Mattinson review of Eastern Peake Brut Nature Zero Dosage 2022.

Eastern Peake Brut Nature Zero Dosage 2022
$130, 14% alcohol, DIAM cork, Ballarat.

This wine is the antidote to the world of bland. It’s a fascinating drink, captivating even. It’s a coiled up sparkling wine of intensity and richness; it tastes of custard apples and chalk, grilled peach and honey, with ginger and the sawdust of cedar laced through. The finish then has a brine-like drive to it. It’s textural wine but, best of all, it’s a highly distinctive. Hallelujah to that. 95/100.

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.
