Critics Ratings

'Cabernet Sauvignon up to 45% in supple 2012, Shiraz (38%) falling back further, but important for early sweet, fruity charm (spicier with age). Already shows complexity and is both elegant and generous - light-feeling despite ripeness (13.5% alcohol). Great dry finish. Needs time.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92/100)

'Formerly labelled as Grand Vin, this is the second tier red from Glenelly, made with a Bordeaux-meets-the-Rhône combination of Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Elegant, refined and focused, with graphite and cedarwood notes and a core of succulent black fruits. 2018-28.' - Tim Atkin SA Special Report 2017, 94/100
