James Halliday – Top 100 Wines of the Year - "Beautiful Meadowbank, on Tasmania’s upper Derwent River, is primarily a grape grower with 52ha of vines – enough for only 800 dozen directed to wines contract-made by Peter Dredge. It’s such a ravishing wine, as rich and deep as it is pure and fine. Redefines citrus." - James Halliday (The Weekend Australian)

The Wine Front – "It’s like crunching straight into a Granny Smith apple. There’s lime there too, whispered with fruit sweetness, and notes of hay, grapefruit, florals and herbs, though it’s the apple character that drives it. At least part of this wine spent time in oak and it’s slipped with texture as a result, though it’s a minor element; the wine still cuts on through, like the glimmer of a sunrise on water, and finishes long." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

James Halliday – "Purity and drinkability writ large from Peter Dredge and the team at Meadowbank Wines. Light straw in colour with pure aromas of Meyer lemon, lime and peach skin with notes of crushed stone, pressed white flowers, almond paste, dried mandarin rind and liminal hints of poached pear. It's a wonderfully textural wine, playing on the tension between fruit and acidity, sapid yet expressive, enchanting at the moment with a lot of promise in the cellar." - Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)

James Halliday – “Chardonnay from Meadowbank's south-facing Far Horse vineyard; five years on tirage. Made by Peter Dredge. Pale straw with a fine, energetic bead and aromas of grapefruit, green apple, lemon barley, crushed stone and white flowers plus marzipan and brioche notes. Nashi pear and some light, soft spice flow in on the palate, which shows fine, saline acidity and some nice tension and detail before fading off with gently spiced grapefruit and peach." - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 2024

The Wine Front – A nutty kind of thing, with a whiff of fino and almond, mead, aniseed and old melons. It’s spicy, all the salted toasted almonds and sizzled butter, has a certain juicy sour apple tang, fine chalk dust texture, and a whole lot of umami and porcini flavour. Yes, salty, but kind of vigorous with a honey nut and lime pickle intensity. The finish is, again, dusty and chalky, and slices hard on with apricot and salted caramel. It’s a quirky wine for sure, but gee, if you like honey nut cornflakes and pickles, you’ll be all over it. It’s a madhouse, and yet, there’s a certain beauty in its craziness. I like it.

The Wine Front – "Melon, citrus, a bit nutty and umami. Some honey gloss but lots of zip and flinty texture. Saline, light, but has a richness despite being kind of bony. Lemon zest maybe, and ginger biscuits. It’s a dynamic and individual wine, and really nice to drink." - Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)

James Halliday – Pale straw in the glass with aromas of white peach, nectarine and grapefruit with a nicely dialled-in struck match/sulphide nuance and hints of soft spice, oatmeal, white flowers, nougat, lemon curd and clotted cream. There is impressive detail, clarity and composition here with a long, wonderfully expressive pure flow across the palate on rails of mineral and stone, not a hair out of place, a picture of tension and release. Beautiful drinking.- Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
