Angove Brightlands McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Juicy and approachable yet set to fuller weight, this red offers up ripe plum, juicy blueberry and a flicker of pepper and earthy clove. Tannins roll through supple, a touch of graphite and smoky minerality in the mix. There’s a brightness to the fruit that keeps things energetic, finishing long and gently palate sticking. Classic stuff.” $125. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #Shiraz #juicy #approachable #classic ❤️
When you take a closer look at who’s actually engaging with your social media content, a pattern starts to emerge. A lot of it is coming from within the industry itself, from other wineries, suppliers and the same people who probably also liked your last 5 posts. Which raises a simple question: Who are you really talking to? Tash Stoodley reports in the latest edition of WBM. @tashstoodley #WBM #Wineindustry #Australia – Celebrating 20 years of family business!
Angove Warboys Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A serious red on hand. Dark-fruited with layers of blackberry, plum and black olive coupled to mocha, clove and espresso. Tannins are firm yet polished, framing a plush core and the impressive concentration of the wine. There’s a regional warmth, but it’s tempered by spice and earth, finishing long and quietly powerful. To repeat, serious red.” $50. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #94 #Shiraz #powerful ❤️
