"Splendidly ripe and instantly appealing, the wine shows black/blueberry, violet, toasted spice and cedar characters. The palate is equally satisfying, delivering excellent concentration and plush mouthfeel, wonderfully framed by velvety texture and polished tannins. Gorgeously flavoursome and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2033" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Oct 2023

"Deep, purple and brooding colour, roasted hazelnut on the nose, blackberry and dark chocolate with a hint of vanilla and a sprinkle of black pepper. Jammy and dense on the
palate with parma violet and stewed berry compote. Chocolatey and nutty on the finish, this complex, generous and polished Shiraz punches well above its price point" Sammy Wilkinson, The Wine Writer, Dec 2023

It was a season characterised by high temperatures offset by cooling sea breezes providing extended veraison - all signs of an excellent vintage. Weather conditions remained favourable over the lead up and the early weeks of harvest with warmer weather and minimal rainfall – ideal for veraison and grape development. Fresh mornings and mild evenings resulted in fruit high in natural acid, deep in colour and flavour well ahead of sugar ripeness. We think its a standout!
