The Real Review: Renzaglia Wines champion the Central Ranges

The Renzaglia Family
Mark, Sandy & Sam Renzaglia

Aaron Brasher, The Real Review:

“Renzaglia is likely to be a name that you haven’t come across when it comes to Australian wine. I hadn’t discovered them until I judged in the Sydney Royal Wine Show last year with third generation winemaker Sam Renzaglia.

“I did have to admit to Sam that I hadn’t heard of his wines (or his location), but welcomed the stories around the history of the winery as well as getting an understanding of their reason for being…”

2024 Renzaglia Central Ranges Riesling

93 Points “Pale straw and bright in the glass. There some really pretty and lifted aromas of lemon pith, jasmine, wet stone, green melon and a green, twiggy lift. The palate is crunchy, punchy and pithy, with plenty of citrus tang and a touch of grip on the long finish. Fine, focused, delicious and precise.” Aaron Brasher, The Real Review

2024 Renzaglia Central Ranges Grenache Tempranillo

91 Points “Fragrant, complex, pretty and lifted aromas of pot-pourri, cherry, blueberry and bramble. The palate is mid-weighted, supple and has a lovely core of blue fruits, spice and a woodsy earthiness. Long, layered and with real drinkability” Aaron Brasher, The Real Review

2024 Renzaglia Central Ranges Chardonnay

90 Points “Lifted and pretty aromas of stone-fruit, melon skin, yoghurt, white flowers and a touch of nuttiness. Creamy, mouth-filling, layered and with a decent drive of peach, melon and some crunchy, pithy acidity. Decent length and shape.” Aaron Brasher, The Real Review
