Critic reviews
James Halliday – Maturana Tinta is a rare, near-extinct grape from Rioja. Grown on ironstone soils in Macclesfield, wild-fermented in open-top vessels and matured in older French and Hungarian oak for 9 months. Pulpy. Juicy. Savoury. Whole-berry pastille, sarsaparilla and rosewater, too. Yet this wine's totem is the swathe of herb-soused tannins: gentle, peppery and amaro-like. This is a wine to drink in its youth. A paean to everything good about Europe's more savoury expressions, while celebrating the diversity here. A good drink. 1 September 2020
James Suckling – A rare grape in the Adelaide Hills, producing a rich, ripe and vibrant red with attractive aromas of spice, earth and bracken, leading to a bold but drinkable palate that is packed with ripe dark-berry and plum flavors. The tannins are carved in thick, soft slices. Drink over the next five years. 2 July 2020

This wine colour is an incredible velvety magenta purple and shows lifted perfumes of red berries and pepper on the nose. The palate is savoury and textured, framed with balanced natural acidity and tannins, filled with raspberries, violets and spice

Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills is one of the largest geographical wine regions in Australia, and amongst the most diverse in terms of climate, soil and topography. Because of this, many different varietals are planted here with the most dominant being Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. It is generally thought of as a cooler region, especially when compared to neighbouring Barossa to the north and Mclaren vale and Langhorne Creek to the south.
NZ Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been popular in Australia for a while now, but Adelaide hills Sauvignon Blanc (the most planted grape in the region) could be considered the Aussie Savvy Blanc. From www.adelaidehillswine.com.au about their Sauvignon Blanc: “Wines that are textured, edgy, vibrant and dry with exceptional fruit definition, length and crispness that marry superbly with summer seafood.”
You can also find some cool climate shiraz from the Adelaide hills, defying the more common big bold style that is usually seen in Australian Shiraz.
