97+ Points – Philip Rich, Halliday Wine Companion 2027 A blend of 99/1% shiraz/viognier. Fermented with whole berries and matured in barriques (30% new). A medium-deep crimson purple. Concentrated with dark fruits, cedar and melted licorice. There's an earthiness, too. The palate is medium to full bodied, powerful and plush yet beautifully balanced. The tannins are subsumed by the fruit. Everything is in place for this beauty to become softer and more complex over the next 15–20 years.

Quite beautiful wine from this difficult vintage. I guess it shows what old vines can do when the going gets tough. It’s a co-fermented blend of Shiraz, Marsanne and Viognier, displaying texture. perfume and structural tannin. The additional spice comes from a tiny amount of Mataro. Medium weight and so beautifully balanced and poised as you would expect. Most appealing wine.
