Critics Ratings

'So much to love about 2017. Classic New World shiraz flavours of black fruit, smoked meats, coriander & cloves with smoky oak (60% new, 5% American). Supple & silky tannins & fresh acidity keep interest going right through to lengthy finish. Returns to stellar form of 2015 (98 pts) after out-there 2016 (4.5 stars, 93 pts).' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 5* (95/100)

'Sourced from slate soils at high altitude, this goes through a saignée, bleeding off some of the juice for a rosé, to concentrate what's left behind. Serious, focused and stylishly oaked, with notes of mocha and blackberry and a sturdy backbone of tannin. 2021-27' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 91/100
