We Taste NEW Lambert Nebbiolo, Grosset Polish Hill, Spain's New Wave, Ochota Barrels LineUp & More!

From Clare Valley icons to Canary Island curiosities, this week’s line-up is stacked. Tom and Wade taste through the hottest new arrivals at Different Drop, including Australia’s most famous Riesling, a blistering 98-point Palomino, and a Bannockburn Pinot celebrating 50 years of history.

They start with the brand-new 2025 Grosset Polish Hill Riesling, then head offshore for a Lístan Blanco from Tenerife that delivers pure sea-spray and salt. Back home, they check out Canobolas Wines Chardonnay from Orange, a label already making noise, before diving into Bannockburn’s 50th anniversary Pinot Noir release.

Also on the bench: Luke Lambert’s final Denton Nebbiolo, a benchmark Fontodi Chianti Classico 2021, and the full new spring release from Ochota Barrels, complete with the rarely sighted “Botanicals.” They wrap it all up with another chaotic one-minute blind tasting battle.
