Duff Blewitt Springs Grenache 2024
$45, 13.4% alcohol, DIAM cork, McLaren Vale.

I like to see licorice flavours in my grenache and they are here in spades, red licorice that is, though they are delivered in a context of finesse, and of sinewy structure. We have a very good grenache on our hands here. It’s ripe but not sweet, shows fragrant herb notes without being hard or overt, and feels both serious and openly delicious at once. The long dry length of the finish augurs well for the future too. 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.
