Aphelion Trennery Grenache 2021Onkaparinga. A wonderful word. Plum and cherry, ripe and spicy, an earthy coal-like character. It’s firm and almost liqueur-like in intensity, with firm dusty tannin, and a dry plum and dried flower finish. Very good, but not quite as good as the other two single vineyard wines. Kind of sticky in its firmness. GARY WALSH, www.winefront.com
From the Onkaparinga Hills, a parcel of dry-grown bush vines, fermented as whole clusters and aged in a single, larger-format cask. This parcel was planted in the early 1970s and it has a sappy feel (whole clusters) and bright, very pure raspberries and some leafy elements on offer, as well as blueberries. The palate has quite smooth and ripe tannins, holds a fresh edge (low pH) and delivers a similar combination of red and blue fruits as seen on the nose. A little, chewy stone pop at the finish. Nuanced and elegant. Good now, but even better in a year or two. (95) NICK STOCK, www.jamessuckling.com2020GrenacheAustralia436$74.00 As low as $66.60 -
Brash Higgins CHN Chenin Blanc 2021
Chenin Blanc from McLaren Vale, fermented wild, matured in wood.
Colour and cloudiness, straw and nuts. This wine is wild with flavour. Citrus, saline, honey and handfuls of nuts. Lots of zip but lots of give/texture/flavour. Food-friendly and sit-and-ponder friendly. Dry and grippy on the finish, an attractive squeakiness there, and no shortage of length. It’s a ripper, really. It’s varietal but we are also in the presence of difference. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

Brash Higgins MCC Mataro Cinsault/Carignan 2020
Mataro / Cinsault / Carignan.
It starts bold, it finishes dry and long. It’s 14.7% alcohol but it holds it well, the finish warm but not overly so. Saltbush, blackberry, iodine, molasses and sweet, roasted game, the latter rolling through rather than gathering. Hefty but neat, is how I’d describe it. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

MMAD Shiraz 2021
The oldest shiraz vines on the MMAD vineyard were planted in 1941.
This is as gorgeous as the come. It’s loaded with pepper, violets, blue- and black-berries, stalks and dark chocolate. It presents as one and it presents as many. The flush of flavour, the almost-aniseed aspect, the finesse and the form; everything pulls in the one direction here. Spicy, fruity, stalky and more. It’s kind of take a bow time, for the vineyard, the sub-region and the team involved. (95) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
Kaleidoscopic, full of light and layer. Fresh acidity illuminates buoyant blackberry and black olive, with a festoon of violets, black pepper and liquorice. Silky dark chocolate melds deliciously with the concentrated fruit through a persistent finish with an ironstone tang. Elegantly, bony tannins maintain the graceful line. Early picked, old-vine fruit, with 30% whole bunches in the ferment. SARAH AHMED, Decanter
Deep, bright colour; a wine of tremendous presence, the whole bunch component 15-20%, 15 days on skins, 33% in concrete vessels, the balance in stainless steel and used oak. A magical combination of techniques to produce blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate flavours, the tannins almost silky. JAMES HALLIDAY, The Australian Weekend2021shirazAustralia436$77.00 As low as $69.30 -
MMAD Grenache 2021
The clarity of the wine matches its freshness; 90/10% whole berries/bunches; 20 days in Italian-made tulip-shaped concrete 4-tonne fermenters, basked pressed, matured 15 months in old French puncheons. The highly fragrant blend of cherry and plum drives a very long, fine and elegant palate. (97) JAMES HALLIDAY
The grenache vines in the MMAD vineyard were planted in 1939. That’s quite a year, in world terms, to begin your life. This wine was aged in old oak; no new oak was used.Truly beautiful grenache. Sweet and ripe but savoury and, even, crunchy with it. Best of many worlds. Woodsmoke, herbs, raspberry, cloves and a sweet earth character. The presser mentions pomegranate and it’s a good call; it beings that seed-like crunch to the wine. Tannin is ultra fine and the finish is noteworthy. Blewitt Springs is a great place to grow red wine grapes and here, again, it’s off and away, in full voice. (95) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

