An Approach to Relaxation Sucette Grenache 2018
$55, 14.5% alcohol, cork, Barossa Valley.

I like the rosy-ness of this wine. It’s a mature Grenache with leather, aromatic herb, orange rind and floral characters floating through raspberry, red roses and earth. There’s ample developed character here – its peak drinking time is now – but its overt rose petal characters, attached to red berried fruit flavours, make it seem both pretty and joyous. The finesse of the tannin here is, too, beyond reproach. 91 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.
