Agricola Vintners: A stake has been planted

One of the great joys in my wine life is when I open up the Winefront page and one of Gary (Walsh), Mike (Bennie) or Kasia (Sobiesiak) have really let rip on a set of wines, such was their love for what appeared in the glass(es) before them. There was such a moment yesterday, when Mike Bennie reviewed the 2023 releases of Callum Powell, aka Agricola Vintners. We are watching a star being born here. Callum Powell was raised in the Barossa; he knows the Barossa and Eden lands, and their peoples, as well as any; both his local landscape and the world at large are now quite clearly his oyster. Mike’s been across Callum Powell’s Agricola wines, on The Winefront, since 2019, but these 2023 releases really seem to be landmark stuff. Read these reviews. A stake has been planted.
