Expert Reviews:

James Halliday -96 Points. Bush vines bent into the high sands of Blewiit Springs by the weariness of time. Minuscule yields, resulting in a single 300L barrel of liquid. 100% whole bunches, foot trodden daily and pressed to one prized barrel. A wine that is now firmly entrenched in the pantheon of the country's finest. A limpid light ruby. Transparent. Firecracker aromas of sour cherry, cranberry, white pepper, raspberry, clove and tamarind. The tannins, a scaly carapace that directs, tones and services a savoury, chiselled frisk to the work at hand. Brilliant Ned Goodwin MW. James Halliday Wine Companion 2022, 13 August, 2021
