Hewitson Mother Vine Molopole Barossa Valley Shiraz 2022 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie. “As they hope for, the old-vine authority meets elegance and detail of fruit, spice, judicious oak seasoning and savouriness to be found in this wine. Forest berries, stewed and fresh, liquorice, dark chocolate, clove spice, lavender florals and earthy undertones roll through a concentrated yet remarkably composed palate. Supple, pillowy tannins and orangey freshness keep everything in balance. A deeply impressive Shiraz that marries power, place and poise with distinction.” $90. @hewitsonwines @barossawines @mikebennie101 #elegance #detail #balance #95 😊
Sisu Tasmania Chardonnay 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A tearaway producer right now, showing us a lot of flex. A focused, energetic Chardonnay where citrus and white stone fruit meet subtle nougat and hazelnut complexity. The palate combines freshness with filigree to texture, revealing a wine that feels vibrant, savoury, cool fruited and complete. Elegant and composed, it delivers on a promise of fancy. And then some.“ $55. @sisuwines @winetasmania @mikebennie101 #focused #energetic #elegant #composed 😊😊
Family ownership remains the most important model in the wine industry, especially when we look at who is making great wine and building value. The missing piece at times for these businesses is access to capital. David LeMire MW reports in the latest edition of WBM — Australia’s Wine Business Magazine. @dlemiremw #WBM #Wine #Australia

Victory Point Margaret River Cabernet Franc 2025 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Youthful expression, nailed. A lively and fragrant Cabernet Franc showing raspberry, redcurrant, violet and leafy herbal notes. The palate is medium bodied, fresh and gently savoury with fine tannins providing shape and a little pucker. Bright, energetic and highly food-friendly, it captures the variety’s charm with confidence and balance. Yes yes.” $40. @victorypointwines @margaretriver.wine @mikebennie101 #bright #energetic 🙌
