What The Reviewers Are Saying

Rob Geddes (Master of Wine) GOLD

“The very appealing ruby colour indicates a medium bodied wine. Lovely perfume to match the colour. Fragrant red berry into mulberry shiraz aromas initially with a hint of night jasmine perfume amidst the intense savoury white pepper spice. Medium bodied, silky refined tannin texture, excellent balance from gentle winemaking allows the lively peppery flavours to linger, becoming the taster's focus on the finish. It's from a cooler vintage revealing more of the spicy notes and elegant charm of the Canberra region. A very consistent style.”

Winelines (Gilbert Labour) GOLD

“This young Shiraz Viognier opens up with an complex melange of white pepper, ripe mulberry, a hint of tobacco and brown mushrooms both on the nose and front palate. The 3% Viognier component contributes an ethereal floral lift and intrigue. This silky and satisfying wine is seductively sleek albeit with a steely mid-palate grip. Whilst offering palate pleasure now, it'll reward a 3 to 5 year cellar sleep for further integration. It is well crafted, generously priced and well deserving of any medals undoubtedly heading its way.”
