Critics Ratings
'A triumph from 36-year-old estate vines, the 2015's lengthier natural fermentation intensifies the complex rounded flavours of orchard fruit, vanilla cream & lifted citrus. Mostly older oak.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 5*
'Dense and textural, this wine treads a fine line with fruit richness, sweet oak and bruleed length without ever being vulgar, over blown or excessive. This beautiful 2015 picked earlier in a drought year, retains sufficient acidity and displays fantastic balance and intensity. The wine tightens up impressively on the finish and displays more overt minerality with spicy ginger and lemon herb complexity. Drink now to 2028+' - Greg Sherwood MW 2017, 93+ Points
