Critics Ratings

'Shiraz/Mourvèdre with dabs Touriga, Trincadeira and Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 has smoky dark fruit, black pepper; herbal notes give a piquant lift. Fresh and lively but can age.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2012, 4.5*

'This pumps along, with blueberry, loganberry and plum notes, while hints of loam, anise and brown bread fill in the background. Lush yet defined through the finish, presenting a lovely echo of iron. Syrah, Mourvèdre, Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira and Cabernet Sauvignon.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Apr 2014)
