Voyager Estate Margaret River Chardonnay 2024 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “This is fine wine territory from hello. Scents of white peach, grapefruit and nectarine interlace with cashew, nougat and a flicker of struck match. The palate is powerful yet elegant, layered with more stonefruit offset with creamy lees and nutty savouriness. A silken, concentrated texture drives long, with fine acidity keeping the wine tight, precise and refreshing. Yep.” $70. @voyagerestate @margaretriver.wine #powerful #elegant #precise #refreshing ❤️
Hutton Vale Farm Single Vineyard Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “All the class. Aromas of blackberry, plum and blueberry with pepper, clove and smoky spice in tow. The palate runs a similar line of notes, feels plush and concentrated, dark and dense with smooth tannin and a cool, spicy finish. A very serious, layered shiraz with intensity, balance and a savourines in a harmonious flow. So satisfying.” $95. @huttonvalefarm @edenvalleysa #HuttonVale #EdenValley #class #intensity #balance #Wine 🙌
Schubert Estate Goose-Yard Block Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points in WBM. “Ultra serious. Brooding aromas of blackberry, plum and blueberry with cedar, cocoa and graphite. This is powerful, layered with dense dark fruits, mocha and earthy spice. Firm yet wide, grainy tannins provide structure. Powerhouse stuff, the wine is full-bodied, concentrated and polished with lip-smacking ripeness and richness well judged overall.” $150. @schubertwines @mybarossa @barossawines #powerhouse #ripeness #richness #BarossaValley 🙌
Scarborough Keepers Of The Flame Shiraz 2023 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “This relatively new Keepers Of The Flame range is proving to be formidable. A beautiful, regional wine here. High perfume, fine texture, elegant tannin, spice and forest berry fruits galore. Rich and refined, dark fruits, dried and fresh, dashes of sweet spices, earthy tones, minerality. Polish and deliciousness. Seriously good. Drink now but do cellar some too. Collectors line up!” $100. @scarboroughwines @huntervalley.wine #beautiful #regional #wine #Scarborough #HunterValley
Hutton Vale Farm Single Vineyard Eden Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A couple of extra years before release makes for great harmony here. Cassis, blackcurrant and mulberry in the bouquet and palate, so too sweet tobacco, cedar and graphite. The palate is powerful and layered, chewy with tannin, tactile with uplifting peppery spice, grumbly with turned earth and undergrowth characters. It’s serious stuff here, with so much fruit density and yet a sense of balance and refinement. Seriously good.” $80. @huttonvalefarm @edenvalleysa #powerful #layered #balance #refinement #EdenValley #CabernetSauvignon
