Silver 4 star ribbon Bob Campbell MW The Real Review

“Fragrant, aromatic red with blackberry, blackcurrant, fresh herbs, vanilla and spicy oak flavours. Bright, vibrant wine from a favourable vintage. It can be appreciated now but will respond well to bottle age” 04 Aug 2023 Bob Campbell

Michael Cooper MA ONZM 4 1/2 star rating

“Built to last, the 2021 vintage (****1/2) is a distinctive, energetic, savoury red. Full-coloured, it is mouthfilling, with blackcurrant, plum and spice flavours, vibrant, deep and firmly structured. Showing good complexity, it’s well worth cellaring to 2027+” 8 Nov 2024 Michael Cooper

Description

Description

This is a new blend from the vintage of 2021 which was a typical Gladstone late summer/Autumn of hot, dry days which enabled the grapes to ripen beautifully. Fruity and generously flavoured, displaying fragrant aromas of red/dark plum, game, and dried herbs. The palate is rounded and smooth with nicely pitched supple tannins providing a pleasant dry finish.
