"If you’re at all curious why Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale is the most hyped dirt in Australian wine right now, here’s the perfect entry point for imminent addiction. A worthy successor to the all-conquering 2023 vintage, it comes from 50-year-old bush vines dry grown in the sub-region’s defining sand. There’s a distinctive lift to the aromatics – abundant red berries, rubbed rosemary, a pinch of pomegranate too – but it’s the micro-fine tannin structure that really stamps its class."  Rating: 96 Points.
