My top three

Anthony Rose

Grosset-Hill Smith, Mesh, Eden Valley, SA 2012 It was telling that 10 of our top 16 wines were from older vintages. This stood out for its complex, mature, yet remarkably fresh, pure Riesling character. 98 Drink 2018-2023

Alkoomi, Black Label, Frankland River WA 2017 It’s a shame we don’t see Alkoomi as regularly in the UK as we used to because with two scoring 95 and one scoring 92, this winery is clearly doing something very right. Deserves a wider audience. 95 Drink 2018-2027

Jim Barry, The Lodge Hill, Clare Valley, SA 2017 Barry is a Clare stalwart for reds and whites, and while the family’s Fiorita (92 points) tops its Riesling range, this stood out for its vivacious elegance and incredible value. 95 Drink 2018-2026
