MoneyWeek – 2023 The Long Road, Viognier, Cape South Coast, South Africa

This week, a Magnificent Seven from Tesco, starting with a very rare, elite Viognier.  Made by superstar winemaker Sam O’Keefe, of Lismore fame, this white boasts a bold palate and a swashbuckling air, while also being balanced and impeccably refined.  I rarely adore the Viognier grape, but Sam’s touch is magical. Next, 2025 Pikes Riesling […]

Believe By Jukes – in select Tesco (and select Tesco.com) and The Wine Society NOW

The Believe by Jukes story is nearly as long as the genesis of the Classic Jukes range. I have always wanted to create flavours that free themselves from all existing categories and constraints of traditional drinks. Whereas the Classic Jukes collection appeals to those seeking the most delicious alcohol-free alternative imaginable to fine wines,…

Vineyard Magazine – August 2026 – Mirror Images

Vineyard Magazine I covered a comprehensive haul of English Wines on my website for English Wine Week, including a load I found at the London Wine Fair in May.  Re-reading this piece, I noticed a fascinating pattern.  There were a number of pairs of wines, which in taste terms, at least, represented two sides of the same coin, or mirror image flavours,…

The level of detail, care and sheer hard work that has gone into The Matthew Jukes Piemonte Report 2024 is stunning. It’s not a report. It’s a 447-page book. It covers 10 years of incredible work and dedication, and Matthew’s knowledge shines through every page. His tasting notes are also a joy to read – Matthew wields his words with articulate skill. Perhaps the best Piemonte resource in the English-speaking world, this is a guide for newbies, geeks, connoisseurs, collectors, students and travellers. It is also, I might add, meticulously edited and easily navigable.

Matthew Jukes

Matthew has been a constant thread in our successful communication, not just on wine, but all things South Australian.

When I became Agent-General, I looked at all of the things that South Australia does well. There are many. But wine is the one I decided was the most appropriate to use as our ‘flagship’. Everyone loves wine. Everyone knows wine comes from nice places. We have the best wine in Australia – and the world. Matthew Jukes is the best advocate we have.

Not only is he an independent expert and an expert on wine – especially South Australian wine – he is also a brilliant communicator and an all-round good bloke. He features regularly as the star of our South Australia Club events and has become a key factor in its success. We love him.

It is a great report and your introduction is spot on.

I look closely at Matthew Jukes’ tasting notes: he is a great art critic, with a personality that cannot be influenced.

It is always a pleasure to see Matthieu Jukes every year. We find his kind comments full and clear.

Matthew is a true wine lover who goes directly to the properties for a deep understanding of the weather, terroir and winemaker. His reports are detailed, fair and concise.

Very detailed and gives great insight to your readers.

Great work.

Clear and well-written.

Your comments are really precise.
