James Halliday – Fermented wild in seasoned French oak. Cracked wheat and sweet spice characters run rampant through this well-flavoured rosé. You get more than your money's worth here. Strawberry and woodsy spice notes are all go go go, but it remains dry. A very good release. - Campbell Mattinson

James Halliday – There's both grip and body to this flavoursome rosé. Tangerine, redcurrant, earth and sweet spice notes burst through the palate, bringing whispers of cedar along for the ride. It's fun to drink, sure, but it's more than that; there's substance to this. - Campbell Mattinson

James Halliday – The 22nd release of this particular grenache/shiraz/mourvèdre blend (this year 45/30/25%); from vines up to 90-plus years of age across Trial Hill, Light Pass, Nuriootpa, Seppeltsfield and Vine Vale. And it's a good 'un! Bright, perfumed and detailed with super-pure plummy fruit, layers of spice, earth, florals, gingerbread and roasting meat goodness. Driven by a vivid line of lacy acidity and framed with powdery tannin, it seems like it is a good place and will provide great drinking over the medium term. - Dave Brookes Published 06 July 2023

Wine Enthusiast – This blend is very reductive to start, and it's hard to get past the sweaty cabbage notes. It does open somewhat with time, offering a sweet and sour note, along with ripe plum, blueberry, chocolate and white pepper, backed by vanillin oak. The palate is rich and a bit flat, wanting for more freshness. There's a grip of nicely textured, spicy tannins, but overall there's a lot of winemaking here without a lot of reward.

James Halliday – "52/28/20% grenache/shiraz/mourvédre from Matananga, Moppa Hill and Greenock in the western Barossa. All varieties 100% destemmed and whole-berry fermented; aged for 14 months in old French oak. Bright, spicy and plummy, there are red fruits and cranberry notes that add lift and perfume, fine feathery tannins and the wine displays a vivid acid pulse." - Dave Brookes, The Wine Companion

James Halliday – Crimson with fruit notes of dark cherry, red plum and mulberry with hints of exotic spice, earth, purple flowers, licorice, cola and sarsaparilla. No shortage of ripe juicy plum and cherry fruit on the palate, which sails off showing fine tannin, spiced red and dark fruits and just a slight tweak of heat at the exit. - Dave Brookes

James Halliday – Halliday Wine Companion 2019: Matured for 10 months in used French oak. Normally this goes into the GSM, in exceptional years made as a single varietal. This is high quality mourvedre, with luscious purple and black fruits with a markedly juicy palate and aftertaste. Drink to 2031
