Reviews and Ratings

A wonderful example of Merlot produced in an “Old World” style. Aromas of tomato leaf, lush forest berry and silverbeet flood the senses, with a delicate cracked pepper intertwined with cigar essence. The palate adds further nuances of blood plum and liquorice. The silky tannins brought about by the use of old barrels enhance the complexity of this wine and couples beautifully with the firm body and lingering warm finish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
