Bondar Junto GSM 2024SPECIAL VALUE - 78/12/10% grenache/mataro/shiraz. This is the first year the mataro has usurped the shiraz in the blend; eight months in neutral oak for about eight months. This is such a joyful wine, year in, year out. Here again, the pleasure resides. Popping with red berries, cherries, cranberry, musk, rose and a dukkah-like toasted nut and spice note, if that’s not too much of a stretch. It’s lithe, textured with silky ribbons of fruit marshalled by finely tooled grip. There’s nothing from this address that isn’t top drawer, regardless of style, and this is such a pure delight. (95) MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion
Grenache (78%), Mataro (12%) and Shiraz. Sports a little bit of a label refresh.A fresh and lively wine. Has something of a petrichor character, that thing when rain hits a hot road, which I like very much. I also associate it with ozone, which is the smell when a storm rolls in and lightning starts to strike. All that nonsense aside, it’s red fruited, cranberry and raspberry, a light spiciness with some gum leaf perfume. Medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy, some Spanish black olive lends a slightly metallic and savoury element, and it sports pepper dusted strawberry and orange peel on a finish of solid length. Light and frisky, but a nice wine. Easy to like. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

Aphelion Welkin Grenache 2023Sourced from a range of Vale sites, this is at the ‘vin de soif’ end of the Aphelion grenache roster. Grenache in this zone can be juicy and jubey, but not this. It’s a thread that runs through the Welkin range, with fruitful pleasure in a mid-weight zone tempered by savoury structure. Macerated strawberries and tart raspberries, redcurrant, red licorice, rhubarb and orange, pink peppercorn and a seasoning of dusty spice. It’s bright and lithe, savoury and zippy – a fine all-rounder at table that can take a gentle chill. MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion
Seems like my brilliant treatise on whelks fell on deaf ears. Oh well, sometimes it feels like I’m feeding strawberries to pigs here. And speaking of strawberries…Poached strawberry, raspberry, lemon thyme and rosemary perfume, hazelnut, candied orange peel and mint. Juicy, strawberry, kind of sweet and succulent, but also has a little savoury stony stuff, nutty things and solid length too, and gee it’s a fun little wine. Nice. Kind of like a big rosato in a way.

Ministry of Clouds Tempranillo Grenache 202360/40% tempranillo/grenache. From grower and estate vines with whole berry and whole bunch carbonic maceration, extended time on skins (four to five weeks), with one grenache parcel at 25 weeks; maturation in 3500 and 5000L foudre, eggs and puncheons. Tempranillo leads with cherry, anise, cola and black plum accented by spicy stem and skin notes; the grenache percolates up with wild raspberry and rosehip notes while giving the palate a more open feel, moderating its partner’s tannins through the middle, cleaning up the tail and giving this real gastronomic purpose.

Brash Higgins Ripple 2023This wine, the 2023, is made from freshly picked, whole bunch Nero d’Avola grapes which were engulfed with direct pressed Cabernet Sauvignon, as fortold. All the Cab juice covered the Nero grapes and their stems, submerging the clusters completely. The idea is that the sugar in the Nero berries, starved of oxygen, will ferment inside their little berry bodies and create a lighter, slightly confectionary flavour profile. All the fruit for the ensuing wine was handpicked off our organic Omensetter Estate Vineyard.2020Australia436$34.00 As low as $30.60 -

Inkwell Black and Blue Fortified 2020 375mlThe last pick at Inkwell, this is fortified and matured in 100-year-old reconditioned fortified barrels in a shed that transfers the ups and downs of the seasons over two years. Dark in the glass and moody, this is a wine that feels like those two years have been tough but deeply character building rather than debilitating. It bristles with black fruits and spices, oolong tea, rum-soaked raisins, plum pudding, allspice, cloves, Braulio amaro, toasted hazelnuts, the spirit perfectly judged, elevating without eclipsing. A triumph. 375ml. (97) MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion2020Australia436$38.00 As low as $34.20 -
Living Roots Montepulciano 2022This is a Limestone Coast vineyard source. Hello. Usually found in a blend for Living Roots, here seen solo.
Vibrant expression with great train tracks of tannin, medium bodied, dense but fresh-feeling, layered with woody and sweet spice, kirsch and medicinal cherry characters in the mix. Classic kind of styling. Savoury and bright fruited at once. Those tannins. A very charming, very well done red. MIKE BENNIE

