Chalari Shiraz Tempranillo 2021

New-school cool meets old school sensibilities, Chalari can do it all. They focus on classic varieties but made with a fresh eye. Their Shiraz Tempranillo from the Great Southern Western Australia reminds us of a great Rioja, with luscious spice from oak ageing, wrapped around dense forest berry and charred red pepper, a generous finish for a terrific price.

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Mourvedre 2021

Vibrant, translucent ruby in colour. The nose has notes of rose petals, musk and lavender with cranberry, redcurrant, morello cherry, pastrami, sweet spices and terracotta. Though complex, the nose presents as pretty and compact with underlying stoniness, which precisely mimics the first impression in the mouth. There's small red-berry brightness to the medium-bodied palate, and gradually those charcuterie and dry-earth notes emerge with iodine and graphite. Musky, petally perfumes waft over terracotta on a pin-point finish with powdery tannins. An … more

Frankland Estate Isolation Ridge Riesling 2023

Halliday Wine Companion Top 100 Wines of 2024

"One of the great Rieslings of Australia. This is textural as much as pure, with lime blossom, ginger flower and a touch of beeswax. Flavours of Bickford's lime cordial, lemon curd, mandarin and zest caress the palate; the talcy-fine acidity is lipsmacking. 96 points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion

Frankland Estate Shiraz 2022

"This is a shiraz of genuine appeal. The mid palate is sweet and ripe but there's a lot flying about the edges. Redcurrant and raspberry meets graphite, black pepper, clove and woodsmoke. It's soft and accessible in general but the finish is curled with just-enough tannin to give it shape and class. Very nice. Very good" Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

Swinney Farvie Grenache 2019

"What a follow-up to the remarkable 2018 debut. The high perfumed notes strike immediately and almost define what is to follow. It's a very pretty wine with more seductive perfumed notes than the 2018, most likely a result of the slightly cooler vintage. There is about 12 per cent Mourvèdre in the blend and all the fruit comes off the Swinney bush vines. Only large-format seasoned oak has been used. A striking wine of refinement and power that delivers with … more
