Torzi Matthews is a food and winemaking partnership between Domenic Torzi and Tracy Matthews. Both share a passion and firm conviction of appreciating the value of heritage in the crafting of their wines and olive produce. In 1996 they stumbled across a small, frost-pocketed hollow in the beautiful Mt McKenzie, Eden Valley and fell in love with the area for its remoteness and its diverse thin soils.

Rosato di Sangiovese. Raspberry, cherry, blood orange, some dusty and peppery spice. It's dry and a little peppery in texture, a little of that almost liquorice-like Sangiovese character coming through, again the blood orange tang, with a tight and spicy finish of good length. Nice wine here, and I reckon it will be better again by the end of summer.

Barossa Sangiovese rosé here from Xxxxx, and as is the usual Xxxxx mode, it's ridiculously well priced, sitting at just $20 in retail land. It is also a smart, juicy but very much a dry style pink wine, built in the rosato style (which means a bit more flavour. Who doesn't like flavour)? Pale copper coloured, it smells and tastes of forest berries with gently creamy edges. That contrast between berried riper fruit and a little creamy just works, even if it's not profound. Good drinking. Date: September 2024; Price: $25; Rated: 92 Points; Andrew Graham; Australian Wine Review
