Critics Ratings

'Fresh and precise fruit but good ripeness. Fresh and grainy. Super clean.' - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Jan 2015)

'Is it the clay soils that are responsible for the consistent quality of this excellent Merlot? They certainly seem to contribute to its plush texture, but the winemaking is exemplary too: smooth flavours, svelte oak and complex flavours of mint, green herbs and graphite.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2015, 93/100
