Morambro Creek Shiraz 2022
G 91
A discreet nose opens with floral hints of blue violets, deepening into dark fruit notes of black cherries and plums, accented by earthy beetroot tones and a generous hit of black pepper. The palate tells a different story, offering a composed array of black fruit, gentle vanillin oak spice, and a modest but satisfying finish. Drink now–2028 Morambro Creek Jip Jip Rocks Shiraz, Cabernet 2024 G 90 As with every reputable Shiraz-Cabernet blend, this wine offers a medley of grilled capsicum and chocolate mint, complemented by blackcurrant and black cherry aromas. It’s a very drinkable style for a mid-week dinner, combining fine- grained tannins with generous fruit power, supported by a noticeable, but not overpowering, alcohol presence. The inviting aftertaste features black fruit wrapped in milk chocolate, with vanillin adding a welcome depth of flavour. Drink now–2027 Mount Benson
Wangolina Seasons Miksi Garganega, Verdicchio, Ribolla Gialla, Pecorino 2024
G 93
A blend of Garganega, Verdicchio, Ribolla Gialla, and Pecorino, uniting two worlds, the North and Central regions of Italy, stylistically distinct yet equally appealing. A gentle medley of almond meal, nectarines, kumquat, and camomile flowers leads the nose. The palate displays a lovely phenolic bite with a salty tang that’s undeniably satisfying. With a bit of air and a slight rise in temperature, the aromatic character of this multi-blend begins to unwrap, finishing with an intriguing mineral-salty length. Drink now–2029 Wangolina The Originals Syrah 2024 G 92 Plenty of vinous youth still radiates from this wine, with a fresh, fragrant character of just-squeezed grapes defining the initial aromas. The nose is a basket of freshly harvested blueberries, blood plums, blackcurrants, and violet petals, while red liquorice and rhubarb add extra aromatic depth. Medium-bodied, with supple tannins and lively acidity, it highlights the coolness inherent to the coastal nature of the Mount Benson region. Drink now–2030
