Critics Ratings
'Arguably this makes Kershaw's Chardonnay chez Naked look like a steal. Beautifully judged, vibrant cool-climate Syrah - a fascinating comparison with that from the other MW, Sam Harrop, in the warmer climate of Waiheke, NZ. I love this! Ripe but not fat. Very clean finish. So appetising and truly varietal. Geographical too, doubtless. Long.' - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 17//20 (Oct 2018)
'Allspice & white pepper nuances to focused, iodine-tinged dark berry fruit of seamless 2014, the epitome of balance & refinement. Exhilarating 2013 was quieter in youth than 2012 (4.5 stars, 92 pts) debut, but savoury/umami notes & tempered tannins are consistent hallmarks.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2019, 5*
