James Halliday  
Wine Companion Magazine June /July 2014
2013 Riesling 
96 Points 
'A minerally precision, perfect balance, great length, and fine lime and green apple fruits with a core of acidity that will sustain it for a minimum of 20 years'

Huon Hooke - Sydney Morning Herald, Good Food - 
April 2014  Top Aussie White
2012 Young Vines Riesling
93 Points
'This is a delicate, restrained, baby of a Riesling, scented with shy floral and creamy lees notes, the palate firm and tightly knit, finishing clean and dry, with a lasting aftertaste' 

Max Allen - The Australian -  May 2013
2005 Reserve Riesling & 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon
"Thankfully a few wineries hold some stock back to develop more complex flavours"



Max Allen - The Australian - Dec 2013 
2011 Noble Dry 
"a wine that is both luscious to smell (you think it's going to taste sweet) and savoury on the tongue (it finishes with a lip-smacking minerally quality). "

Huon Hooke - Sydney Morning Herald, Good Food - 
November 2013 
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon 
95 Points
"Very elegant, stylish and complex cabernet, which wears its homage to Bordeaux on its sleeve. Cedar, leather, rose petal & earthy aromas of considerable complexity. Firm and tightly structured in the mouth, with ample tannins & lovely savoury flavours of depth and intrigue, the texture is superbly fleshy. Now to 2026 "
