About this Item
The Stork 2008

Critics Ratings
'From heavier clay soil, & a marked contrast to Gravel Hill: this an Aussie-style extrovert, with upfront vanilla-oak, open almost gulpable texture - though pimento-toned 2008 is shade more elegant, less opulent than previous, reflecting vintage.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5*
'Mature, with mint, sage and bay leaf notes emerging from the core of crushed plum, steeped boysenberry and blackberry fruit. A hefty dose of melted licorice hangs on the finish.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jun 2013)
