Sorby Adams Wines Ptolemy Eden Valley Pinot Noir 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Here’s a turnout! Eden Pinot on song. Delivers a good hit of Pinosity; bright cherry, redcurrant, truffle and mint with some gentle woody spice chiming in. Silky tannins with a little sinewy grip. Some flinty mineral notes through the wine. A stoney, dry finish lingers. A nicely put together wine.” $42. @sorbyadamswines @edenvalleysa #PinotNoir #EdenValley #93 ❤️
While our love of tipple shows no signs of waning – with eight in 10 Australians counting themselves as alcohol drinkers – consumer purchasing decisions reflect the growing popularity of mid-strength, low-alcohol and no-alcohol alternatives.

Soumah Equilibrio Yarra Valley Viognier 2023 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “From Hexham Vineyard in Gruyere. A balanced, aromatic Viognier with apricot, white florals and a subtle honeysuckle accent. The palate finds harmony in gentle silkiness in texture with freshness and yet delivers hallmark generosity of stone fruit flavour. Gentle spice and a mineral line add lift. A modern and refined take on the variety, full of clarity and vitality.” $92. @soumahwines @yarravalleywine #Viognier #balanced #aromatic #harmony #94 🙌❤️
In a parochial power move the wine industry needs right now, the team at McLaren Vale’s The Salopian Inn has announced the restaurant’s drinks menu will be devoted to Australian beverages.

Dandelion Vineyards Wonderland of the Eden Valley Riesling 2024 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Planted in 1912, Colin Kroehn tended his Eden Valley Riesling for 66 of his 86 years. He would have been mighty proud of this vintage, exemplifying the crystalline energy and the varietal precision of Riesling, while lacking nothing in concentration or personality. These old vines have infused heightened power, while cold nights have sustained magnificent acid drive that promises decades of endurance.” $60. @dandelionvineyards @edenvalleysa #Riesling #EdenValley #power #endurance #95
