Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvée Grenache 2025
I've had a lot of Grenache in my time, and I must say, this Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvée sits on top of the pile. Wow! What an incredible, precise and insatiably delicate release this is. There's a wonderful sense of Pinosity here, reinforcing the old saying that Grenache is everything Pinot wants to be. Sourced from dry-grown 1956 Vine Vale vines rooted in sandy soils and matured for 11 months in French oak (32% new), it's an effortlessly elegant expression. Juicy blueberries, blueberry coulis, mulberries and red cherries glide across the palate, with a fine smear of squishy raspberries bringing irresistible charm. The superfine tannin profile is utterly seductive, allowing the fruit to float gracefully through the mouth before subtle cola notes emerge with air. Delicate spices wrap themselves around the fruit and linger across a finish that is both persistent and calming. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this evolve over several days, confirming it has plenty of life a

Byrne Farm Limited Release Shiraz Pinot Noir 2025
I do love how the Hunter Valley alumni have spread their wings across the Australian wine landscape and given the old Hunter River Burgundy blend some serious reach. Cool climate regions seem to be thriving with it at present, with the Yarra Valley a hot spot, and now Jeff Byrne has entered the fray with this superb Shiraz Pinot Noir from his patch in Orange. It's not Byrne's first rodeo, with previous vintages clearing the fence with a home run. Cool, composed and considered, much like its maker, this is a wine well worth seeking out. Silky, vibrant and dangerously moreish, it glides effortlessly across the palate with an elegance that's hard to resist. A purple flower and violet perfume skips from the glass before pristine blue and purple fruits flood the palate, delivering purity and freshness in equal measure. A subtle dusting of spice adds just enough intrigue without interrupting the flow. It absolutely oozes cool climate character, balancing energy with poise and finesse.

Byrne Farm Single Barrel Chardonnay 2025
Ooft! This is the sort of Chardonnay that proves Orange deserves far more attention than it gets. Sourced from a single 2500L barrel, it's a beautifully composed wine that balances flavour, texture and finesse with ease. White fleshed nectarine, yellow grapefruit and subtle licks of pineapple are joined by a splash of Bickford's lemon cordial. Cashews, nougat and wafer biscuit notes add complexity, while delicate vanilla cream and custard powder bring a gentle, creamy edge. Fine ginger spice threads its way through the palate, complementing the superb textural detail at its core. There's impressive length and drive, yet it all feels effortless, measured and harmonious. This is Orange Chardonnay firing on all cylinders, and if the region isn't already on your radar, wines like this are exactly why it should be. Excellent. 96/100 Region: Orange RRP: $60 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Instagram , LinkedIn and&

Hayes Family Wines Hillside Shiraz 2024
If you're chasing an old school Barossa Shiraz with no shortage of flavour, this Hayes Family Wines Hillside Shiraz delivers in spades. From the certified organic Hayes Hillside Block in Stone Well, it's dense, rich and wonderfully concentrated from the outset. An intriguing touch of apricot kernel brings almost Roussanne-like vibes before dark plums, rich cherries and black fruits take command. Layers of caramel, dark chocolate and cloves build depth, with hints of caramel slice adding an indulgent twist. Woodsy and earthy spices weave confidently through the palate, while the finish seems to go on forever, driven by remarkable persistence and moreish appeal. This is a wine that stands tall, embracing the generous, full-flavoured Barossa style without apology. Lovers of bigger, richer Shiraz will feel right at home here. *Due for release October 2026 95/100 Region: Barossa RRP: $125 Source: Sample Winery Website Subscribe to Qwine here Follow: Insta

InvecchiatIGP: Marco Antonelli – Cesanese di Olevano Romano Riserva Kósmos 2014
Nel vino, prima ancora delle bottiglie, contano le persone. Marco Antonelli e sua moglie Bianca appartengono a quella rara categoria di vignaioli capaci di trasmettere autenticità, passione e umanità fin dal primo incontro. Qualità che non sempre si trovano con facilità e che finiscono inevitabilmente per riflettersi anche nei vini che producono. Da questa visione sincera e profondamente radicata nel territorio prende forma il loro progetto a Olevano Romano, mirato a restituire centralità al Cesanese comune, una varietà spesso messa in secondo piano ma capace di farsi interprete magistrale del luogo d'origine. Sebbene l'attività di famiglia vanti radici storiche legate da generazioni alla vendita di vino sfuso, è toccato a Marco compiere il grande passo verso una produzione imbottigliata e focalizzata sulla massima espressione qualitativa. La proprietà si estende su poco più di tre ettari, gestiti in regime biologico, suddivisi tra il vigneto di Colle Amici, situato nei pressi de

48 Hours in America's Favorite Small (Wine) Town
A good weekend starts in Lodi. And from there, the weekend writes itself. Summer in Lodi doesn't really announce itself; it just settles in. The berries are sizing up on the vine, the light lingers well into the evening, and the Delta Breeze rolls through most nights to take the edge off the afternoon heat. Wine country moves at an easy pace this time of year. And here, you don't need a script, a special occasion, or even a reservation to feel right at home. That's the whole spirit of Lodi wine country: come as you are, sip as you please, and let the weekend unfold. Many of our 60-plus tasting rooms welcome walk-ins with a smile and a pour, so you can plan a little, plan a lot, or simply arrive. There's one more reason this summer feels special. In June, Parade and Steller named Lodi the national winner of the America's Favorite Small Towns 2026 competition , selected from a pool of 300 nominated towns. The judges pointed to the region's agricultural heritage, vibrant culture, an
