Gold Medal – Royal Perth Wine Show 2022
Winery notes (2020 Vintage)
"Anyone who’s eaten 95% cocao chocolate thinks they know dark. But we can go darker. Into a shadow-cloaked world of liquorice, juniper, cloves and incense. Did you hear voices? The siren calls of fruit behind a curtain? Suddenly, the aromas of this northern Barossa shiraz become flavours, flowing from nose to tongue without skipping a beat. Tannins clinging on for the ride, smoke spiriting you away."

5 Stars & Top 5 Cuisine Australian Shiraz Tasting 2022 (2018 Vintage)
"Immediately on the nose are aromas of red berry compote, blackcurrant and spice all of which segue through to the palate to mingle with licorice and mulberry characters. Both coconut and vanilla are present from the toasty oak providing lovely aromatics and palate structure. This is a delicious and complex shiraz with dark brambled fruits against smoke and spice with long firm tannins."
92/100 Mike Bennie, The Wine Front, October 2020 (2018 Vintage)
"Opens with such a nostalgic aroma here; my early learnings of red wine from Australia rush at me in a posie of choc-coconut, sweet biscuit, dark-ripe berries and a dried fruit richness. Perfect in its way. So soft and slurpy in the palate, as relaxed as a rich wine can get in texture, a trill of rough-gummy tannin bossing that fruit around ever so gently. Warming, generous, but with drinkability on its side, and charming too."
