Grosset Apiana Clare Valley Fiano 2024 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “I love the energising touch of the cool 2024 season on the presence and texture of Fiano, creating a wonderful contrast between citrus zest and energy and the food-matching dexterity of supple texture and understated exoticism. Lemon and pear meet the slightest nuances of almost-ripe passionfruit. The result is one of the most compelling Fianos I’ve tasted.” $49.95 @grossetwines @clarevalleywineandgrape #brightness #energy #94 🙌🙌
Knappstein 1878 Transcendence Clare Valley Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The stars aligned when Knappstein created the first of its new tier in the beautifully cool and refined 2021 season. I love the brightness and energy it’s retained, even under cork at five years of age. Tangy blackberries, satsuma plums and liquorice are sensitively underscored by high cocoa dark chocolate French oak and magnificent natural acidity.” @knappsteinclare @clarevalleywineandgrape #Shiraz #brightness #energy #magnificent #95 ❤️🍷
“In about five years’ time, I think we will look back and see that some people used this opportunity, this crisis, to respond to the changing dynamics in ways that created lasting value. Our mission is to be among them”. David Lemire MW reports in the latest edition of WBM. Available in print or digital on our website. @dlemiremw #WBM #Industry #Wine #Australia
Curtis Family Wines Claudius McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Ripe cassis, dark plum, black olive, panforte and cedar open the wine and reflect well in a broad yet structured palate. Tannins are full and thick yet well-managed with tangy acidity keeping things upright and fresh. A Very Serious Cabernet of power and yet a sense of grace.” $500. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale #CabernetSauvignon #power #grace #95 🙌🙌
Mount Langi Ghiran Grampians Mast Shiraz 2022 scores 96 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Such was the extended ripening of the cool 2022 season that harvest pushed all the way into May. I love the effortless refinement and harmony that this brings, setting a brightness and a detail to its blackberry, blueberry and satsuma plum fruit, with all the depth of fresh liquorice straps. Bright acidity and beautifully fine tannins unite to confirm one of the greatest and most enduring under this label to date.” $100. @mtlangighiran @grampianswine #Shiraz #Grampians #effortless #refinement #harmony 🍷👏
