Wine Reviews

Deanery Vineyard in Adelaide Hills is the host for this frisky gamay. It’s light, crunchy and vibrant in its nature. On tasting I thought ‘should put this in the fridge’ and so I did, and geez, did it up the ante of drinkability. All charm at regular red wine temp...

This is a dry, pebbly style with citrus juice and floral characters building as the wine breathes. It has cut, thrust and body, but it's the savoury, stony, 'of the earth' aspect that really beguiles. A grippyness to the texture is the icing on the cake. 95 points - Gold...

Grapefruit, lime and bath-salt flavours burst convincingly through the palate before gradually easing out through the finish. There's a gently herbal, tonic-like note too. Once again we're in terrific territory here. 95 points - Gold Campbell Mattinson. Published 2 August, 2023

This is a pure, textural riesling that's both true to its origins and variety but also has its own distinctive characters. Lemon and lime notes come crisp and clear before earth, stone and hay-like notes sweep in. It has both interest and pure pleasure covered.  95 points - Gold  Campbell...

A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, grenache, malbec, carignan and sciacarello. It pulls all the right levers in all the right ways.

Citrus and grapefruit pulp flavours meet tonic water and brine. It's textural, flavoursome and charismatic, but mostly it's just a beautiful wine to drink. A gentle grip on the finish works well, too.  94 points - Silver Campbell Mattinson. Published 2 August, 2023

The sum of its parts is greater than its weight. It's not big wine in any sense but there are myriad elements in play and the general effect is transfixing. Bacon, cherries, woodsy spices, decaying roses and a red licorice note. Tannin attempts to be earthen and dry but the...

  Made from 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Malbec, 6% Sangiovese and 4% Grenache, this beauty spends 12 months in French demi-muids before being racked to steel for four months. It is another example of precision blending, and this time there is more amplitude of flavour, richness and decadence. Yet, it...

  A blend of vineyards in Clare Valley blending cabernet sauvignon, malbec, sangiovese and grenache. Clever. Their own ‘classico’. The new label reversed the colours on this one, more black on black with white font, and it looks sexy as. Gorgeous wine. Supple, succulent, lush with dark fruit character, new...
