There’s nothing more exciting than discovering new wines, but knowing where to look for them, and then, which bottle to choose, can be overwhelming. Below, you’ll find a list of 10 newly released wines (from seven wineries in Australia and New Zealand) that we’ve curated for your drinking pleasure.
Try, for example, the 97-point sauvignon blanc from Dog Point Vineyard in Marlborough or opt for the 96-point shiraz from Thomas Wines, which Toni Paterson MW describes as "an instantly appealing wine of integrity." If you love wines from McLaren Vale, you can't go wrong with Dandelion Vineyards' Firehawk of McLaren Vale Shiraz, with its "hints of violet, lilac and anise pastille, and a little smoky coal dust savouriness", or the Family Crest Shiraz from Angove Family Winemakers, of which taster Marcus Ellis says, "this is a label you can reach for with confidence year in, year out, delivering exceptional value for the quality."
For those after value for money, here you'll find a 95-point fortified muscat from Lillypilly Estate that's $60, a 94-point cabernet sauvignon from Tenafeate Creek Wines for just $35, or a 92-point semillon from Hollydene Estate for $36. Plus much, much more.
Discover your new favourite producer, region, variety or style now by sampling these new-release wines.
