97 Points & Platinum Decanter World Wine Awards 2026
Immaculately defined dark red berries, hibiscus and rose petals shrouded in vanilla and clove oak. Broad-shouldered with finely-hewn tannins, bright acidity and a wild thyme abundance that parades towards the long, charismatic finish. Stand out.
95+ Points Halliday Wine Companion Apri 2026:
An elegant and seductive set of aromas, including pure doris plum, wild strawberry and dark cherry fruits veiled in souk-like spice…This is silty fine, with a bright mineral cadence and sense of clarity and grace as it trails off. Cracker!
94 Points International Wine Challenge 2026:
Medium colour, intensity, elegant and rich dark fruit and toasty notes. Youthful with great potential.

93 Points & Excellent, Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier, April 2026:
Aromas and flavours of ripe cherry and blackcurrant fruit, there’s a fine savoury spice adding complexity and depth.
96 Points Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, August 2025:
Complex and seductively styled, showing dark berry, tapenade, cured meat, dried mushroom, and elegant oak characters on the nose, leading to a concentrated palate offering excellent depth and expansive mouthfeel.
94 Points Steven Wong MW, The Real Review April 2026:
There is good breadth to the underlying flavours, revealing hints of white pepper and violets which sit in a higher register than the core of wild raspberry and strawberry fruit. Well-balanced with smooth tannins and fine acidity providing tension.
97 Points and Platinum, Decanter World Wine Awards June 2026:
Immaculately defined dark red berries, hibiscus and rose petals shrouded in vanilla and clove oak. Broad-shouldered with finely-hewn tannins, bright acidity and a wild thyme abundance that parades towards the long, charismatic finish. Stand out.
95 Points and Gold Medal, International Wine & Spirit Competition, June 2026:
Smoky, stony aromatics open into vibrant black cherry, red berry and plum, layered with subtle oak, vanilla, nutmeg, and cocoa. The elegantly supple palate carries dark fruit concentration with flinty mineral undertones, while tangy saline acidity sustains a refined finish.
