"From low-yielding and dry-grown vines in Clare Valley. Intensely rich and dark fruited. Whoa. This has some get-up-and-go. Choc-cherry, touches of mocha, a whiff and lick of Aussie bush in there, a dash of mint, some pepper, sprinkles of sweet cinnamon and smoky clove. There's an uplifting feel to the wine despite the wonderful generosity of flavour, the bubbles coursing with energy and tightness, another balancing act in the wine. It nails down the style, delivers something outstanding and vividly delicious."

"Bright and fresh, clean and lively. A pure-feeling chardonnay with gentle influence of nougat and cinnamon oak characters amongst red apple, green mango, lemon curd and nashi pear fruit characters. Right on. Shy of medium weight, a little crispness and yet pleasing haziness to texture, the finish a twist of pink grapefruit freshness. Great drink."

“The 2024 Chardonnay Piccadilly Valley ripples with spiced pear and grapefruit aromas, lifted by significant oak laced with gunflint reduction. Excellent underlying tension, thanks to finely balanced, mouth-watering acidity, drives a strong and youthful finish. A keeper that will offer plenty in the years to come.”
Angus Hughson (Vinous)
"A restrained wine with aromas of grilled lemons, flint, grapefruit, crushed stones and gun smoke. The palate is precise and pure, with a mid-weighted mouthfeel and fine acidity. There’s nice balance of fruit density and minerals, finishing with a saline edge and high tension. Delicious."

“A highly perfumed, snappy, sappy, bright and red-fruited pinot noir of satiny texture and general sense of freshness and a kind of glassy transparency. Bright, sweet-leaning red of cherry juice with pomegranate crunch shot through, some light kirsch notes, raspberry licorice and dashes of red capsicum, hazelnut and mushroom tea. Very fruit forward, tightened with tangy, orangey acidity, a faint sheath of tannin nicely there. A wine that suggests vigorous youth is its best friend, over general cellaring. Good."
Mike Bennie (Halliday Wine Companion)
"Bright and perfumed, with aromas of red fruit, citrus peel, blood oranges, pomegranates, dried mushrooms and wet earth. The palate is focused and precise, with a generous texture, refined tannins and fine acidity leading to a complex yet approachable finish full of pinot charm. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
