Schwarz Meta Grenache Blanc 2025
$40, 13.3% alcohol, screwcap, Barossa Valley.
There’s a keen renaissance going on in the world of Barossa Valley white wine and here we have a great example as to why. This wine is as characterful as it is delicious. It tastes of nashi pear, crushed fennel, brine, wax and honeysuckle and while it’s dry and textural through the finish, it’s buoyant with flavour throughout. It’s a ripper. 94 points.
