@foodwinewords pays tribute to the late Peter Fraser in his review of the 2024
@yangarraestate High Sands Grenache; a wine he describes as “so special… so lovingly articulated, so finely but commandingly structured.”
About the
@bekkerswine 2024 Syrah, Marcus says: “…tannins uber-fine and the weight/ripeness à point, the length exceptional. A great release”.
The
@campbellswines Merchant Prince Rare Muscat NV is “a taste of history, of rare beauty, of the blender's art and of a style intrinsically of Rutherglen and of Australia,” writes
@jeniport.
@winematters says the ’24
@lightfootgippsland River Block Gippsland Shiraz is “a well-composed wine built to last some distance yet so appealing today”.
“… a fine example of semillon from the '25 vintage,” notes
@tpatersonwine about
@audreywilkinsonwine’s The Ridge. “Utterly delightful now, though it will also age with grace.”
And lastly, “bright acidity churns through the core, energising the orchard fruit,” in the 2012
@printhiewines Swift Blanc de Blancs #2, says
@shantehwale. “A beautiful late-disgorged wine, expansive and assured, with a long road still ahead.”
