Cellar Door Price 100aud.   A cleverly made shiraz that reveals what this variety can deliver in Margaret River. It’s co-fermented with a small amount of spicy viognier and then gets a little carbonic maceration, both of which contribute to its perfumed aromas and bright palate. It then gets 17 months in a mix of French and American oak. Velvety smooth palate, yet there is power here driving a sustained finish. An effortless wine of class. Drink to: 2024-2036; Price: $100.00; Rating: 96 Points; Ray Jordan.   #NOW

Cellar Door Price 75aud. Mt Bera’s 157ha of lush hills and valley have evolved from an 1851 commercial orchard to the biodynamically grown vineyards of today. The 1990s marked the beginning of how the Horner family’s passion shaped Mt Bera’s identity, producing wines of elegance, purity and a true expression of its source. A mellow, well-balanced, fuller-flavoured red wine of intense blackcurrant, cassis, chocolate and sweet spice profile. Richness is a byword here, so too density. Tannins are robust and shape the wine well, drawing flavours long. Oak seasoning is distinct, perhaps a little too overt, so you have to step up...

RRP $75 aud. Mt Bera’s 157ha of lush hills and valley have evolved from an 1851 commercial orchard to the biodynamically grown vineyards of today. The 1990s marked the beginning of how the Horner family’s passion shaped Mt Bera’s identity, producing wines of elegance, purity and a true expression of its source. This wine deserves a quiet place and a swirl in a decanter, it isn’t yelling but speaking softly and with conviction. Plummy with boysenberry and mulberry leaf tones. There are chocolate foundation aromas mixed with coffee, nutmeg and cinnamon dust. It moves with a real sauntering pace that drifts across the...

The fruit is crushed to the press, settled and racked to tank for a cold ferment and lees ageing. Scented white flowers and lemony freshness with a cleansing palate. The fruit has good integrity, and the mid-palate has pleasing texture and breadth, plus soft, rounded edges. It is a harmonious, balanced drink with a beautiful limey core. Excellent value. 95 points. Toni Paterson   This wine was formerly bottled under the "Elizabeth" label. That  is now used for cellar aged releases.Sourced exclusively from the Lovedale vineyard, this is quintessential Hunter Valley Semillon..     #psem

"Separate parcels hand picked and destemmed, three-day cold soak then open fermented, 11 months' maturation in French oak (25% new). Curious labelling, as the Old Paddock and Old Hill vineyards are 500m apart and quite distinct. The French oak is more obvious than that of its siblings, but it's easily carried by the mouth-watering acidity of its red and black cherry/berry fruits." 97 points. James Halliday Published 06 July 2023

Hand picked, destemmed, open fermented, cold soaked then plunged; matured for nine months in French puncheons (20% new). This has a lighter, brighter colour than that of its siblings, and is lighter bodied and fresh, red fruits to the centre. It’s also more immediately approachable, its red fruits, tannin and acidity all symbiotically balanced. Yet, it will coast through the next 30 years without blinking. 97 points.

O'Leary Walker Wines was established in 2000 by winemakers David O'Leary and Nick Walker. With over twenty five years experience and established reputations making premium wine with the big companies, these two long time friends decided to take control of their own destiny and craft small batches of wine from some of the best vineyard sites in South Australia. With a great leap of faith they are now doing exactly what they set out to. "The 20th vintage and what a cracker it was in Clare. This is distinctly finer and more delicate than the Watervale wine from this vintage. It really reflects this outstanding area. Has a...

All P58 clone from '80 and '82 plantings. By Oakridge's reputation for making taut and tightly structured wines, this is the most open and immediately charming of this year's vineyard series wines. Aromas of yellow peach and gunflint lead onto the palate, which is gently textured, mouth-filling and, as always, very nicely balanced. A pleasure to drink now and over the short to medium term. 95 points. Philip Rich Published 23 March 2025.

SELECTION Selection for this Chardonnay focused on premium fruit from the cool slopes of the Upper Yarra Valley , Gladysdale (Willowlake) and Wandin East (Barkala), with a touch of estate fruit from Coldstream. VINTAGE 2023 A vintage defined by cool, wet conditions, low crops and harvesting late into autumn. The resulting wines have great depth of flavour and vibrant, balanced acidities. WINEMAKING A traditional winemaking approach was used to produce this wine – handpicking and whole bunch pressing directly to 500 litre French oak puncheons for natural fermentation followed by a 9-month maturation on lees. TASTING NOTE Pale straw and...

"Coal River Valley pinot noir made by Samantha Connew. A very pretty bright ruby in the glass with aromas of amaro and blossom-flecked red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry fruits underscored with hints of spice, Peking duck, leaf litter, dried citrus rind, struck flint and earth. It smells gorgeous, and the palate follows up with smallgoods and undergrowth and mountain herb tones, finishing long with detail, sapid acidity and powdery tannins – it's a wonderful release. If you're ever down Tassie way, make sure you check out the new Pressing Matters cellar door too. It's a beauty. 96 points." Dave Brookes ...

Ray Jordan 92 points "A juicy and vibrant shiraz chock-full of plummy ripe fruit displaying a little spice and damp, earthy characters among the more perfumed exotic notes. The palate has a grainy texture with chalky tannins and a little oak balancing the medium weight fruit. The 30% new oak adds that little extra dab of spice on the finish. Best drinking now to 2028." WINERY NOTES: COLOUR Deep crimson with a purple hue NOSE Elegant perfumed bouquet of bramble fruits and savoury spice. PALATE The palate displays considerable fruit concentration of plum and dark berries. The fine ripe tannins are very well integrated with fruity and...

