Zema Estate Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “This is hands-down the finest estate Cabernet I have ever tasted from Zema, and I challenge you to find a greater and more enduring rendition of this grape for the price (under $30 even at full price). It’s got all the red- and blackcurrants, cassis and tobacco leaf you’d expect in Coonawarra with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins directing a finish that just keeps going.” $30. @zemaestate @coonawarra_wine #Cabernet #Sauvignon #Zema #Coonawarra ❤️🙌
“We’re proud of our history, and reaching 80 years is a significant milestone; it definitely is a time to reflect,” says Bill Calabria in WBM – Australia’s Wine Business Magazine. @calabriafamilywines
Lenton Brae Wilyabrup Chardonnay 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A refined, elegant and lighter-weight Chardonnay offering up delicate scents and flavours of stone fruit, citrus zest, just-ripe pineapple, sea spray and gentle nougat characters. The palate shows lacy, glossy texture with bright acidity underpinning its lighter flavour profile. It’s a shy wine, but refreshing and cool as is expected from the vintage.” $65. @lentonbraewine #lacy #glossy #bright #Chardonnay
