Paulmara Estates Cellar Reserve Sangiovese 2024
G 90
The 2021 vintage was a superb one in the Barossa and it helps to lift the team’s prestige Sangiovese. A blood red/ruby garnet hue, on the nose we have notes of red fruits, warm earth, cherries, root vegetables and bay leaves. There is juicy acidity and the wine exhibits medium length, finishing with fine tannins. A wine which will provide enjoyable drinking over the next 4–6 years. Drink now–2031 Peter Lehmann Wines Hill and Valley Riesling 2025 G 90 Simple styling with a more green-apple-like flavour and texture note. In that realm it does a reasonable job for an introduction to the variety. Drink now–2030
