Victory Point Margaret River Chardonnay 2023 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Quite the fine wine here. Offers up zesty, just-ripe peach and pear, some lemon balm and flinty minerality, dashes of cinnamon, a lick of sugared almond. The palate and bouquet in accord. The wine is carrying freshness and persistence alongside gentle oak complexity in a wrap that speaks of finesse winemaking. A stylish Chardonnay that balances generosity and restraint with admirable ease.” $60. @victorypointwines @margaretriver.wine @mikebennie101 #Chardonnay ❤️
“Quality Barossa Valley Shiraz is not going away. The demand is real”, says Dean Hewitson in 19-page feature “Pressing On” in the latest edition of WBM. Available in print or digital using the link in our bio. #Wine #Australia #BarossaValley #Shiraz
Curtis Family Vineyards Small Batch Durif 2025 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Durif’s signature intensity is on full display here – right on. Dense black fruits, chocolate, lavish sweet spice and dashes of cocoa powder and figs. All this bold in perfume, wrapped in firm tannins and delivered with substantial texture. Hang on, freshness keeps things moving. A bold, deeply flavoured wine with plenty of personality and admirable balance.” $80. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mikebennie101 @mclaren_vale #bold #flavoured #personality #balance 💜
Curtis Family Vineyards Gladiator McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A bold, full-flavoured Shiraz of heft and high five glory. It wears its regional character proudly and distinctly, unctuous, ripe, soft, bold. Blackberry, plum, liquorice and woody spice notes surge across the palate and through the fog of the bouquet. Rich and generous, lush, yet framed by thick, firm tannins and then finishes with curious blood orange freshness. A hearty, satisfying wine that delivers flavour without apology.” $228. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale @mikebennie101 #bold #fullflavored ❤️👏
