Mattinson review of Black and Ginger Miss Piggy Orange Muscat & Riesling 2024.

Black and Ginger Miss Piggy Orange Muscat & Riesling 2024
$33, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Great Western/Grampians.

This is a dry white wine with texture and body. It’s a powerhouse of presence more than it is of flavour, which is what makes it interesting. It tastes of orange rind and earth, rose petals and almonds, with citrussy acidity and general floral characters running throughout. It’s a wine of genuine interest but it’s also a wine that creeps up on you; every time you take a sip you notice something different. 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.
