Longview Adelaide Hills Riesling 2025 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “Testimony to the mettle and tireless dedication of the Saturno family, this magnificent Adelaide Hills Riesling shows nothing of the battle scars of the driest and fasted season on record. Low-yielding vines hand harvested high on south- and south-east-facing slopes are due their credit, too. I love its cool purity of kaffir lime and granny smith apple, its fruit concentration and most of all its perfectly ripe, high-energy acidity that graces a long and enduring finish. Bravo.” $32. @longviewvineyard @adelaidehillswine #magnificent #94 ❤️
Conte Estate Rock Hill McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A meaty, dark fruited red with all the McLaren Vale sweet turned earth character, bouquet garni herbal stuff in the mix, some choc-liquorice and a slip of black olive. Sumptuous in feel, generous and ample, though the finish speaks of brightness to counter nicely. Pleasing as.” $25. @mclaren_vale #Shiraz #generous #pleasing #93 ❤️

Wirra Wirra Church Block McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz Merlot 2023 scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The cool 2023 season has drawn out detail and focus in Cabernet Sauvignon, true to Church Block’s mandate of upholding varietal cues and structure. This is one for the ages, with concentrated blackcurrant fruit and dark chocolate oak united on a strong, fine framework of enduring tannins. A bargain cellaring special.” $25. @wirrawirrawines @mclaren_vale #WirraWirra #McLarenVale #92 ❤️
