12% alcohol, cork, Penedés, D.O. Cava, Spain.

This was grown organically but then, the land that this was grown on has always been organic; no conversion was necessary. The vineyard is in a national park. It’s Brut Nature.

Chamomile, macadamia and creamed honey. Highly aromatic in the most positive of ways. Yeast notes, earth, brine, pastry and cream. Milk/chamomile characters are pronounced and positively so. Milk coffee notes here too. Long finish. Unique profile. Excellent. 94 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.
