Organic Hill Founders Release Preservative Free Shiraz 2021
AU$35, 13.8% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

This is organically-grown, preservative free and blessed with substantial fruit flavour. It’s a satisfying wine and it’s also an interesting one, its blackberry and roasted plum flavours made more complex by whispers of charred meat, violets, peppercorns and mint. There’s a good curl of tannin and enough push (of flavour) through the finish to impress and then some. From every angle, including the contents in the glass, this is an admirable wine. 92 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
