It’s 96 points from Mike Bennie for Brokenwood Tallawanta Vineyard Hunter Valley Semillon 2019. “The famed Tallawanta Vineyard delivering a sleek and compact, light and delicate, pure and energetic Semillon. It’s fragrant, gently so, showing off jasmine floral characters, pure lemon juice, a touch of dill herbal lift and some faint sea spray characters. The palate shows some more depth, faint honeyed notes, some lanolin, but again, lemon, pure and fine, racy acidity and a long finish with some barely there sugared almond character. Beautiful wine.” @brokenwoodwines #HunterValley #pure #energetic #floral #beautiful #Semillon #wine

Pewsey Vale 1961 Block Eden Valley Riesling 2022 scores 95 points from Tyson Stelzer. “At more than 60 years of age, there is a resolute confidence to these grand old Pewsey vines, infused in a core of impressive fruit concentration and definition. The marvellous, cool 2022 season infuses a tension and brightness while a year-and-a-half of maturity draws out subtle complexity of toast and preserved lemon. The essence of Pewsey, captivating from the outset, yet infused with enduring promise for decades to come.” $35. @pewseyvalevineyard #EdenValley #Riesling #captivating #tension #brightness #wine

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
