Yalumba The Tri-Centenary Barossa Grenache 2021 scores 96 points from Tyson Stelzer in WBM. “The glorious essence of Grenache and a grand tribute to 820 bush vines planted in Vine Vale in 1889, this is a wine that has elevated in the wonderful 2021 season, preserved in all its magnificent detail under screwcap for the first time. Its fragrance is captivating, its whole bunch complexity impeccable, its fine-boned texture enthralling and its persistence haunting. Yalumba’s heritage with Grenache is approaching two centuries and this wine epitomises its greatness.” $65. @yalumbawine #Barossa #Grenache #enthralling #complexity #175years

Conte Estate Vine Shed McLaren Vale Shiraz Rose 2023 scores 91 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A straightforward pink wine but one that leaped out of a line-up for its immediate appeal and general drinkability. Charming with its cranberry juice meets pomegranate juice characters. A tickle of fruitiness but the finish is pleasingly bony and dry. Great colour, great succulent texture. A general good times kinda wine.” $20. @conteestatewines #McLarenVale #Shiraz #Rose #charming succulent #wine
