Expert Reviews

"The balance is superb, the finish clean and dry. "

95 Points

Bright, light to mid-yellow colour, with a generous dried herb bouquet, thyme and oregano; the palate also precise and refined, crisp and dry and yet well endowed with fruit. The palate is deep in lush fruit flavour, marvellously ample yet refined and tense at the same moment. The balance is superb, the finish clean and dry. A striking, impressive young riesling. Drink: 2019–2028

"A serious wine for an affordable price."

95 Points

Lovely and taut. Lemony. Will age. Good regional clarity. I enjoy the subtle nature of the aromatics, as well as the purity and restraint. Bone-dry. A serious wine for an affordable price. Drink 2019–2032

Winery Tasting Notes

Colour

Rich straw colour.

Aroma

Lemon, florals with musk and a hint of honey.

Palate

Rich fruit weight, honey and lemon curd with balanced natural acidity.

Food Matching

A perfect accompaniment to freshly shucked Coffin Bay oysters, Atlantic Salmon or King George Whiting.

Cellaring Potential

This wine has benefited from careful cellaring and will continue to develop over time, 5+ years. Showing bottle age characteristics of honey and toasty notes, there is a freshness, elegance and purity.

Winery Profile

David O'Leary and Nick Walker both have a love of winemaking, a desire to create something exceptional and a strong affinity with the Australian wine industry.

After working for large companies for twenty years and amassing over 300 gold medals and 60 trophies(including a Jimmy Watson and twice International Red Wine Maker of the Year), David and Nick had achieved just about everything that a winemaker could.

A new challenge beckoned and David and Nick's belief in their winemaking skills and their confidence in the fruit and the vineyards available to them was the catalyst for them to establish their own venture based in South Australia's picturesque Clare Valley.

As with all things in life, a window of opportunity opens only a few times and they believed it was their turn to step up, have a go and return to what winemaking is all about, making great wine from great vineyard sites.

"A riesling with presence and power."

93 Points

A riesling with presence and power. The bouquet has lime and lemon blossom aromas, a hint of wild flower lurking behind. The palate has intensity and power built around a shaft of acidity thrusting through the citrus fruit.
