World Wine – Prickly pear, small green apples, preserved lemon and a nice sense of tang, it is 100% varietal in a very stylish, smooth mid-weight register. With juicy acidity and a nice little nutty snap to close, the fruit tannins are perfectly handled (so often the Achilles heel of this tricky variety). Unbelievably good value - you just shouldn't be able to get it so cheap!
World Wine – 100 Points - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit.
“Destined for a long life, this majestic offering shows cassis, dark plum, hint of tobacco, cedar and floral aromas on the nose. The palate is packed with rich fruit intensity combined with layers of silky texture and complex flavours, wonderfully supported by perfectly pitched chalky tannins, making it sturdy and structured with a seemingly endless finish. Flawless and spellbinding. At its best 2029 to 2049”
James Suckling – A medium-bodied red with firm tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Really intense and flavorful. Lovely balance and finesse. One of the best deals out there.
James Halliday – From Swallowfield, the southernmost vineyard in the Yarra Valley. Hand-picked, wild-fermented with 60% whole bunches, pressed to French oak (25% new) for 10 months. Light, clear colour; has a perfumed bouquet. A supremely elegant and expressive wine that flows joyously along the palate and into the long aftertaste.
Wine Spectator – Juicy notes of ripe black cherry and spiced plum are thick and velvety, oozing with details of baking spices, tobacco and Earl Grey tea on the finish. Concentrated and complex. The thick tannins add some charm. Drink now through 2030.
The Wine Front – A relatively big producer but one with a very high reputation amongst the European Austrian wine cognoscenti. This wine comes from various sites on various terraced vineyards in Kamptal. This has some get up and go. It’s racy for gruner, even though there’s still some of the slipperiness expected from the variety. Smells of alpine herbs, slate, green apple, mixed citrus peel. The palate slides around with honey-drizzled green apple and finishes with a mineral water-like mineral burst of acidity. Really pleasing drinking here. Yeah.
World Wine – Made with Gewürztraminer, Riesling& Pinot Gris – this is an exemplary wine and master class in cofermentation, style and balance. Aromas and flavours of exotic tropical fruits, fresh citrus and apple, white
flowers and spice. Equally intense and fruity on the palate with myriad flavours of fresh white fleshed
fruits, citrus and tropical. Refreshing acid line carries flavours and a firm youthful mouthfeelthrough to a
lengthy finish. Best drinking from purchase and through 2025. 96 points. Cameron Douglas MS,

Wine Spectator – Steely, with lemon pith, gooseberry and fleur de sel notes streaking over a flinty spine. An echo of lemon curd in the background adds nice contrast.
World Wine – "Rich, concentrated pinot noir with ripe plum, black cherry, liquorice, spice, anise and nutty oak flavours. A powerful wine that's a pleasure to taste now but has the potential to develop well in bottle. Drink 2018 to 2026.
