Critic reviews
Critic reviews
James Halliday – Native ferment, with 16 days on skins; maturation in a 2300L oak vat. This with a certain succulence allied with tension, a play of sour cherry spiced with caraway, tart raspberry confiture, red plum, haunting warm spices, orange-fruity coffee grounds, umeboshi, dried mint and bitter chocolate, and all feeling of fruit, of place, the winemaking subservient. The fruit swoops in on the palate, expansive but serene, with ripples of texture, tannins extracted masterfully, caressing, savoury but not drying, quietly commanding. Brilliant. – Marcus Ellis, Wine Companion Aug 2024
James Suckling – A historic site of old vines and meager, low-yielding soils. The wines are perfumed and immaculate, with no lack of structural components. They have the capacity to age, but most of all a winning toothsomeness demanding a revisit to the glass. Notes of rosewater, yet nothing candied. Red and Bing cherries, tangerines, lilacs and dried lavender. It grows in juiciness and sap across a brilliant finish. – Ned Goodwin, JamesSuckling.com MW March 2024

A single block Shiraz from 49 year old vines grown on ancient, dark grey slaty siltstone soils flecked with ironstone facing south-east at an altitude of 108m. The DC Block is named for Don Cant, the previous owner, and was the first single block wine released from the vineyard.
Hand harvested on the 6th of March. Gently crushed and pumped to one of two large old oak fermenters acquired from a dear friend. Gently pressed after spontaneous fermentation and 14 days on skins. Settled in tank for 12 days before transfer to a 9 year old 2300L French oak vat and two new puncheons for malolactic fermentation. Racked once and bottled, unfined, on the 28th of October 2022.
Flavour Profile: Brine and darkness like a night on the docks, red currant, Satsuma plum, bone broth, charcuterie, tapenade and Russian caravan tea leaves sipped from a China cup whilst relaxing in an old chesterfield.
Structure & Texture: Power and punch, ready to go a few rounds and buzzing at a different frequency to its siblings. Pomegranate, cranberry and boysenberry freshness support sandalwood and pie crust. Acoiled, deep well of fruit bound by savoury textural tannins that build in ever more powerful waves. The ultimate contradiction of lightness and weight, elegance and power - the goal. -Stephen Pannell
