Critics Ratings
'Restrained & moderation triumph over excess in impressive 10, our Red Wine of the Year. Understated elegance, faultless composition & balance, mystifying complexity from back-to-basics treatment of special vineyard blocks. An icon in the making.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*
'100% Syrah. Winemaker: Andrea Mullineux, age 33. A tantalising wine on the nose - not giving much away but suggesting a good deal. Light notes of dark fruit and liquorice. Then on the palate, that coal-like dark texture that I associate with vines on granite, giving a dry finesse and fresh length. So refined - tannins are fine but slide over the palate. All so restrained and elegant. Definitely northern Rhône in style. GV.' - Julia Harding MW17+/20, JancisRobinson.com (2013)
