“Plenty of smart, street cred here, worked to what we expect and want to see from Adelaide Hills sauvignon blanc. Exuberant varietal intensity on aroma and taste with lasting herbal, nettle, green apple and citrus running free. Rapier-like acidity certainly makes its presence felt, finishing brisk and dry.”

• The Real Review, Huon Hooke – 90 Points

“Pale, almost water-clear colour. Fragrant aromas of lemon and herbs and hints of other citrus fruits, the palate tight and tense, very dry and savoury, with crisp acidity and a distinctly chalky mouth-feel. I’d give it a few more months to settle and it will be even better.”  Huon Hooke

• Winemaker Challenge International Wine Competition (USA) 2020 – Gold Medal, 91 Points
• San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge 2020 – Gold Medal, 90 Points”This is sophisticated sauvignon blanc, defying what is largely an oxymoronic concept in this country. More akin to a textural, herbal light to mid-weighted expression from the Graves. Thankfully, too, eschewing the usual bane of sweet/sour tropical fruit references in the name of an effortless flow of greengage, nettle, evergreen and strewn herb.”   Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion
