Golding Francis John Pinot Noir 2023
G 91
Light crimson in the glass. An immediate earthiness: game, char, cola and brick dust, entwined with rhubarb and sour cherry. Vibrant and juicy in style, this is light, yet retains clear fruit definition. Finishes with an attractive sappy mineral finish. A wine that will see any meal complete. Drink now–2030 Greenhill Blanc de Noir Brut Sparkling 2021 G 91 Clear lemon. Attractive perfume of quince, white nectarine and Anzac biscuit. Supple, with lovely flow in the palate – stone fruit, sourdough flavours and a hint of lees flintiness. Fine-beaded, a touch of sweetness in the centre makes for an approachable Single Varietal sparkling, well balanced by its pithy finish. Traditional method. Drink 2023–2030 Greenhill Wines Running Postman Pinot Noir Pinot Noir 2022 G 91 Estate grown, Summertown district.

Aromas suggest dried pear, baked apple and crusty pastry, with intriguing flavours in much the same realm, a delicate oak note, spiced and woodsy, with a decent foundation of acidity and soft grip to wrap it all up. Enticing. 14% alc Drink now–2028
Hither & Yon Syrah Shiraz/Syrah 2021
G 91
From a unique vineyard, on the Hills region slope of a creek line, the other side being in the McLaren Vale region. Nicely charry, with sweet plum fruit layers and earthy spices. Chalk-dusty in its feels, neatly directed forwards in the mouth, with a touch of bright lip-smack in the finish. Does nicely. 14% alc Cork. Drink now–2032 Jericho Selected Vineyard Fiano 2023 G 91 Clear lemon. Aromatically intriguing, lemon curd, mandarin, orange blossom with hints of honey and lanolin as tertiary notes start to evolve. Lovely weight on the riper side, marmalade-esque and grilled peach complemented by an appealing bitter bite. A textural wine of good complexity and length – its slightly unctuous edge makes it an idyllic food pairing. Drink now–2025
