“Dark purple and ruby appearance with a pink rim leads to a bouquet of ripeness, concentration and power. On the nose, the wine bursts with aromas of fresh crushed blackcurrant, rosemary flower and violet, layered with smoky clove and new leather. The palate is opulent and velvety in texture, with concentration, ripeness and power. Plum, dark cherry and cocoa beans are vibrant and lingering. This wine is both intense and delicate. A lovely reflection of the 2021 season.
These Syrah grapes were hand-picked in March 2021, on a cool morning, and immediately taken across the road to our winery. The ferment was 100% whole berries, which helps to enhance the floral and bright fruit characters in the wine. At pressing, only the free run wine was retained to ensure delicacy, and run to French oak puncheons and barriques. In 20% new oak, it aged for 21 months before assemblage and bottling.”
Rated Outstanding & 95/100 Cameron Douglas MS, June 2025 (2021 Vintage)
“Dark purples and ruby appearance with a pink rim lead to a bouquet of ripeness, concentration and power. Aromas of freshly crushed red berries and blackcurrant, layers of wood spice and wood smoke, clove and new leather. A bouquet that is also peppered with violets and stone dust mineral complexity. Firm, dry, taut and concentrated on the palate, some sweetness from oak and abv resting within core fruit flavours that mirror the bouquet. Delicious, lengthy and ageing well with best drinking from late 20206 through 2031+.”
93/100 Stephen Wong MW, The Real Review, May 2025 (2021 Vintage)
“Sweet fruit and oak unfurl in layers on the nose with vanilla, cinnamon, sweet plum and blackberry. the flavours are youthful and trimmed in ripe, smooth tannins, giving an impression of tight restraint. Gently ripe and sleek, the detailed finish suggests that it will unfold nicely in the near-term with balanced complexity. Not a big or particularly powerful wine but finely tuned and elegant.”

“A deep ruby in the glass this wine has a layered and complex nose of blue and red fruits, oak spice and a dash of sulphide. The palate is fresh and fruit forward with silky tannins and plenty of energy. A lovely peppery finish. “
