Handpicked Collection Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2024 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A finesse here. This Pinot leans into red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry fuit characters with a dusting of spice and a lash of mixed dried herbs. Silky tannins and a gentle savoury edge carry through a midweight palate. Fresh acidity keeps things lively, finishing with a subtle forest floor whisper. Beauty.” $63. @handpickedwines @morningtonpeninsulawine #95 #finesse ❤️

Ingenuity. Drive. Energy. Ambition. Belief. Wine Culture. Having a go. A bit of healthy disrespect for authority. These are the qualities that give David LeMire MW faith in the future of high quality Australian wine for the future. And maybe the most important of them is wine culture.

Grosset Piccadilly Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 scores 96 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Grosset’s fanatical attentiveness transcends even a season as hot and dry as 2025, and the result is a Chardonnay of poise, detail and beauty. I admire its pale straw green hue, its precise lemon and white peach fruit and its focus of bright natural acidity. Purity and grace are delivered with presence and confidence, magnificent from the outset and with a sure future before it.” $90. @grossetwines @adelaidehillswine #96 #presence #confidence #magnificent

Penfolds Grange La Chapelle Shiraz Syrah 2022 scores 99 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “As unexpected as this union is on every level, there was something quite profound about its execution in the inaugural 2021 vintage, and its successor is not only a grand declaration that this was no one-off, but indeed an even more coherent and harmonious blend – staggeringly profound for all it represents. Even in its tightly-coiled youth, it presents at once the grace of La Chapelle and the density of Grange, but what really sets this vintage apart is its fine-boned tannin profile of beautifully mineral finesse, and yet is mouthfilling, confident and immensely enduring.” $3,500. @penfolds #GrangeLaChapelle #99 #Shiraz #Syrah