In Praise of Shadows Mankai Red Blend 2021
Garnacha, Monastrell, Touriga, Graciano.
So much ozone, or petrichor, here, which is so appealing. Red berries, a little liquorice and spice. Medium-bodied, at most, fresh and crisp, slightly earthy, hazelnuts, spiced poached strawberry and red cherry, emery board tannin, a distinct ‘mineral’ feel, and a cool spicy/savoury finish of brightness and excellent length. So individual. So energetic. Outstanding. Get amongst it. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
The name for this cracking little producer is Inspired by the Japanese literary masterpiece of the same name, In Praise of Shadows is. For Rob Mack and Brett Trewartha this is somewhat of a philosophical wine passion project sourcing the best fruit from vineyards around McLaren Vale, many of which are certified organic and bioydnamic. Lo-fi, unfined, unfiltered, and all that jazz. Ultimately though just really flippin delicious.2021GrenacheAustralia436$28.00 As low as $25.20 -
Hither & Yon Aglianico Rose 2023
Strong currency in regenerative agriculture and progressive environmental considerations from Hither & Yon. Here’s aglianico in a rose, pressed off slowly over/after three hours.
It’s fresh and fruity, bright and lovely. Rosy fruit characters, floral and cherry-imbued, licks of Campari and pomegranate too. A bit of grip makes things nice, a light chew and pucker making for good texture. A light dusting of peppery/clovey spice in the mix too. Just-so, easy to like, a bit serious, plenty drinkable.

Mazi Limited Release Rose 2022Mazi Wines is a collaboration between Alex Katsaros and Toby Porter - life long friends who have realised a dream to make wine together. Toby has been a winemaker at d’Arenberg in McLaren Vale for over14 years while Alex has been making wine and working on alternative variety projects both here and abroad for the last decade. All wines under the Mazi label are made dry in style and focus on food friendliness for you to enjoy the way we do – at the table with friends. The 2022 Limited Release rosé was made from handpicked Mourvedre and Grenache grapes grown in the heart of McLaren Vale.
The fruit was gently whole bunch pressed to delicately extract the spice driven, savoury juice synonymous with Mourvedre grown in the Vale. The very pale salmon hues are the result of the gentle extraction and minimal skin contact prior to fermentation.2022GrenacheAustralia436$41.00 As low as $36.90 -
SC Pannell Basso Garnacha 2020Very easy to love, such is the intuitive ease with which all components meld. From the liquorice and Cherry Ripe core, the smattering of thyme, lavender and white pepper about the seams and the carapace of wiry tannins, gritty and savoury in the best sense, this is mellifluous. The message of place, convincing; the drinkability quotient high. Poised in every way, from where it is grown, the fashion in which it is crafted and its versatility at the table. (93) NED GOODWIN, winecompanion.com
A vividly approachable and fruit-forward style that offers much in the way of blue and red fruit aromas and flavours with background spices and sappy complexity. Fleshy, instantly-appealing Grenache done right. (93) NICK STOCK, gourmettravellerwine.com

Bondar Junto GSM 2022A great makeup of majority grenache (62%) with a smattering of shiraz, mataro and cinsault, reminiscent of a classic southern Rhône blend, albeit, with a lighter touch. As good, too. Effusive blue- and red-fruit allusions teem along rails of gentle tannins, a burr of whole-bunch spice as seasoning. A sweep of maritime salinity at the finish. Such a complete and joyous wine, light of feel. It would be churlish not to drink a great deal of it. NED GOODWIN, James Halliday
"There must be a bit of magic behind Bondar. All of the wines have an ethereal quality"- JANE FAULKNER, James Halliday Wine Companion 2018
We can't agree more. What Adre has created here in such a short time is impressive. His wines always display a wonderful transparency to site while never shying away from sweet open fruit profiles. However, the never lack any sense of complexity and depth despite their easy-going nature. I am not sure subtle is quite the right word but maybe an understated ease better describes what is going on here. Whatever it is, it works, and his numerous nominations, rewards and accolades are testament that he is doing something very right.

SC Pannell Smart Grenache Clarendon 2021The 2021 Smart Grenache is very fine and bright with punctuating, pop rocky acid through the fruit. This is incredibly bright and exciting - the lingering spool of tannins and acid merge through the finish. There is pomegranate and raspberry pip, red licorice, fennel flower and a smattering of saffron. This is a fantastic, elongated wine that will age gracefully. (96) ERIN LARKIN, wineadvocate.com
Very lithe and fine, pure and frisky, sheathed in silty tannin, juicy in a way and with weight set to medium or just under. Succulent red cherry, brick-ish dusty elements in woody spices and twiggy, dried herbs, a faint fennel note, salted liquorice faintly there. Fragrant too, oh so very much. Savoury scents through with just ripe cherry underlying. That tension is so appealing and refreshing. Compelling drinking. (96) MIKE BENNIE, winefront.com
Really attractive ripe strawberry with orange peel aromas that follow through to a medium to full body with dusty tannins and plenty of lemon rind texture to the vivid fruits. (95) JAMES SUCKLING

