Angove Angels Rise Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A little judicious maturity here. A rich yet lifted, brooding red with dark and ripe forest berries lashed with sweet spice, choc-mint, ferrous earthiness and pretty violet lift. Tannins are plush, a little grunty, and well-integrated, supporting the generous fruit core. A bold strike with a touch of pleasing benign decay. In the zone.” $50. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #rich #lifted #94 🍷
“Almost all consumers start out as low involvement with a small percentage becoming more interested in wine over time”. Larry Lockshin reports in the latest edition of WBM – Australia’s Wine Business Magazine.
Terre A Terre Crayeres Vineyard Wrattonbully Reserve Cabernet Shiraz 2022 scores 96 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “100 percent new oak for this premier release. Dark cherry, dark chocolate, touch of mint and eucalyptus, some white pepper, turned sweet earthiness, sandalwood and clove. All of this marries beautifully and gets tightened with ribs of crushed rock tannin. Exceptional length and shape too. It delivers on a promise of very fine wine.” $90. @terreaterrewine @wrattonbully_wine_region #finewine #96 ❤️
“Australians spent $82.6 billion online in 2025, up 14 percent year on year, $16 billion of that was on food and liquor”. In the March / April edition of WBM; we provide some ecommerce tips from the 2026 Australia Post ecommerce Report.
Knappstein Enterprise Vineyard Clare Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “There’s a feeling of intricate engineering to this vintage. Cool, elegant, fine-boned, and unashamedly never more than medium-bodied, this is a Cabernet all about precise scaffolding. I love the way the bright acidity and delicate yet strong tannins of this season reinforce the limestone mineral texture of the Clare, tapped by the deep roots of 1969 vines. It has a long and enduring future before it.” $53. @knappsteinclare @clarevalleywine #ClareValley #cool #elegant #enduring ❤️
