2018 Australia

Rollo Crittenden introduced Italian varieties t this pioneering Mornington estate. Following in their father’s footsteps, today siblings (“hermanos” in Spanish) Rollo and Zoe are experimenting with Spanish varietals. For their Tempranillo, they aim to make a youthful easy-drinking style, where the primary fruit characters are dominant. The wine spends only five months in old oak to give extra complexity, without eclipsing its generous bouquet of plums, cherries and sweet spice. Extremely enjoyable now, this will drink well to 2021.

Laden with lime and green apple, this screams of the Eden Valley. There’s a hint of petrol, but it’s more dialled back that others from this part of the world. It’s very citric on the palate with lots of fresh, zippy acidity. It’s an ideal apéritif wine, but one also perfectly suited to all manner of Asian cuisines. Very drinkable! Drink 2019-2025.

With the addition over the past few vintages of fruit from both Adelaide Hills and Tasmania to the core from Tumbarumba, this has the feel of being a ‘Baby Yattarna’ in the way Bin 389 is seen as Grange’s little brother. There is a sense of precision to the lemony, stony fruit on the nose, alongside toast from the oak and a long, vibrant citric finish. This is proof that Australia can excel at cool climate Chardonnay at a sensible price. Drink 2020-2024.

Aromas of melon, pineapple and peach are present on the nose here, alongside freshly baked brioche and hints of hazelnut in the background. The palate offers zesty lemon curd and mouth-watering citrus fruit. This all leads into a saline mineral quality that’s pure and refreshing. The finish is creamy and rounded. A year or two in bottle wouldn’t do any harm, however this is already delicious, providing balance and poise. Drink 2020-2025.
