Mattinson review of Allegiance Wines Alumni Clare Valley Riesling 2025.

The bottle of pinot noir you always hope to encounter: frisky and sure-footed, nervy and composed, fruit and mineral in balance. A ripping Tasmanian release. 95 points.

So good you want to dive in and swim for the horizon. Plums, redcurrant, orange rind, licorice and ozone in a McLaren Vale grenache that Skye Salter and Charlie Seppelt should be proud of. 96 points.

Flinty and flat-out good: white peach, lactose, pear and struck match charging through a palate that's powerful without being heavy, and sensationally long. Top-quality Lenswood chardonnay, 96 points.
