Expert Reviews

James Halliday          Wine Companion

Sourced from Wilyabrup and Carbanup. It is built on a deep-set core of natural acidity and deliberate fermentation and maturation in used French barriques. An elegant wine with perfect balance and length, the jasmine scents of bouquet deliciously seductive.