Ministry of Clouds Carignan Grenache 2022
Blewitt Springs Grenache (1940’s plantings) with 30% Carignan from the estate vineyard in Seaview.
Pretty, raspberry and strawberry, a smattering of dried herbs, almond paste, white pepper. Medium-bodied, juicy red fruits, but good freshness and control through the palate, acidity has a bit of ‘mineral’ thing. Iron filings. It offers a lively finish of good length, that’s bright, and sweet/sappy. Delightful. Such a good drink. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front
Light, clear colour. Hand picked parcels of dry-grown fruit are open fermented with a small proportion of whole bunches retained; a long time on skins, but very gently treated to provide this amalgam of red berry/cherry/spice flavours floating across the palate. A made-to-measure light-bodied wine for current consumption and serving slightly chilled. JAMES HALLIDAY
We have been fans of the wines from Bernice and Julian since we tried their tempranillo grenache so many years ago and are always stoked when they come to town to say g'day. Maybe it's our turn to go visit them. They are still going strong and have been adding to their stable of stellar wines some fine additions from their home turf in the Mclaren Vale as well as some select favourite spots around the country. This is a more recent addition and an absolutely phenomenal one at that. A perfect paring of lush grenache and spicy, vibrant carignan.2022Carignan, GrenacheAustralia436$33.00 As low as $29.70 -

Mutual Promise Nebbiolo Rose 2022Nebbiolo has to be the ultimate rose' varietal. Tart and textural, refreshing and regal. Fruit sourced from the Alpine Valley this year, it had a distinctive and pleasing wild strawberry aromatic in the winery. Slow and natural fermentation in tank to preserve the aromatics. Left with a barely perceptible touch of residual sugar to balance the tart natural acidity and generous yet finely shaped tannins as a finished wine it still has the wild red fruits but has also developed refreshing amaro and grapefruit characters.

Mutual Promise Arneis 2023Mutual Promise are wines made by Even Milne and comes from the Latin Compr Missum or compromise. The compromise being that he doesn't farm the fruit and nor does he have full control over the creative process making the wines with friends in their Beechworth wineries. The Mutual Promise in essence being that they trust in others to create as they would with the aim of quality at the forefront. The wines champion some of their favourite varieties sourced from the King and Alpine Valleys in Victoria's spectacular North East. Varietal and regional purity is the heart of these wines.
A summers afternoon, an Autumn evening, neither seem complete without a glass of refreshing dry white wine and this wine is inspired by the dry whites of Northern Italy which are home to some of the all time great refreshing dry whites. Whole bunch pressed, racked and fined to tank for cool fermentation with 50% aged in white oak for complexity. Pear skin, lemon and almond blossom and that little green nutty thing that arneis does. A little bit slippery with green peach and some light herbal notes that expand out to more fleshy tree fruits on the finish. A pretty and convincing rendition of this Italian varietal but with a little more generosity of fruit and that's a good thing.2023ArneisAustralia436$30.00 As low as $27.00 -

MMAD Grenache 2022
This is ballistically good. I doubt that I’ll taste anything much better from these shores over the next 12 months. The first thing you notice is the plushness, which is always welcome, but it’s the finish that takes things to eleven. Wow, really, this wine has a show-stopping finish on it. It’s blessed with red and blue berry flavours, cedarwood, roasted spice and earth, but itemising the flavours of this wine kind of misses the point. It’s like focussing on the colour of a tidal wave. The complete and utter command of the final flourish of flavour and tannin here feels, as you swallow, like a high water mark. I’m sold, totally sold, on this wine.

MMAD Shiraz 2022
If you’re lucky, and most of us aren’t, there comes a time in your life when it all comes together. I suspect that’s what’s happened with this Blewitt Springs vineyard, planted in the middle of the Second World War, and the collection of wine people behind MMAD, all of whom have weathered a lot of summers in a lot of places in the pursuit of wine excellence. This wine tastes of a lot of right decisions, and of a lot of time spent in the journey to them. It has texture, balance, flavour and all that, but as my mum would say, ‘any dumb bunny can do that’. More importantly, what this wine has is all the nods and winks. I once wrote, a long time ago, of a moment where union legend David Campese ran straight through a bunch of defenders without breaking stride, or altering course. He did something, something that couldn’t be seen, and made the impossible look effortless. So too here. It has degrees of silk, fruit enough, a spinnaker on the finish, a volume of nuance. If there was such a thing for single vineyard, vintage, Aussie shiraz, this wine would be classified as first growth. (97) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front
