“96 Points. Whole-berry wild fermentation in concrete, both small open-topped and large closed fermenters. Left 14 days on skins, matured 14 months in French barriques (30% new). Often cited as a benchmark cool-climate shiraz, there’s no denying this is yet another impressive, elegant shiraz from a strong vintage. Boasts refined richness and a depth of flavour that is well-matched to a vivacious personality. Fruit is the star, with flecks of pepper and spice assisted by plump tannins. That’s a WOW! 14.5% alc. Drink by: 2033. Screwcap. $35”- Jeni Port, winecompanion.com.au.

“93 Points. There is such a vibrant energy and purity about the Shiraz from this vineyard. This one is excellent, with lively red fruit characters on the nose and a little spicy cool climate character. Aromas of plum and cherry with just a hint of African violet. The palate is quite tightly structured with the fine chalky tannins holding the whole thing together. $35. Drink: 2023 – 2033”- Ray Jordan, Winepilot.com
