Experts say

Double Gold at CWSA 2015

Grand Gold Medal Concours Mondial de Bruxelles 2015

Gold Medal Mundus Vini 2014

Silver Medal at Decanter AWA 2015 – “Ripe red fruit and spicy liquorice develop rich intensity on the full bodied palate where the sweet fruit concentration is balanced by ripe tannins to create a smooth mouthfeel. Well made wine.”

Bronze medal at Decanter WWA 2015 – “Aromatic nose of violets and hints of spices; intensely mineral with concentrated, sappy fruit flavours, bright acidity, and grippy tannins that show good ageing potential.”

Silver Medal at CWSA 2014

Bronze Medal at Decanter Awards 2014 – “Ripe nose of herbaceous mint and black tea. Hot and muscular structure and style. Bold, up front wine with a long finish.”