James Suckling 92 points. 1 Sep, 2022 – Racy and fruity with intense aromas of dried strawberries, plums, licorice and spices that follow through to a medium to full body with a mouthful of crushed strawberries, blackberries and a splash of white pepper. Tangy and vivacious with some firm tannins. Enjoy now. 100% Carignan from 35 year old viines on original rootstock.

Cellar Door Price 180aud. This vineyard sits at 380 metres above sea level, in the Rowland Flat sub-region, Narrow Road to be specific. It is the site of the original Schild family homestead. A superb example of what a stellar vintage 2021 is. Under diam. The colour here is maroon/purple. Everything about this wine just screams big, bold, beautiful and Barossan. The noise is awash in flavours such as chocolate, plums, mocha, licorice and a hint of peppermint. Seductive in the extreme with that typical supple texture, there is juicy acidity and silky tannins. A full flavoured style exhibiting great length. Love it. A fifteen year proposition....

Cellar Door price 70aud. In 1850, 12 miles north east of Penola, Mr John Smith established a sheep station and called the site Comaum. By 1888, with the arrival of more families to the area, Comaum School was opened. Our premium Coonawarra vineyard is situated on the original school house site, and each year a special wine is released in its honour. An abundance of purple and black fruits, with concentrated notes of dark cherry, bay leaf and dark chocolate. Vibrant fruit supported by elegant tannins and subtle toasted oak create a seamless, layered wine with depth. A very fine Shiraz from Coonawarra, from an excellent vintage. The nose...

Double Gold Medal, San Francisco International Wine Competition, November 2024. Wine Spectator 90 points."...Roasted herb and saline notes add some complexity to the lush pear, peach and citrus flavors. Shows terrific intensity on the finish, where a hint of matcha green tea comes in.” Winery Note: Aroma: Berry aromas with subtle spice and well-integrated oak. Palate: Fruit-driven; bright red berry flavors. Smooth, fine-grain tannins and excellent structure and balance. This vintage is fragrant and very typical of Marlborough. Following traditional plunging of the skins during fermentation for flavor and tannin, the wine was aged...

Gold Medal, San Francisco International Wine Competition, 2026.   Ten Sisters Sauvignon Blanc has a delightfully fragrant bouquet with underlying citrus aromas. Single-vineyard sourcing allows the terroir its full expression and elicits a purity of flavors. The palate is bright and elegant with refined acidity and ripe flavors. It has good concentration and length, excellent structure, and a well-balanced finish. The sauvignon blanc is given extended lees contact — more than the majority of Marlborough sauvignon blancs — to create complexity and to bring out fruit flavors. Excellent on its own or with seafood, chicken, pork,...

Wine Enthusiast 92 points. Made with 55% Cabernet Sauvignon and 45% Sangiovese, this has enticing aromas of cassis, black tea, violet and wild herbs. Savory and elegantly structured, the medium-bodied palate shows ripe blackberry, star anise and a hint of coffee bean framed in lithe, polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink through 2025. Kerin O’Keefe.

PLATTER’S GUIDE 2024 - 5-STAR AWARD PLATTER’S GUIDE 2024 - BEST GRENACHE BLANC VITICULTURE Grown on Malmesbury shale and decomposed granite, these trellised vines allow us to precisely manage the canopy to enhance fruit, complexity and balance. VINIFICATION Hand harvested and cooled overnight, this was whole-bunch pressed to restrain phenolics, yet was fermented with a high percentage of solids to give breadth and definition to the palate. 55% was fermented in seasoned tight-grain French oak Allier and Compiègne hogsheads, and 45% of the wine in 500- and 1000-litre terracotta clay doliums preserving the crystalline purity...

TASTING NOTES: "The 2025 Turkey Flat Rose is a burst of fresh juicy summer fruits and mouthwatering flavours. Fragrant Pink Lady apples, white peach, raspberry, and floral citrus all leap out the glass, with lively Turkish delight and musk adding depth and spice. The palate is tightly woven with an abundance of red berry fruits, peach, and citrus flavours. A tightly coiled acid line full of energy and tension, is perfectly balanced with an elegant mouthfeel and textural grip. The finish is long and focused full of sophistication and control."   WINEMAKING Each individual vineyard was picked and vinified separately at...

Cellar Door Price 80aud. Blewitt Springs sourcing, 12 days on skins, 8 months in French oak. Some of the more delicate varieties and blends suffer from the indomitable oak handling here. But this – dense, burly, rich and brimming with darker fruit tones, licorice strap, smoked meats, clove and alternate spices flowing from attack to finish – relishes it. A unashamedly big wine, of poise, power and precision. Drink to: 2028; Price: $80.00; Rating: 94 Points; Ned Goodwin MW; James Halliday Wine Companion.   Another 2018 McLaren Vale Shiraz from the Ulithorne team – well, why wouldn’t you if you can!...

James Suckling 92 points. 2022 Vintage Tasted: Jul 2025 "Aromas of fresh blackberries, spiced dark cherries and a touch of dark chocolate. Medium- to full-bodied with nicely chewy, dusty tannins. Not a wine with great depth, but there is lovely balance to it." Drink now or hold.

Stelvin Closure. Wine Companion 97 points. "The 64th vintage. A wine of provenance. A wine of excellence. It ages superbly, yet is flattering when young. Perfect fruit at its core, with gentle flavours of cassis, blackberries and blueberries. It has depth, length and line, thanks to the fine, detailed tannins. Classy cabernet. This is up there as one of the finest to date. Bravo." 97 points.
