Prominent wine lawyer Will Taylor is on the cover of WBM - Australia’s Wine Business Magazine. After more than four decades in the industry, he’s seen the good, the bad and the ugly - but vehemently believes it’s all still worth fighting for. “Wine is multi-layered, he says. “It’s agriculture, science, art, culture, community. When I put my nose in a really good wine, I smile - before any alcohol has gone into my body. That’s part of what we need to articulate better: the difference between wine made with care and love, and just ‘alcohol’ as an abstraction.” Words by @katiespainwrites Pix by @mikesmithpictures Design by @naomigiatasdesign @naomi_athena WBM - the magazine for the Australian wine industry since 2005 - 21 years.

Chapel Hill The Devil McLaren Vale House Block Shiraz 2022 scores 97 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The third release in the lineage of Chapel Hill’s flagship is another grand tribute to the 1977 vines of the finest site of the estate. This is the essence of McLaren Vale Shiraz, in all of its captivating depth of black fruits of all kinds, subtly blessed with black olives, fresh liquorice and dark chocolate. Lifted violet fragrance, bright acidity and magnificently fine tannins are the signature of Michael Fragos’ art and fanaticism, which have found a new exemplar in this label. The devil is, indeed, in the detail.” $180. @chapelhillwine @mclaren_vale #97 #Shiraz #McLarenVale ❤️

Handpicked Collection Mornington Peninsula Pinot Noir 2024 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A finesse here. This Pinot leans into red cherry, cranberry and wild strawberry fuit characters with a dusting of spice and a lash of mixed dried herbs. Silky tannins and a gentle savoury edge carry through a midweight palate. Fresh acidity keeps things lively, finishing with a subtle forest floor whisper. Beauty.” $63. @handpickedwines @morningtonpeninsulawine #95 #finesse ❤️
Ingenuity. Drive. Energy. Ambition. Belief. Wine Culture. Having a go. A bit of healthy disrespect for authority. These are the qualities that give David LeMire MW faith in the future of high quality Australian wine for the future. And maybe the most important of them is wine culture.
