"Sourced from sites across Hilltops and Canberra District. This has morphed into an excellent, composed and highly appealing drink; thankfully a Margherita pizza turned up while tasting this and, as a food pairing, worked a treat. This balances out the red cherries and pips, fresh herbs and pomegranate/cranberry tang to a savouriness, with warm spices. It's a touch ferrous, too. It comes across as just medium bodied, invigorating and enlivened by bright acidity and lithe, textural tannins." Jane Faulkner, The Wine Companion Dec 2025, 94 Points

"Bright medium-full red tinged with purple, the aromas sweetly raspberry-ish with stemmy whole-bunch overtones. the nose and palate display the same spicy lift, a really compelling fragrance. It's medium bodied at most and very, very approachable, with fine, soft tannins and a sweet fruit core. Utterly delicious light red wine." Huon Hooke, The Real Review Sept 2025 93 Points
