Sven Joschke Wine La Adeline, Barossa Valley Rosé 2025
G 92
Light salmon pink. Bright in cherry, strawberry, raspberry fruits, spice, macaroon confection and super attractive, lifted florals. Wild yeast barrel fermentation lends fine tannins and structure to a palate bright in musk and confection notes with good depth of cherry, strawberry, summery fruits surrounded in peony florals. Approachable, easy drinking. Now– 2028 Barritt Vineyards Cheeky Chicken Chardonnay 2024 G 91 Pale lemon. Nicely poised and composed chardonnay with gentle savoury citrus skin, meal, baked bread and nutty barrel characters laid out across lemon citrus and fresh pear fruit. Combines with crisp acid crunch and plenty of supple texture. Should do well in the medium
term. Now–2030 Barritt Vineyards Renae Rosé Pinot Meunier 2025
G 91
Pale salmon. Fresh strawberry, cranberry, dusty earthy scents. Simple but charming with a mix of strawberry and cream, lightly spiced pinot meunier-led fruits nicely inflected in peppery nuance. Now–2028 Bosward Wines Touriga Fiano 2025 G 91 Pale-mid lemon. Warm, ripe aromas of yellow peach, apricot pip, almond cream, lemon curd, hint of musk stick confection. Brings fiano- style texture and warmth to the glass with an attractive nuttiness, citrus, peach, stone fruits and a confection note that rises on the back palate. Texturally fine with bright acidity. Ready to be enjoyed now. Now–2029 Camino Wine Co. Camino, Blanc de Noir Grenache 2025 G 91 Pale lemon. Dusty, earthy aromas rise in savoury notes of almond skin, saffron with quince and apple. Textural and assured on the palate, upfront in grippy tannins on a palate bright in apple and quince with a rising savoury feature of earthy, green olive – quite an individual note. A youthful mix of flavours and texture on show with a twist of savouriness which should be enjoyed early. Now–2029
