Russell & Suitor Alejandro Graciano 2024
$35, 14.5% alcohol, screwcap, Murray Darling.

The beauty of this wine doesn't hit you in the face but it sure does sidle up to you. It’s not a big or richly-flavoured wine but it smells delicious and (especially once it’s had a chance to breathe) drinking it is a charming experience. It tastes of flowers and red berries, blood orange and Valencia orange. It works. It’s a very enjoyable drink, in a lighter style. 91 points.