Living Roots Cabernet Tannat 2020A bit of a wow wine here. Big and bold, fuller flavoured, concentration and power on hand, yet, amongst that, freshness, brightness, herbal lift and a littering of spice, amaro, dried citrus and savoury-earthiness. Amazing Italianate tannin profile, outstanding length, succulence and vibrancy. Killer wine. MIKE BENNIE2020Cabernet SauvignonAustralia436$38.00 As low as $34.20 -
Aphelion The Confluence Grenache 2023Blewitt Springs fruit off 85-year-old bush vines, fermented with 30% whole bunches, some extended skin contact, raised in puncheons, demi-muids and a 2,400-litre cask. This is all charm, but with a distinctly sophisticated elegance of delivery, with all the expected pops of red fruit – raspberry, red cherry, redcurrant, some pomegranate – conveyed with vibrancy but never confection, florals, white pepper, musk and a hint of orange peel accenting. The tannins are fine, naturally wrought, food friendly and perfectly synched with the medium fruit weight. Just lovely. MARCUS ELLIS winecompanion.com2023GrenacheAustralia436$40.00 As low as $36.00 -

Brash Higgins RSM Semillon Riesling 2022From 1975 plantings in Blewitt Spring, riesling (70%) and semillon (30%) are picked together, kept on skins for a couple of days, then basket pressed for co-ferment in old barrels and one steel vat. This is a fuller-bodied expression of two varieties that are often represented in more trim form. Lightly oily and saline of feel, this still has zest and verve, with pungent lime oil, stone fruit, lemon pith, mint, fresh fenugreek and a bitter tonic note. It's an engagingly eccentric blend.

Inkwell 'Dark Star' Late Harvest Fortified Zinfandel NV 375mlA progressive blend (solera) of every Black and Blue vintage since 2012, matured in very old wood kept within the confines of a tin shed. Oxygen, friend rather than foe. Leather, varnish and walnut. Molasses, date, raisin, camphor, clove, cinnamon stick and tamarind. There is a prodigious carnal complexity and intensity, albeit, an excessive spiritous burn that detracts slightly. NED GOODWIN MW, Halliday Wine Companion2018Australia436$58.00 As low as $52.20 -
Yangarra King's Wood Shiraz 2023From the 2.3ha Block 12, a southeast-facing sand and ironstone outcrop; 20% whole bunch, with 80% sorted and crushed; matured in 2500L French and Austrian oak for 16 months. This opens with a little reductive cloak, which is appealing in itself, if a little occluding of the fruit. Initially at least. There's a Rhône-like feel, with a spicy, smoky angle. Fruit flavours roll through blackberry pastille, blueberry, tart boysenberry and black cherry, accented with malted barley, rolling tobacco, roasted meat, freshly ground coffee, star anise, cassia and allspice. There's an underlying finesse here, as with all the '23s, both red and white. Excellent. (96) MARCUS ELLIS, winecompanion.com2023shirazAustralia436$60.00 As low as $54.00 -
Yangarra Roux Beaute Roussanne 2023Predominantly from the oldest roussanne planting, a 1ha block, with a small parcel (15%) from younger vines for fragrance. The compression of power is becoming a key feature of what is one of Australia's finest white wines. It's refreshing to see the varietal hegemony of the usual suspects being consistently challenged. This, from a celebrated cool year, is at the start of a long and promising journey, somewhat shy, but layered with interest. Green almond, pear, pickled peach, pineapple quince, lemon balm, mint, young sage, oyster shell and a rocky, pumice-like mineral note, which is echoed by the ultrafine pithiness of the palate. It's another superb release, but it's one that needs a little time to settle into its long stride. (97) MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion2023RoussaneAustralia436$60.00 As low as $54.00 -
Yangarra Ovitelli Blanc 2023From original '46 vines next to the High Sands block. The '23 grenache wines are very pale in the glass, and they are all a degree lighter in alcohol due to the cool year (one I love). A vintage like this really illustrates the kinship with the avant-garde grenache of Gredos, and with Barbaresco, and refined Etna Rosso (Girolamo Russo in particular), rather than almost anything from the Rhône. Savoury, dried red fruits, cranberry, cherry and redcurrant, warm terracotta, bergamot, potpourri, sumac, ground cinnamon, star anise, so tightly coiled, but also tensile, finely expansive in its flavour delivery. There's tension aplenty, and it promises to unfurl over a long life. Superb. (97) MARCUS ELLIS, winecompanion.com2023Rhone BlendAustralia436$60.00 As low as $54.00 -

