Paradigm Hill

  Having been recommended to myself and my companion by James from 10 Minutes we headed up the long driveway to the cellar door of Paradigm Wines to find a wonderfully welcome atmosphere. Ruth and George and their sweet golden retriever Jemima made us feel very welcome and introduced us to their somewhat unique tasting experience. Rather than just a tasting pour and spiel about the process, Paradigm Hill links the wines to a tasting plate of food made by Ruth that is designed to bring out the best features of the wine, and to allow the taster to identify the different characteristics that drinking wine on it's own and as an accompaniment to food bring to light. The food itself is predominantly sourced from the winery, and I have to draw special attention to the vegetable soup (designed to match with the 2015 Riesling), sourced from the couple's veggie patch and simply bursting with flavour, which did indeed enhance the green apple freshness of the wine. The tasting does cost $15 per head, but as with all paid tastings it's waived if wine is purchased and trust me, you won't walk away from the Hill without a few bottles (or a case and a half :)) tucked under your arm.
