Brokenwood Graveyard Vineyard Hunter Valley Shiraz 2023 scores 97 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From vines now 55 years of age, Graveyard remains a soaring benchmark of the elegant grace and enduring longevity that sets apart Hunter Valley Shiraz. I love the way it delivers depth of black fruits with light-as-air freshness, medium-bodied refinement and lift. Fine-grained mineral tannins and bright acidity mesh on a finish of exceptional length and seamless line.” $500. @brokenwoodwines @huntervalley.wine #elegant #grace #longevity #Shiraz ❤️
Grosset Polish Hill Clare Valley Riesling 2025 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Jeff Grosset credits a holistic biodynamic approach for vineyards he describes as “oases in an otherwise parched environment” in the extreme drought of the warm and sunny 2025 season. Polish Hill is the exemplar, delivering an effortless purity and determination that transcend this ‘testing’ vintage. Pristine lime and lemon are lifted with graceful apple blossom, reflecting the concentration of a small harvest. Pristine, crystalline acidity is supported by the bite of finely-handled phenolic grip on a long finish of bright finesse.” $85. @grossetwines @clarevalleywineandgrape #Riesling #PolishHill
“We can’t be everything to everyone, at every price point. I think a lot of wine businesses are not making just one or two too many wines, they’re making four to eight too many wines. - David LeMire MW in the last issue of WBM - Australia’s Wine Business Magazine.
