Reschke Vitulus Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
Beautifully styled and classically structured, showing cassis, dried herb, cedary oak and subtle cocoa notes on the nose. The palate displays excellent concentration, wonderfully supported by fine texture and loads of polished tannins, finishing impressively long and refined. Drink: Now to 2035.

Zontes Footstep Lake Doctor Shiraz 2019
Yet again, the Langhorne Creek region proves just how underrated it is for stellar reds which provide gorgeous drinking. One could simply try this wine and enjoy instant conversion. Vibrant crimson colour, we have red currants, spices, notes of fresh red apples, a touch of mocha, red cherries and milk chocolate, all rich and full of flavour. There is a pleasing hint of sour cherry right on the finish. With fine, soft tannins, and nice focus with good length and balance, this will drink well for a decade. Tasted: March 2023; Drink: 2023 - 2033; Price: $30.00; Rating: 92 Points; Ken Gargett

Jeanneret Clare Valley Big Fine Girl Riesling 2023
A powerful zesty expression of Clare Valley riesling. Has two months on lees to pick up those beautiful flavour nuances while also adding weight to the palate without compromising the natural linear mouth feel. Has a chalky citrus tang with loads of persistence through to a long palate. Drink: 2024 - 2034; Price: $30.00; Rating: 93 Points; Ray Jordan

Schild Old Vine Barossa Valley Chardonnay 2022
A wine that provides compelling evidence that the Barossa shouldn’t be overlooked for Chardonnay. This one works a treat, intense stone fruit and slightly nutty characters permeate the nose and palate. The subtle vanillin oak adds further complex notes creating a most attractive wine. Liked this as a drink now style but it will benefit from a few extra years. Drink: 2025 - 2031; Price: $50.00; Rating: 93 Points; Ray Jordan
