Critics Ratings

‘Name change from ‘Shiraz’ coincides with improvement by 2012 on 2011 with clarity of (black) fruit expression. Seductive, ripe, with grip, concentration, refinement & class. French oak (25% new) provides polished support. Harmonious throughout.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide, 4.5*

‘If you like the sort of Shirazes that are produced in Australia’s Barossa Valley, then you will appreciate this plush, ripe, well upholstered red. It’s a concentrated style from a warm site, with flavours of mocha oak and blackberry jam, underpinned by some acidity. Drink 2015-19.’ – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 92/100

‘Gorgeous, with a range of red currant, black cherry, dark plum and raspberry fruit, finely stitched with anise, black tea and singed iron notes. The long finish lets an echo of charcoal weave in and out while the fruit stays on-point. Rock-solid.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (May 2015)
