When you take a closer look at who’s actually engaging with your social media content, a pattern starts to emerge. A lot of it is coming from within the industry itself, from other wineries, suppliers and the same people who probably also liked your last 5 posts. Which raises a simple question: Who are you really talking to?

Angove Warboys Vineyard McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A serious red on hand. Dark-fruited with layers of blackberry, plum and black olive coupled to mocha, clove and espresso. Tannins are firm yet polished, framing a plush core and the impressive concentration of the wine. There’s a regional warmth, but it’s tempered by spice and earth, finishing long and quietly powerful. To repeat, serious red.” $50. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #94 #Shiraz #powerful ❤️
Peter Sawrey has written the back label for the famous wine which honours individuals who have made a significant contribution to Yalumba’s culture and traditions. “I have dreamt about this day,” he said. “After years of telling the stories of others, I now have the honour of writing my own”.

Calabria Family Wines Alternato Montepulciano Nero d’Avola 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A vibrant, Italianate blend bustling with sour cherry, wild raspberry, blood orange tang and a sprig of dried herbs. Juicy upfront and lightly grippy through the finish, there’s a rustic charm here and yet drinkability is on song. Interesting, quietly complex, something out of the box and good.” $45. @calabriafamilywines @barossawines #vibrant #interesting #complex 🍷👏
