Curtis Family Vineyards Cavaliere McLaren Vale Shiraz 2022 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A generously proportioned heartland Shiraz that’s packed with blackberry, plum, mocha and spice with all the fleshy, pulpy textural trimmings. The palate is rich and plush, framed by ripe, soft tannins and whipped fresh with orangey acidity. Full of flavour, muscularity, density, it delivers a satisfying expression of regional oomph while maintaining composure and drinkability. Line up.” $94. @curtisfamilyvineyards @mclaren_vale @mikebennie101 #Shiraz #McLarenVale #flavour #muscularity #density ❤️❤️
Shaw + Smith M3 Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2025 scores 94 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “There is a confidence and restraint to M3, even in a season as warm and dry as 2025. Purity of white peach and fig are the themes, set to a backbone of grapefruit, supported by perfectly integrated French oak. It’s ready to drink now and will hold effortlessly for the medium term.” $59. @shawandsmith @adelaidehillswine @tyson_stelzer #Chardonnay #confidence #restraint 🙌
“If it is necessary to change some aspects, do this gradually, because consumers tend to be habitual in their behaviour” says emeritus professor Larry Lockshin in the latest edition of WBM — Australia’s Wine Business Magazine. #WBM #Wine #Marketing #WineAustralia — Celebrating 20 years of family business.

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
