NOTES
This is now the full-time business of former Hardy’s chief winemaker Geoff Weaver. He draws on a little over 11 hectares of vineyard established between 1982 and 1988; and invariably produces immaculate Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc, and one of the longest lived Chardonnays to be found in Australia, with intense grapefruit and melon flavour. The beauty of the labels ranks supreme with that of Pipers Brook.
James Halliday's 2005 Australian and New Zealand Wine Companion.
Five star winery rating (Excellent producer of very high quality wines)
TASTING NOTES
Fresh, complex and mineral with subtle pear overtones; the palate is crisp, tight, fine and understated. Supple mid palate with drying savoury finish. A wine of freshness, delicacy and subtle power. Positive texture adds to the savoury edge.
PAST REVIEWS
Has all the elegance and finesse which is the hallmark of the Weaver style; white peach, creamy/nutty nuances and balanced acidity give the wine harmony and length. Screwcap.13.5% alc. Rating 94 Drink 2015 James Halliday, Tasted July 2009
Lemon curd and hazelnut aromas almost into persimmons-fully engaging to begin with and beyond, as wild ferment characters add interest along with herbal elements like lemon verbena and even sorrel with a keen balance between natural acidity and unctuous mouth feel- think crisp and refreshing, then a seductive creaminess in the finish. Distinctive. 94 points Tony Love, The Advertiser, 6 May 2009
