All Good Things: tasting three examples from this new supermarket-targeted brand
All Good Things
This is a new brand focusing on Australia and New Zealand, with appealing, direct packaging. They are designed for supermarket shelves and there’s some promotional wiggle in the pricing it seems (the list price is somewhat inflated to allow regular discounting to drive sales: they are listed at £9.75-10, but seem to be selling at £8).
All Good Things Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Western Australia
12% alcohol. Zesty citrussy nose is bright and fruity, although there’s not a lot of Sauvignon Blanc character. The palate is light and fruity, with bright lemon and pear fruit, but it’s a bit dilute. Perfectly OK, if you are looking for a generic, crisp dry white wine. 81/100
All Good Things Sauvignon Blanc 2025 Marlborough, New Zealand
12.5% alcohol. There’s some trade-mark elderflower and citrus zest on the nose with a hint of green. The palate is juicy and lively, with nice depth of fruit and good acidity, as well as a touch of sweetness that rounds things out. This tastes of Marlborough Sauvignon. 87/100
All Good Things Shiraz 2024 Western Australia
13.5% alcohol. Spice, chocolate and red berries on the nose, which is sweet and appealing. The palate has rounded berry fruit with a touch of coffee and vanilla adding a nice framing, and a bit of complexity. Some mint/eucalypt character too, with the sweet fruit coming to the fore on the finish. Cleverly put together, this has broad appeal. 86/100
