Awards

Sam Kim - The Wine Orbit
94/100

It's finely scented on the nose, showing lime peel, lemon sorbet, green apple and white floral aromas. The palate displays pristine fruit flavours with focus and linear mouthfeel, brilliantly structured by racy acidity. Wonderfully composed with finesse and elegance. At its best: 2026 to 2036. $26.00. www.benmurraywines.com. Feb 2024.

Peter Nixon - The Wine Libertine
94/100

Winemaker Dan Eggleton, pays homage to the classical regional wine style of (high) Eden Valley Riesling, not an in-your-face expression, but a quieter, subtler, more age-worthy, restrained expression. At an old school 11% alc, this pristine Riesling implores you to dig deeper, revealing much complexity as it warms in the glass - lemon & lime, honeysuckle and a slatey-minerality. One of Dan’s mentors, legendary Riesling maker - the late, great John Vickery would almost certainly approve. Delicious now, with some plump Pacific oysters or steamed scallops with ginger & shallot, this Riesling will gain flesh over the next decade becoming more unctuous. 94+/100 Peter Nixon, The Wine Libertine

Winemaking Whole berry is pressed in the pneumatic press, with the juice then treated gently with antioxidant coverage of dry ice (CO2) and chilled immediately to well below zero. Held in this manner for nearly two weeks to fully settle the juice, the solids were racked away to leave a bright fresh juice. This was then allowed to slowly warm and naturally ferment in conjunction with the addition of bentonite clay to aid stabilisation and assist in aromatic protection. Following a 20-day cool ferment, the wine was again chilled and separated from the solids. An addition of Cream of Tartar works to pull proteins and unstable elements from the wine, leaving it bright & fresh and no signs of cloudiness from the natural wild ferment.
