Critic Scores & Awards

95 // Wine Orbit

"Wonderfully ripe and fragrant, the wine shows dark berry, violet, mixed spice and roasted hazelnut aromas, followed by a splendidly weighted palate offering succulent fruit flavours with fleshy texture and fine-grained tannins. It’s silky and generous with a lengthy velvety finish."

95 // The Vintage Journal

"The 2021 release was an absolute belter and winemaker [redacted] has levelled up with this 2022 GSM. A fabulous drink, the savoury appeal really stood out on this occasion. A 62/31/7 blend compared to the 56/39/5 of 2021, it’s great to see vintage variation at play with the subtle adjustments to the blend. The winter of 2021 was one of the wettest on record for those who love some vintage data. I tasted this not too long after bottling. It’s so new it is yet to be released at the time of writing. Its youth is evident but a little more bottle age will be of benefit. Blue fruits open the account with baking apices and some meatiness eager to introduce themselves. Layers of licorice, puffs of dirt road and a flicker of orange drive the savoury profile but the pretty aromas of purple flowers and spice cupboard keep my nose going back to the glass. Densely coloured and attractive to the eye, it speaks of the Moppa soils. A fabulous blend that will age comfortably over the medium term, lovers of a great GSM blend will find a happy home with this in their glass."

95 // Royal Melbourne Wine Show

"Gold Medal"

93 // James Halliday

"A purely fruited expression of 62% grenache, 31% shiraz and 7% mataro, matured for 10 months in seasoned French oak hogsheads. Magenta-edged crimson with some nice ginger spice coming ahead of the ripe plum, blueberry and boysenberry fruits. Spicy with citrus blossom top notes and a fine, toothsome layer of tannins at its base. It makes for great drinking indeed, with a velvety flow of spiced, plummy fruit."
