2005

95/100 points from James Halliday in his Top 100 for 2005; 92/100 points from Huon Hooke in Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine (Dec. 2005)

Notes from O'Leary Walker: "The 2005 vintage has produced a wine typical of the Polish Valley with intense grapefruit, slate and citrus peel characters. The perfume is alluring with powerful slate and mineral, hints of grapefruit and subtle bath powder. The palate shows fine lime, slate and chalk, with a lingering mineral puckering on the tongue".

2002

gold medal and trophy winner Royal Sydney Wine Show 2003; 95/100 from James Halliday; highly recommended by Max Allen in Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine Magazine (Feb. 2003); 5/5 stars from the Penguin Good Australian Wine Guide 2003-2004. Stelvin-sealed. Unfortunately, only 500 cases were made…

Winemaker’s notes: "Intensely flavoured with elements of honey blossom, lime and mineral character combining to give the wine a long, fine and seamless palate. A wine that is eminently drinkable now but will be enjoyable for many years to come".
