Kyneton Ridge Macedon Ranges Sparkling Shiraz scores 93 points from Mike Bennie. “There’s a legion who appreciate the classic Aussie sparkling Shiraz, and this should delight from hello. Bold on entry with rich dark fruit flavours of blackcurrant and spiced plum, a touch of earthiness follows through, chocolate, mocha and woody spice likewise in its midst. Bubbles form into a delightful creamy mousse and it’s gently palate staining to boot. It does the trick and then some.” $40. @kynetonridgeestate @macedonrangeswine #KynetonRidge #MacedonRanges
Barratt Uley Vineyard Piccadilly Valley Chardonnay 2022 scores 93 points from Tyson Stelzer. “From one of the founding vineyards planted in the Piccadilly Valley in 1983, this is a Chardonnay that captures the cool elegance of the 2022 season at 550m elevation. Focused, crystalline acidity and grapefruit tang energise rich peach and fig flavours, neatly backed by creamy French oak. Well balanced and approachable from the outset, it will confidently hold for some years in the cellar.” $42. @barrattwines @adelaidehillswine #Barratt #Piccadilly #AdelaideHills #cool #elegance #balanced #wine ❤️
Oakdene Single Vineyard Peta’s Pinot Noir Geelong 2022 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie. “ The wine reveals layers of cherry, spice and earthy complexity with some of the hallmark regional sea spray and saltbush characters, all beautifully set up and primed in balance. The palate is silky and smooth does well-integrated, silty tannins with aplomb, and finishes with lingering, attractive woody spice. It offers elegance and depth that invites exploration in big glasses.” $45. @oakdenewines
First Ridge Mudgee Fiano 2024 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie. “A bustle of tropical fruit, nashi pear, almond and fresh herbs, this Fiano offers a medium-bodied experience that leans gently into its savoury nature and feels well balanced by lively, limey acidity. A true expression of the varietal’s unique characteristics and high drinkability on its side.“ $30. @firstridge @mudgeeregion #FirstRidge #Mudgee #tropical #fruit #high #drinkability 🙌🙌
