First Ridge Mudgee Fiano 2025 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A dictionary definition Fiano with a sense of generosity of ripe, brown skin pear, candied citrus peel, tonic water and a touch of sugared almond. Waxy texture is balanced by fresh acidity, there’s a little grip and pucker to the finish. A savoury element, or suggestions of such, too. Proper and good.” $30. @firstridge @mudgeeregion #proper @good ❤️👏
“Mainland China’s wine market is in the midst of a reset – moving away from formal dinners to more casual and intentional occasions”. In the latest edition of WBM we pull together 7 key facts about China from Wine Australia’s China Market Insight Report.
Angove Brightlands McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021 scores 95 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Juicy and approachable yet set to fuller weight, this red offers up ripe plum, juicy blueberry and a flicker of pepper and earthy clove. Tannins roll through supple, a touch of graphite and smoky minerality in the mix. There’s a brightness to the fruit that keeps things energetic, finishing long and gently palate sticking. Classic stuff.” $125. @angovewine @mclaren_vale #Shiraz #juicy #approachable #classic ❤️
When you take a closer look at who’s actually engaging with your social media content, a pattern starts to emerge. A lot of it is coming from within the industry itself, from other wineries, suppliers and the same people who probably also liked your last 5 posts. Which raises a simple question: Who are you really talking to? Tash Stoodley reports in the latest edition of WBM. @tashstoodley #WBM #Wineindustry #Australia – Celebrating 20 years of family business!
