Murray Street Greenock Marsanne Roussanne Viognier 2024 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Evidently a Rhône-inspired blend and one that delivers on that promise with character. Dried apricot, citrus, honeysuckle and gentle spice mingle through a textured, granular palate. Richness is present but checked by lemony freshness and fine chalky grip. A layered, expressive white that offers both interest and long life cellaring in equal measure.” $50. @msvwine @barossawines @mikebennie101 #Greenock #MurrayStreet #layered #expressive
Australia’s 2026 winegrape crush fell to 1.27 million tonnes — its smallest since 2000 — but the reduced national crop did not result in stronger grape prices according to Wine Australia’s National Vintage Report 2026 released today. Full story on the WBM site. #Wine #Australia #v26
Murray Street Aria Barossa Valley 2022 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Whoowee, this feels fancy. A polished and layered red showing dark berries, plum, baking spices and hints of dark chocolate and sweet turned earth. Richly flavoured but well composed with supple tannins threading through the fruit, spice and faintly minerally and smoky qualities here. There’s power and depth yet enough freshness to keep it all engaging and balanced. Serious stuff.” $125. @msvwine @barossawines @mikebennie101 #polished #layered #balanced ❤️
