Critics Ratings

'Depth, complexity and power combine in sensational 2016; Shiraz with Grenache, Mourvèdre and 1% Viognier - the last evident in peachy perfume and lingering finish. As 2015 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), weighty but still agile, commanding but balanced, muscular but not chunky, the all-new oak unobtrusive.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 5* (95 pts)

'Now on allocation because of its impressive success, both with critics and in the market place, this brilliant blend of Shiraz with Grenache, Mourvèdre and Viognier is ripe, intense and powerful, with sandalwood, blackberry and apricot skin notes, fine tannins, balancing acidity and considerable palate length. 2020-28.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
