. One minute you’re outside in the

cold darkness of residential Acland Street, the next you’re hit

with a frenetic buzz. It’s all colour, noise and clinking margarita

glasses - St Kilda’s answer to a classic cantina minus the

mariachi band. With loud groups laughing, drinks spilling and

fingers mopping up the last of the guacamole, it’s obvious

we’re here for more than just the food. I’m not surprised.

Cantinas have traditionally been places for people to drink

and relax while enjoying tasty snacks. It was time to bring on

the tequila!

Our super friendly waitress was only too happy to offer

cocktail recommendations. Thankfully, she was bang on. Skip

the long list (it’s too loud and you’ll be having too much fun to

bother reading it anyway) and stick with the classic margarita.

Fresh, crisp and citrusy, it had us warmed from the inside and

settling comfortably into our seats for a fun evening.

The menu is broken up into small snacks, tacos from their

26

Haynes&Bruce_AD 2.pdf 1 25/06/2015 12:01 pm

‘Acland St Taqueria’, meats to share and natural dishes like mussels with

toasted cornbread or the Peruvian style kingfish ceviche. For $45 you can

save yourself the indecision and have the chef choose for you. It’s more

food than you can eat but that’s a good thing.

The tortilla chips were a solid start. Served with the Cantina guacamole and

a Serrano chilli salsa they were super thick and crunchy - a fabulous match

with my boozy margarita. Our buffalo milk burrata was a happy surprise

and not something I would have ordered. Perched on a salad of heritage

tomatoes, plump figs and fresh basil the cheese had a smooth, mild flavour

setting off the sweetness of the fruit beautifully.

Baja style fried fish tacos come out dripping with chipotle mayo and

topped with jalapeño slaw. The soft, floury tortillas made this dish but I

would have preferred a little less mayo. Cheerful arepas are presented in a

basket alongside various fillings for ‘do-it yourself’ assembly. We created

crunchy arepa sandwiches by pulling the fried flatbread apart, stuffing it

with Berkshire pulled pork and finishing it off with sweet and sour pickles.

It was a delicious, dripping dish with the punchy pulled pork my highlight

of the night.

The BBQ corn dressed with jalapeño sour cream and topped with oregano

was sweet and juicy but it was missing the smoky flavour and char grilled

texture I was hoping for. We finished off with the fundido - a classic party

dish kind of like a Mexican fondue with meat. Eaten with tortillas, both the

soft and crunchy variety, this dish is all the rage right now but it was not the

stand-out dish of the night for me.

The dessert menu deserves a mention but we were just too full to go there.

I’ll be trying the salted caramel ice-cream churros taco on my next visit. I

love a relaxed drinking spot with fun dishes and Acland St Cantina fits the

bill perfectly. It’s all about messy, dripping, sticky fingers food - best enjoyed

with a margarita in hand.

COOKING WITH EGGS

This dish is pretty damn easy and makes for a delicious

brunch, lunch or dinner if you’re an egg freak (like me).

The secret to this dish is the amount of time you cook

the tomato sauce and the eggs - make sure the sauce is

cooked for enough time for the flavours and the texture

to intensify, and that the eggs aren’t overcooked so

that your yolks are runny to dip the bread in.

PLEASE NOTE: I’ve been very conservative with the

herb estimates in this recipe. To be honest, I love the

savoury flavour of fennel seeds and I sprinkle way

more liberally than just two teaspoonfuls when I cook

this – so knock yourself out.

WORDS LAUREN BRUCE PHOTOGRAPHY GEORGIA HAYNES

BAKED EGGSWITH TOMATO AND FENNEL

METHOD

1. In a medium saucepan, sauté the onions and garlic

in olive oil. Add salt and sugar and cook until soft and

slightly golden.

2. Add the fresh and crushed tomatoes, passata,

butter, herbs, fennel seeds, anchovies and stock and

cook for 45 mins on medium heat. Stir occasionally

so that sauce doesn’t stick to the bottom of the

saucepan. Season with salt and pepper.

3. Transfer sauce to a medium frypan and spread

evenly across the base. Crack eggs so the yolks are

even across the sauce in the pan.

4. Cook for 2 minutes or until whites are just set on

top (you can put a lid on top to cover if the whites

aren’t setting). Make sure you continue to watch the

eggs, as the perfect egg for this dish is runny yolk with

just-set whites.

5. Sprinkle parmesan on top and remaining chopped

parsley, and serve straight from the pan with warm

crusty bread loaded with butter.

INGREDIENTS

2 onions, roughly chopped

3 cloves garlic, crushed

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp brown sugar

2 fresh tomatoes, roughly chopped

1 can crushed Italian tomatoes

1L passata

2 tbsp butter

1/2 cup chopped parsley

2 tsp dried oregano (preferably still on the stem –

much nicer than from the packet)

2 tsp fennel seeds (or more)

3 oil-packed anchovies, chopped

1 cup stock (I used chicken)

4 eggs

½ cup chopped parsley, to garnish

1 cup parmesan, grated

Salt and pepper, to taste

Crusty bread and butter, to serve

It was only a matter of time before I wrote about one

of my favourite coffees. But the intention is twofold

because it is this coffee that also started my relationship

with GRAM Magazine. At the end of 2013 on one of my

first visits to Piccolo Espresso in High Street Prahran,

I ordered my usual macchiato and lying in the window

was a copy of issue 35. I decided to use the signature

kaleidoscope cover as a background for my instagram

photo and the rest is history. Over a year later and I

am now writing this review and still drinking delicious

Campos Coffee at Piccolo.

Owned and run by Nat and Sam Osborne and Nat’s

sister Bridgette Kokkinos, this little space near Chapel

St is always busy with locals and a hub for the students

who study at Swinburne Uni across the road. What I

love about this cafe is not only the coffee but the

sense of family, with another sister, their cousin, and

Bridgette’s boyfriend Sam there too, helping to make

sure the place runs smoothly. Also running smooth and

fast is the coffee, with the Superior blend from Campos

being used here from the beginning. Will Young and Raf

Bartkowski who started Campos in 2002 in Newtown

Sydney believe strongly in ‘direct trade’ meaning they

buy straight from the growers eliminating the need for

a middleman. Adapting the blend depending on the

season means that each bag of their flagship blend or

as they like to call it ‘a project’ can continue to bear

the name Superior. The three primary producers are

located in Papua New Guinea, El Salvador and Rwanda

and by combining these the result is a very rich coffee

with sweet butterscotch tones and a slightly fruity

cherry taste. It’s punchy as an espresso and equally

solid when combined with milk.

I have sampled this coffee extensively in Melbourne,

Sydney and on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and

I love the fact that every time I drink it I am rewarded

with a coffee that is consistent, satisfying and truly

superior.

PIRATE LIFE THROWBACK IPA

CAMPOS COFFEE - SUPERIOR BLEND

Pirate Life Brewing burst on to the Australian beer

scene earlier this year with three canned hoppy beers

(Imperial IPA, American Pale Ale and Throwback IPA)

accompanied by some very polished branding. In days

gone by, the more suspicious beer lover would have

reacted with “They’re trying to fool is with their fancy

pictures and slick advertising!”, but what Red, Jack

and his dad Michael managed to do was establish

brand integrity from day one. It might have something

to do with Red and Jack having brewed at Brewdog

in Scotland (every beer berds wet dream) or it may

have been Michael’s years of brewery marketing and

distribution experience. Whatever it was, beer drinkers

have instantly fallen in love with these guys and their

impressive line-up.

Some of you might remember me saying late in 2014

that session beers would be a trend in 2015. Now to

be clear, I’m not here to say I told you so, rather to pay

respect to the beer industry folk much smarter than I

for letting me in on the inside knowledge! There are

many session beers to choose from right now, but none

have yet to slake my thirst for hops quite like this one.

At 3.5%, this beer delivers exactly what it says it will.

It’s hoppy, it’s well balanced and it’s sessionable. You

may experience what I experienced, which was a citrus,

melon aroma with a sexy pine finish (did I mention I

love hops?). I think my fridge will be well stocked with

Throwback IPA once the footy finals / Spring racing

carnival party season hits. After all, it’s a marathon not

a sprint.

It is winter, it is blooming cold and sometimes you just need

a red wine to make everything okay. Enter the Austrians and

their medium-bodied red grape varieties like Zweigelt and

Blaufrankisch. The best thing about these two grapes (apart from

the fact that you sound like you can speak German when saying

it phonetically) is that they marry perfectly together, which is

what brings us to Pitti - a wine made from a blend of those two

grapes from the winery Pittnauer.

This style of wine is for fans of light to medium-bodied red

wines and those that would not shy away from a glass of

French Beaujolais or even Italian Dolcetto. The Pitti has more

fruit substance than those two, but it sure as hell has the same

juiciness and a fruity note that you get with some carbonic

maceration. Fruit-wise we are looking at things like blood plums,

pomegranates, blood oranges with a slight hint of iodine and

violet.

I have enjoyed all the Austrian red wines I have come across thus

far. Not only do they appease a blistering cold winters night, they

also go with a wide range of dishes due to the decent fruit body

but lack of overbearing tannins. They also put me in a great state

of mind where I’ll dream of hiking in the Alps, sing songs from

The Sound of Music and reenact Arnold Schwarzenegger...all in

the same evening. Oh dear...
