Mattinson review of Curtis Family Vineyards Martins Vineyard Limited Shiraz 2021.

Curtis Family Vineyards Martins Vineyard Limited Shiraz 2021
$50, 14% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

There’s a lot of deep, inky fruit flavour here and a lot of oak as well. It’s a Shiraz with the lot. It’s soft, luxurious, flooded with sweet plum and blackberry flavours and topped with vanilla, coconut, raspberry sauce and peppercorn. Tannin has melted straight into the fruit, and the finish keeps pushing on with the flavour. If you like ‘em big, you’ll love this wine. 93 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.
