Spring is here — so they say. The Talbots like to call this time of year “Sprinter” rather than Spring — because the weather is Spring-like one day, and truly wintry the next. Whether we call it Spring or Sprinter doesn’t really matter — the important thing is that it offers great conditions for Shiraz drinking, both indoors and out.
For the footy fans among you things are even better because it’s finals time too — and that means more great opportunities to gather friends around and bring out some of our seriously good shiraz to liven things up.
To help celebrate this wonderful time of year we’ve put together a special limited time offer on our luscious Talbots Block Shirazes: The Prince 2016 and The Sultan 2015
20% off RRP and free shipping when you purchase online by the dozen. Use coupon code FOT13. Offer only available in Australia, and expires on Monday 23 September.

Vineyard Update
The Spring growth phase has begun at Talbots Block. Based on Jimmy’s expert advice — he’s always on the money — we have slashed off the mid row cover crop; and budburst is in full cry too. For the next couple of months we will focus on establishing a strong healthy vine canopy and good fruit set, ahead of the ripening phase early in the New Year. It’s been a much drier than average winter, and the outlook is for that to continue through the growing season — so we are expecting to see lighter fruit yields when it comes to harvest in the autumn. We’ll just have to deal with the conditions— but as always at Talbots Block our priority is to grow the absolute best quality fruit that we possibly can.
Until next time…
Good drinking! And don’t forget to take advantage of this week’s special free shipping deal…
