There is great tension and freshness in this subtle, structured and at first restrained wine. Medium-bodied with vivid acidity, minerals, white peaches and crisp pears. It doesn't go through malolactic and uses no more than 10% new oak for barrel fermentation, helping to retain balance, linearity and length. More in the mold of a Chablis than a Meursault. Drink now or hold.

Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

Wow, a beauty of a Bordeaux-style blend that is seamless in texture, layered and nuanced in flavor. It contains all five Bordeaux red grape varieties, but none of them dominates. Black cherries, blackberries, cocoa, spearmint and minerals with light, savory bay leaf accents, but so much pure fruit comes through. Drinkable now, but best from 2030.

The nose is aromatic, expressing notes of peaches, mandarin confit, green papayas and honeydew melon.

Blackcurrant and vegetal notes with evident oak. Subtly enticing flavors of bruised plum and damson. The fresh palate is rich and exuberant, with lively fruit and a hint of salinity. Drink 2024-2036.

This is a wine with personality and attitude. Not a 'pretty pretty' Pinot but shows the grape’s wildest face, with soy, spice and rosehips and a hint of ferrous bloodiness layered on top of wild strawberries. The tannins, though fine, are raspy, the acidity focused and taut. Drinking Window 2025 – 2042.

Although this is a bit closed on the nose, the wine opens up on the palate to reveal very pure and precise lemon and yuzu fruit, with complexing notes of stony minerality and orange blossom. Precise and linear, with a long, luminous finish. Potentially one of the best Chardonnays in Australia. Drinking Window 2026 – 2042.

The oak is still quite present on the nose but there’s plenty of fruit on the palate to absorb it over time. Brooding and dense palate of dark plums and blood orange but enlivened by some very pretty red cherry and raspberry fruit and a hint of lavender. The tannins are supple and fine but firm enough to lend structure. Poised and approachable in its youth but should age well. Drinking window 2024 – 2042.

Dense and taut mid-palate with fine tannins that grip gentle on the long finish. The palate blends blood plum and orange with something altogether more wild and earthy, although the finish is perfumed with notes of violets and rosehips. Great freshness.

There’s almost a waxy texture to the rounded, fleshy mid-palate. Layers of flavour and great concentration of yuzu, mandarin and pink grapefruit, along with subtle traces of ginger spice and salty. Minerality. Brisk acidity provides balance and helps extend the long finish. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040.

A slightly reductive, smoky note on the nose, and an incisive, focused palate with precise, taut acidity. The citrus fruit – yuzu, Meyer lemon – is subtly inflected with notes of ginger spice, and there’s a twist of salty minerality on the finish. Great ageing potential. Drinking Window 2025 – 2040.
