Will Lyons, The Times, May 2025, Six of the best bottles of wine from Australia’s most underrated region: “A delicate, peppery syrah in the classic Rhône style with notes of cherry and a spicy, meaty finish.”Wine Merchant Top 100, 2024: "The flavours are cassis, but savoury. A really delightful style; like a berry bath at an excellent temperature."
