Critics Ratings
“Two clones and two soil types supply the grapes for this deeply coloured, scented Syrah, which confirms Richard Kershaw’s growing affinity with the grape. Savoury, compact and focused, this is la mini-Cornas in terms of structure and impact. 2018-25” - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2017, 93/100
