Reviews and Ratings

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 94/100 with the following review:

I fell in love with this wine at first sniff...then the palate enchants with flavours of pink grapefruit and gooseberries. Mouth-watering acidity and a long, dewy finish with fruity echoes. Incredible value, another winner from Australia.
Andrew Bernardo rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Terrific wine, displaying an eclectic mix of aromas and flavours, including citrus zest, key lime, golden kiwi, and freshly snipped green beans. A perfect example of what tactful winemakers can do with the grape in Australia. 91 Points. (ottawawinejournal.com)
Pale straw-green; the highly aromatic bouquet has lots of snow pea and a flick of citrus, and the palate does not disappoint, the flavours precise, intense and long, adding a touch of grapefruit pith. Score: 94 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, July 17, 2012

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.
