Curtis Family Vineyard Small Batch McLaren Vale Durif 2021 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Durif does the dark fruits, the almost young port characters, maraschino, red plum, raspberry jelly with sweet spice, clove notes, some toasty, woody elements and a choc-liquorice finish. It’s unctuous but has an uplifting orangey acid profile to meter out freshness. An intense red, handled with aplomb.” $80. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale #freshness #intense #red #McLarenVale #Durif #93 ❤️

Kreglinger Tasmania Brut Rosé NV scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The Ninth Island and Kreglinger set represents the finest trio of sparkling rosés outside of Champagne, and the best value, too. Kreglinger’s non-vintage sits in the middle, a radiant exemplar of why Piper’s River produces the New World’s finest sparkling Pinot Noir (almost two-thirds of the blend). I adore its floral fragrance, its gentle juxtaposition of fruit succulence and zest, and most of all its gloriously silky texture, thanks to 18 months’ maturation on lees. This is the wine to baffle any Champagne rosé snob.” $40. @kreglingertasmania @winetasmania #gloriously #silky #texture #Kreglinger #Tasmania #Brut #Rosé 👏
Ricca Terra Una Vita Riverland Grenache Blanc 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Produced from a single plot of Grenache Blanc, fermented with wild yeast and matured in barrels. A set of ingredients that take this wine to its elevated price point and line in the sand for Riverland wines. And it delivers with its character filled drinking, showcasing fine, chalky texture, inward concentration of red apple, ginger spice, preserved lemon and faint and pleasing sea spray characters. Serious stuff, and yet with inherent, charming drinkability.” $100. @ricca_terra_farms @riverlandwine #charming #drinkability #94 ❤️🙌
