“Notes of chocolate, prunes and leather make way for a ripe core. Savoury oak flavours take the lead and it pulls up quickly. Tannins on the finish curtail the ripe core. 86 Points”
Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review, December 2023 [2022 Vintage].
“A very good iteration of a Veneto thirst-slaker. Succulent red cherry, pine resin and alpine amaro notes, melded with Aussie ripeness. Yet this is barely mid-weighted, despite being impeccably ripe and gloriously fresh. A thoroughly impressive release. Drink or hold. 92 Points”

“I know very little about this variety, other than that it hails from north-east Italy. It’s late ripening, and is a relative of shiraz, apparently. It’s fragrant and fruity, garden herbs and cherry-plum, the nose effusively scented, the palate then lighter than expected, mouthwatering almost, showing both boysenberries and raisins, dust and herbs. This wine is interesting, and refreshing, if not compelling.88 Points”
