Beresford Emblem Grillo McLaren Vale 2024 scores 91 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “I love the citrus crunch here and the way it contrasts with a spicy edge, fresh peach and subtle not-quite-ripe exoticism of passionfruit and star fruit. The palate strikes a compelling accord between cool season acidity, supple fruit flesh and just the right touch of phenolic grip.” $25. @beresfordestate @mclaren_vale #Emblem #Grillo #McLarenVale #citrus #crunch ❤️

Chalmers Dott Ribolla Gialla Heathcote 2023 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “The northeast Italian grape variety is in very good hands with the Chalmers at the helm. This has lots of expected quince and preserved lemon characters, green almond, crunchy green pear and touches of cut grass, jasmine tea and frangipani florals. While seemingly exotic there is a compulsion to get stuck in. It’s interesting and fun in the same breath.” $33. @chalmerswine @heathcotewinegrowers #interesting #fun ❤️
