Skillogalee D Block Clare Valley Grenache 2024 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From vines of more than 50 years of age at a lofty elevation of 462m, just 50 dozen bottles represent a benchmark Clare Grenache of fragrant lift, fine-boned structure and vibrant elegance. I love the way this cool site elevates the tangy strawberry and raspberry fruits of Grenache and heightens its rose hip aromatics, making for a wine of class and distinction.” $85. @skillogalee @clarevalleywineandgrape #structure #vibrant #elegance #Grenache #ClareValley ❤️

Kaesler The Fave Barossa Valley Grenache 2023 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “From the favourite Grenache vineyard of the estate, planted in 1930, this is a vintage that captures the lifted fragrance of a cool season, heightened by the spice of whole bunch fermentation. I love its tangy core of red berries and the fine-grained texture created by careful treatment: wild fermentation, punching down, pumping over and long skin contact. The result takes Kaesler to new heights of eloquence and sophistication.” $60. @kaeslerwine @barossawines #eloquence #sophistication 🙌❤️

In the latest issue of WBM - Australia’s Wine Business Magazine Richard shares 30 Learnings in 30 Years in the Wine Industry. “Having the best talent in the game can quickly result in dysfunction unless your culture brings the best out in everyone - not just the loudest voices.” @richardvanruth #winebusiness #wineindustry #wine #sales #marketing

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
