| Description: | 91 pts Wine Enthusiast "Best Buy' July 2024 A bouncy, aromatic bottling of spiced plum and florals. The palate is lightweight with a tug of raspy tannins and plenty of succulent, satiny plummy fruit. A fridge stocker to knock back solo and slightly chilled or at room temp with a week-night meal. 90 points James Halliday April 2023 All Riverland fruit, with a heritage property supplying the shiraz. A dollop of old-vine zibibbo and a smidgeon of fiano were co-fermented, serving lift and perfume. This has some throaty warmth to it, yet the extraction regime was clearly whole-berry gentle, so easy is this to drink. Mindless, in the very best way. It avoids the bane of excessive reduction, ploughing cinnamon stick, clove, cardamon, bergamot and bing cherry lines across a drift of gentle tannic grip. Chilling this is imperative. |
