"It’s time for us to recognise the magnificence that is
Mulline. Two years running it has come ridiculously close to winning our Shiraz of the Year award (it’s come second twice, and effectively lost both years on a countback), which is an incredible feat in itself, but is all the more remarkable when you factor in that Mulline is a small producer in the Geelong region and that it’s only been in operation since 2019. Such excellence never springs out of nowhere, and that’s certainly the case with Mulline.

Clearly there are some fantastic vineyard resources in play here but the person who makes the wine – Ben Mullen – could not come more highly credentialled.

Mulline wins our Best Value winery award courtesy of the fact that its wines are of outstanding quality, full stop, regardless of price, but also because of these startling facts: 19 of Mulline’s wines, all priced under $60, have been awarded 90 points or higher in the past year. Fifteen of these wines scored 94 or higher, 13 scored 95 or higher, and five of the wines scored 97.

Mulline's wines are not bargain budget, for certain, but in the overall scheme of things quality that bats this deep, all at $60 or below, is as rare as it is worth celebrating."
