Sam Kim - Wine Orbit

Elegant, stylish and complex, the wine shows white flesh stone fruit, lemon peel, nougat and roasted cashew characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate displaying fine texture and focused mouthfeel. Brilliantly structured by bright acidity, finishing impressively long and engaging.

Jane Faulkner - Halliday Wine Companion

Fruit off two sites in Wallcliffe and Karridale, hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed, wild fermentation but no malo, in French oak, 50% new, and on lees 7 months. The sweet oak is apparent and needs to calm down to allow the fruit to come to the fore. Hint of peach, pink grapefruit, lots of spicy nuances and flavoursome, with a palate that's not mean but certainly lean from the shot of acidity. Appealing though.

Aaron Brasher - The Real Review

Youthful in the glass. Leesy, nutty aromas along with white peach, green melon and cut straw. The palate is fine, textured and layered, flint, citrus pith, and a wheaty savouriness. There's a high level of citrusy acidity bringing cut, line and length
