Spilling the juice on... Murdoch Hill
Murdoch Hill winemaker Michael Downer (left) is one of the most highly regarded young names in the business Down Under. Named the 2017 Young Gun of Wine (it's quite a big deal, Rob Mack and the Koerner brothers also won in 2018 and 2019), he's also cut his cloth at the likes of Vietti in Barolo and Shaw + Smith at home in the Adelaide Hills.

Wine of the Week by Martin Diwald
Every week we highlight here a wine that we're particularly enjoying right now. Young winemaker Martin Diwald's "Luft & Liebe" Zweigelt translates as "air and love". We love it, you'll love it too.
A pioneering organic winery and a charismatic young free-thinking winemaker in Martin Diwald. Luft & Liebe means "Air and Love" and as Martin says, these are the ingredients for this red wine.
Every Zweigelt bunch is cut in half, or 'green harvested', in July to get looser bunches that will stand in better stead to ripen fully. Fermentation on skins for ten days then straight into old acacia barrels. No filtration, no fining and a tiny amount of sulphites added before bottling.
Judging the best burgers in London, with wine of course.
We put our tastebuds to the test and reveal the best burger in London, and what wine to drink with it. You're welcome.
