Iggy Deda 2023
$45, 13.5% alc, DIAM cork, Barossa Valley.

Blend of Roussanne and Marsanne.

A lot of thought, care and love goes into this wine and it’s obvious in the glass. This wine has personality and character by the spadeful, and is immensely satisfying as a result. It tastes of peach, spice, butterscotch, wax, preserved lemons and toast, with mint and cedar notes as seasoning. There’s a genuine crackle to the back half of the palate – it’s like walking on a pebbled drive-way, or the wine equivalent thereof – which is a rare character and a highly prized one. This is a ripping white wine, full stop. 95 points.
