“The coolest, wettest and most humid site in the Adelaide Hills lends itself well to blanc de noirs production in the coolest and wettest vintage in recent history. The result is spicy and fleshy, with red cherry, strawberry and fig fruit becoming softly toasty, thanks to fermentation and age in old barriques, followed by 3 years on yeast lees. A long and even close is neatly finished with a light dosage of 6g/l.”

“Very pale salmon or taché colour. Smoky, complex bouquet, with some aldehydes and traces of oak. Soft and dry yet rich on the palate. Fine, refreshing, clean and firm. Lovely balance and superb mouthfeel. An excellent wine. (100% made in old hogsheads. No malolactic fermentation. 24 months on lees.)”

“With a very pale salmon colour, this has a complex smoky bouquet with traces of oak and aldehyde. The palate is rich yet dry and refreshingly clean with a pleasingly firm aftertaste. Made 100 per cent in barrel, which contributes to its superb mouthfeel.”

“Lovely salty nose with a light palate, and dry, very savoury fruit on the finish. Fairly simple flavour profile but very gluggable.”

“Medium-light red-purple, good youthful hue if a touch pale; unusual metallic overtones, rusty nails, even a hint of lemon juice, the palate light to medium weighted and intense, bright and fresh, lively and clean, no obvious whole-bunch notes. Lively, refreshing and high-energy finish. Fine tannins in excellent balance."

“A significant step up from its less expensive sibling. Fine aromas of grated parmesan, toasted hazelnuts and truffle. Reticent. Shins and elbows. A barrel cull, following an ambient fermentation and raising in new, one and two-year-old barrels. Little obvious fruit aromas, although fruit sweetness. Plenty of peat. Time will work magic here, such is the structural lattice of oak, mineral and the long-limbed cadence. Intriguing stuff.”

"Complex and evocative aromas of grapefruit pith, struck match, white flowers, mineral, wet stone and green melon. Focused, pure and precise on the palate. Really crunchy, the pin-point acidity works very nicely with the citrus, just-ripe stone fruit and melon flavours. Quite full and powerful and there’s decent grip on the finish as well."

“The denser pinot of the suite, yet fleet of foot and deft of touch, with well-judged cinnamon oak enveloping rhubarb, damson plum, compote, cola and bergamot. The tannins are lithe and more svelte than those of its compadres yet tactile and nicely pliant, shapeshifting across a mid-weighted palate. The finish, long and effusive. This should age nicely across the mid-term. The growing trajectory of flavour is irrefutable, if not a bit light on.”

"Medium full depth of red-purple colour; fresh herb aromas overlying red fruits and hints of Campari and root vegetable, some anise and fragrant spices. The palate is elegant, tense and fine, with a long, long carry. Not a big pinot but intense and driving and full of energy. Lovely balance, a seamless, effortless wine."
