Critics Ratings
'A selection of the farm's sites, each contributing to the final blend. Remarkable 5-star track record, last was 2015 (5 stars, 95 pts). 2016 minisculely less fine; red berries and graphite with forest floor nuances, perfect fruit/oak balance. Sleekly powerful, admirable poise, assurance.' -Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (94/100)
'Made up of mostly Windansea, with 25% each of Seadragon and Mrs M, this "expresses all of the soils of the farm", according to Gordon Newton Johnson, and is a superb Pinot. Leafy, complex and spicy, with evident whole bunch flavours, fine tannins and a sweet finish. 2018-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100
