Gold 95 Points – Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion 2022 "This has come together well, with cassis and currant coated in savoury flavours of pepper, char and wild herbs. It’s full bodied but not unwieldly, as the tannins are fine, long and ripe. Incredibly fresh."

91/9% cabernet sauvignon/malbec, aged 18 months in 23% new French oak barriques, then blended and matured 6 months in foudre.

90 Points – Huon Hooke "The bouquet releases spicy and toasty oak first-up, the palate very soft and supple, savoury, oaky tannins on the finish."

100% Estate grown fruit farmed biologically. 30-year-old vines, clones MV6, Pommard and 777 all hand harvested. 20% whole bunches, 80% whole berries optically sorted, wild fermented in French oak Foudre. 20 days on skins, including 5 days cold soak and 7 days extended maceration. Pressed to tank to initiate MLF, then racked to barrel. Nine months on lees (in barrel), with a further six months élevage in French oak foudre. French oak barriques and puncheons (46% new).

A dry cold winter gave way to a dry mild spring with much needed rainfall in December nurturing the vines through January and over the early heat. The season was characterised by intermittent heat spikes that kept everyone on their toes followed by cool changes. The remainder of the vintage was perfect ripening weather with no rain or disease pressure, it may not go down as the best vintage from the Yarra Valley, but the wine quality looks well above average.

92 Points – Aaron Brasher, The Real Review "Nutty aromas combine with stone fruit and a creaminess that delivers complexity. There’s some oak at play on the palate, offering up a creamy, nougat richness, which combines nicely with a pithy citrus and stone fruit depth of flavour."

94 Points – Andrew Graham, OzWineReview "Really nice wine this, I almost caught myself drinking it on a tasting day."

92 Points – Gary Walsh, Winefront "Medium-bodied, a bit spicy. Supple flow of juicy dark berry flavour with guiding graphite tannin… Nice wine here."

Fermented (100% wild) in large-format, oak fermenters, five days cold soak and gentle handling (pump overs only). 15 months élevage in French oak barriques (12% new), then a further six months in large-format foudré.

92 Points – Ralph Kyte-Powell "A deeply-coloured young cabernet blend with a succulent aroma of blackcurrant pastilles, briar and earth. It’s lush and seamless in the mouth, with berry and dark chocolatey flavour of good persistence, finishing with finely integrated tannins. A Yarra cabernet of generosity and elegant balance."

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (62%), Merlot (36%) and Malbec (2%). Fruit was destemmed, crushed and fermented separately. Five days cold soak and up to two weeks extended maceration. Matured in French oak barriques (23% new), receiving 18 months élevage in barrel before blending, then a further six months in large-format foudré.

92 Points – Huon Hooke "There's a lot of richness and volume here, the impact is high and the acidity and clean tannins carry the palate long and powerfully. It's very good and has a bright future."

This Shiraz was made with selected grapes from the renowned Heathcote region in Central Victoria. Hand-picked, destemmed and crushed and fermented in open top tanks with a mixture of wild and cultured yeasts. It has been matured in French oak barriques for 15 months of which 30% was new oak, then blended, lightly filtered and bottled.

The 2017 Shiraz is deep red in colour with blue tinges and displays rich aromas of dark fruits, blackberry, black currant, nutmeg and toasted clove spice on the nose. The palate exhibits intense fruit characters of blackberry and black currant with toasted clove spice and a long smooth tannin finish. It can be enjoyed now or cellared for ten to twenty years.
