Paringa Estate The Paringa Mornington Peninsula Chardonnay 2023 scores 97 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Sourced from just nine rows of almost 40-year-old vines, this cool, late-ripening and low-yielding vintage has produced a spectacularly refined and enduring result that proves that the magnificent 2022 was no one-off. Racy lemon, grapefruit and tangy white peach present a mesmerising contrast of concentration and tension of grand cru proportions, set off with crystalline acidity and perfectly harmonious French oak. Stunning!” $80. @paringaestate @morningtonpeninsulawine #Chardonnay #ParingaEstate #spectacularly #refined #enduring #stunning #97 ❤️🙌
Clonakilla Canberra Syrah 2022 scores 96 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The north-east facing T&L vineyard is the finest block of the Clonakilla estate, and this single fermenter of pure Shiraz is a beguiling representation of the cool, long 2022 season. I love its elegance, its complexity, its detail. More restrained and delicate than ever, it’s laced with rose hip, white pepper and sage. It’s herbal but not green, tangy but not tart, understated but not underweight. Bright acidity and finely textured tannins draw out a finish of exceptional persistence, poise and endurance. Patience.” $130. @clonakillawines @canberrawines #Syrah #elegance #complexity #detail #96

Millon Estate The Materpiece Barossa Valley 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “This takes Shiraz into a very complex place; layers of intense blackberry, dark plum, choc-liquorice with clove spice, toasty notes, wheat biscuit, dried Xmas cake fruits and layers of cedary oak and clove. The added time before release delivering a touch of softening and spread – relaxed and luscious with each sip. Serious red.” $140. @millonwines @barossawines #relaxed #luscious #serious #red #95 🙌🍷
