McWilliam’s Hanwood Estate Riverina Very Rare Tawny NV scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Luxurious and deeply complex with layers of dried fruit, caramel, toffee apple, roasted nuts and lashings of peppery and sweet spice. The palate is rich and unctuous, sticky and palate staining and yet surprisingly balanced with a lift of clean, fresh alcohol a boon. Inudlgent and opulent stuff, done so very well.” $175. @mcwilliamswines #Riverina #Tawny #luxurious #complex ❤️
In the November/December edition of WBM, Tony Love reports from the Daejeon International Wine Expo in South Korea, saying the large crowds defied all the doom and gloom news we continuously hear about young people drinking less and less alcohol of any kind – wine included. WBM is available in print or digital. Use the link in our bio to sign up. @tloveeeeee #Wine #WBM
Bosward Barossa Valley Shiraz scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Reid Bosward (of Kaesler fame) has put his own name to a label for the first time and it’s no surprise that shiraz is the best of his new Barossa range. Maturation in old oak upholds the purity of fruit from three growers in Tanunda and Bethany, set to the bright tang of the cool 2024 season. It’s well composed, finely structured and great value.” $35. @boswardwines @barossawines @mybarossa #Shiraz #BarossaValley #92 ❤️
Wine production exceeded sales in 2024-25, leading to a rise of five percent in national stock levels, according to the Australian Wine Production, Sales and Inventory Report 2025, released by Wine Australia. See the article in the latest edition of WBM
Pirie Tasmania Millésime Prestige Rosé 2023 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “This is a beautifully elegant take on Tamar Valley Pinot Noir in a fragrant, young, vibrant and fruit-focused style. Red cherries, ripe strawberries and Turkish delight strike a wonderful balance between flesh and tension, beautifully enlivened by the cool focus of Tasmanian acidity. A juicy rosé, ready to drink now.” $100. @pirietasmania @winetasmania #elegant #fragrant #young #vibrant ❤️
