All the reviews of the Agricola Vintners wines from 2024 are published over at The Winefront, which is your best source for views of these wines. Having just added Agricola Vintners to the Mattinson 10-Star Winery classification though – and with a bottle of the 2024 Ebenezer open in front of me – a few quick thoughts on this wine.

I love how different this wine is. I love its fine-grained tannin, which seems to stretch longer than the 90-mile beach, and which pulls such juicy, mouthwatering acidity along with it. I love the peppery, nutty, spicy, curry-leaf characters here; and the freshness of the fruit, and the way both red berries and darker berry flavours are allowed free voice. If this wine was a band, there’d be no rifts; every member of the band would feel heard. I am much enamoured of this wine. I don’t just love its bits. I love it all.
