Critics Ratings

'Juicy and vibrant expression, showing the whole bunch flavours in a spicy, pure, bright and chewy way. Impressively sprightly after 6 years, the Whole Bunch is no longer being produced, and makes for a great addition to the collection. ' - Higgo Jacobs (Feb 2022)

'Fruit selection from Cuvée Cinéma vineyard, 100% whole bunch, barrel ferment. 2016's 50% new oak adds intense spiciness, succulent sappy character to the palate, nicely offset by bright wild berry notes. Only 630 bottles.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (93/100)

'A wine that does what it says on the label, this is the first release of this Pinot from the same vineyard as Cuvée Cinéma, fermented with 100% whole bunches. Dense, smoky and quite grippy, it's something of a geek's wine, with lapsang souchong notes and savoury tannins. 2019-24.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100
