Kosciusko Tumbarumba Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnay Pinot Meunier 2022 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A pretty and perky sparkling wine with enough savoury, brioche and cinnamon toasty savouriness to deliver the word ‘complex’ into the friskier, aperitif freshness of the wine. Grapefruit, tonic water, green apple crunch and a squeeze of lime here too. A touch of toastiness lingers. Good, persistent fizz too. Nicely done all up.” $40. @kosciuszko_wines @tumbarumbawine #pretty #perky #wine #92 🙌

Lenton Brae Wilyabrup Cabernet Sauvignon Malbec Petit Verdot 2023 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A well-balanced, seamless red of dark plum, green olive, bay leaf, sea spray and toasty oak characters, all of this bundled up in a medium weight feel with some velvety nuance then a puckering, chewy, chalky finish from late-to-the-party but quality taninn. You get the distinct regionality here too. It feels like a fancy red and yet drinks well in its vigorous youth.” $80. @lentonbraewine #fancy #red #wine #Wilyabrup #LentonBrae ❤️
