I still rather like this label design. The “Pig in the House” is an organically grown chardonnay from Cowra in New South Wales. In the glass, there are aromas of lemon and meal.

Pig in the House Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2015
I thought this sauvignon blanc was a rather good one. The label’s great too. Classic SB nose of lemon and gooseberry. The palate is fresh and crisp and the balance just right. Rating: GoodAbv: 12.5%Price: $25Source: sampleVendors and website: http://www.piginthehouse.com.auTasted: 2016
Pig in the House Organic Shiraz 2014
I usually don’t comment on labels, but this one is very likeable. The wine inside (the 2014 vintage) is good too. Its aromatics are all pepper and plums. The palate is pleasant and savoury, with pepper and earth characters. A good release. Rating: GoodAbv: 14%Price: $25Source: sampleVendors and website: http://www.piginthehouse.com.auTasted: 2015
