“Rosé of the Year AUS & NZ”, Winestate Magazine: Wine of the Year Awards 2019
“4 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, November/December 2018
“Light bright lemon hues, broad tropical aromas and great varietal fruit flavours with crisp acidity. Be great with shell fish!.”
“4 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Dark pink wine showing nice complexity and development with rich pomegranate-like aromas and plenty of upfront fruit flavours.”
“4 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Nose shows powerful varietal tones of passionfruit, herbs and asparagus. Long, pleasing and lightly tropical/grassy flavours balanced by hints of limes.”
“4.5 Stars” & “Wine of the Year Taste-Off 2018 Qualifier”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“I used to drink a lot of this in my younger days because it was always exceptional value for money. After tasting this, clearly it still is. It is true to the Allandale style… A versatile wine that will shine whether it be at a backyard barbeque or in a classy restaurant. Good value…”
Rick Allen, Manly Daily, July 24th 2009
“There’s superb balance in this very attractive Hunter wine. A blend of barrel fermented, wood aged and unoaked components result in stone fruit/figgy characters and nutty nuances. Complex and elegant…”
Wine of the Week, Winsor Dobbin, June 6th 2009
“Bright tropical fruit nose with a hint of mango. Great lemon varietal characters on the simple and beautiful ageing, palate.”
“4 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Very rich and appealing style but still has a way to go to reach its full potential. Lovely minerally aged characters balanced with great varietal fruit expression.”
“5 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Top 5 Finalist”, 2018 Winestate Wine of the Year
“Zesty lemon citrus and green straw nose. Palate is bright and lively with lemon sorbet-like flavours. Good example of the variety.”
“4 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, July 2012
“4.5 Stars” & “Wine of the Year Taste-Off 2018 Qualifier”, Winestate Magazine, November/December 2018
“Beautifully toasty, honeyed lemon development obvious on the nose with a generous yet elegant palate that is brimming over with custard apple and crème brulle-like flavours.”
“5 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, July 2012
“Glowing, almost iridescent green gold; the screwcap has done its job to perfection, allowing the wine to develop just a touch of honey to join the citrus flavours, without a hint of tiredness. Now or in another 10 years…”
James Halliday, Australian Wine Companion 2011
“The sister wine to this (an ’03) won a trophy last year and the price jumped 50%. Grab hold of this before it does the same thing…”
NSW Wine Uncovered, 2010
“Very attractive, deep purple cabernet with slight confectionery like raspberry fruit/vanilla nose and a rich fruit palate with a spicy underlay and chocolaty complexity evolving.”
“4.5 Stars” & “Wine of the Year Taste-Off 2018 Qualifier”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Great nose; lots of dark berries, lots of chocolate and lots of spices. Nice sour red cherry fruit impression on the lean palate. High alcohol.”
“4.5 Stars”, Winestate Magazine, May/June 2018
“Moody fruit/oak aromas with intense depth of varietal fruit and cedar oak on the palate.”
Winestate Magazine, August 2010
“Here’s terrific value in Hunter Shiraz… from grapes from a Pokolbin vineyard with 40 year old, unirrigated vines…”
