Moss Wood Margaret River Chardonnay 2022 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “Enticing release of this stalwart Chardonnay, particularly for those seeking a kind of old school, good school feel. Chunky scents of sandalwood, nougat, ripe apple, pineapple, honey-butter toast. The palate rich too, though there’s a course of briny acidity in the mix, an almost granular feel to texture with wood spice sizzling through the green apple, peach and grapefruit. Lush and lovely in its way.” $100. @mosswood #MargaretRiver #Chardonnay #enticing #lush #lovely #wine

Rosabrook Single Vineyard Estate Margaret River Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 scores 94 points from Mike Bennie. “While there’s concentration here, there’s a sense of elegance and refinement. Classic regional characters abound, cassis, lavender floral lift, bay leaf, sea spray with gentle clove seasoning overlaid. Sleek in the palate, shaped with fine, succulent tannins, a sense of brightness under the potent cassis and herbal inflections. Great length of flavour too. Classy stuff.” $45. @rosabrookwines #MargaretRiver #elegance #refinement #wine #length #flavour #classy

Brokenwood Rosato 2023 scores 92 points from Tyson Stelzer. “Sangiovese and Nebbiolo make for a fantastic foundation for rosé, with colour infused through overnight maceration following foot stomping. A touch of old oak fermentation brings subtle texture without interrupting its vibrant red berry tang and beautifully refreshing acid line.“ $30. @brokenwoodwines #vibrant #refreshing #rose
