Is Wendouree worth the hype?

In this episode we see if Wendouree wines are worth the hype. We try a 2017 Shiraz Malbec ($125) and a 2006 Shiraz ($240) from Wendouree, Clare Valley, South Australia. The results were surprising. Jason also explains the similarities between growing good grapes for wine and going through a break-up. Trent shares some Australian cult wines and questions whether cult wines are good for the industry.