MMAD Shiraz 2022If 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

SC Pannell Little Branch Grenache 2023This is an impactful grenache made by somebody who prizes Italian wines. The tannins are an immense force field, with kirsch, strawberries and dried Mediterranean herbs, and a note of almond husk that gives noble bitterness. The density, poise and grace are thoroughly impressive. This is a structured grenache built for the cellar. Drinkable now, but best from 2027. (97) NED GOODWIN MW
From the new estate vineyard for Pannell, an old but recently viticulturally retooled site in Blewitt Springs. It will be fascinating to watch this bottling over the subsequent years as Stephen and co get the full benefit of enhanced farming reflected in bottle, but this is a very bright start. There's presently a touch more flex and breadth than the other single site grenache bottlings, but still with the tenson of the year. Wild raspberry, redcurrant jelly, bitter red aperitivo, tamarind and sour cherry. Tannins are fine, insistent and sandy, acidity a driving force. This is a stellar debut. (96) MARCUS ELLIS

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2022TOP 100 WINES - Halliday Wine Companion
This vintage, a cool year and a fine one, the pinnacle Pannell grenache wines need extra time. This, from McLaren Vale, and 80-year-old vines, is majestic, corseted to a degree by the commanding tannins of the year, but not diminished by them. The Pannell mandate of preservation of freshness is still on full display, if with some initial reticence. Redcurrant, rosehip, raspberry leaf tea, crushed rose, bergamot, dried orange peel, musk, mace and white pepper – so layered – underscored by a bass note of old-vine depth serenely cruising in low gear, in no rush, quietly confident. It’s a stunning expression. (97) MARCUS ELLIS, Halliday Wine Companion
This is a chunky, earthy expression of grenache in this exceptional vintage. Notes of pickled ginger, tamarind and dark cherries. Hints of moss and iodine across the forceful, slightly drying finish. This is an immense wine, typical of the style that defines the region, which produces some of the very finest expressions of grenache in the world. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

SC Pannell Sunrise 99 Grenache 2022The Sunrise vineyard was planted in 1920. The 2022 Sunrise Grenache marks the inaugural release of this wine. Steve Pannell pruned the vineyard himself before purchasing it in 2021. The wine here is silky and seamless, packed with tannin, flavor and perfume. “I didn’t make it any differently [than the other Grenaches]; I’ve just let the vineyard sing,” he said. And sing, it does. This is a wholly complex, complete and persistently long wine. There are notes of Boscobel rose, sweet licorice, graphite, ironstone and tobacco. What a wine. In terms of character, this combines the texture and complexity of the Smart vineyard and the ethereal spice and delicacy of the Little Branch and then raises the bar of both to a whole new level. The release of this Sunrise Grenache marks the arrival of an “off-leash Pannell”; he has been tirelessly championing premium Grenache from McLaren Vale for years in his own oeuvre of structure, shape, tannin and freshness. The acquisition of this vineyard site has given him all the permission he needed, it seems. In many ways, it feels as if all of the Grenache that Pannell has made over the decades has been leading up to this point. It was worth the wait. And there are great things to come in future releases too. (100) ERIN LARKIN, The Wine Advocate
Raspberry rope, cherry pie, lots of dusty exotic spice, rosewater and musk, an earthy coffee ground bassnote. It’s medium to full-bodied, lavish earthy and stony tannin, ginger and dried spice, almonds, a juicy orange character in flavour and acidity, then grainy and gently sappy on a finish that’s bold and long, though not without succulence of red fruits and so much energy. It’s superb. (97) GARY WALSH, The Winefront2020GrenacheAustralia436$255.00 As low as $229.50 -
