“Light straw-yellow colour; appealing bouquet of subtle toasty oak and lemon and grapefruit characters. There is good lemony intensity in the mid-palate which carries long, the fruit doing most of the talking. A refined style of considerable charm, and it has the potential to go further. Lovely drinking.”
95/100 Huon Hooke, The Real Review, April 2020
2018 Chardonnay
“It’s creamy cashew and peachy, ginger spice (feels posh too), a silky feel in with juicy pink grapefruit acidity and flavour, flows along beautifully, but it’s the burst of fresh acidity and intensity on the long finish that makes it so very appealing. Flavour yes, but delivered with style and control. Excellent.”

2017 Shiraz
“A graceful and effortless Shiraz. Mixed berries, a little cracked pepper and spice, gentle vanilla and floral perfume. It’s medium-bodied, fine and pleasingly ‘mineral’ in feel and taste, supple long grained tannin, and spicy, long and a little meaty to close. Beautifully made”

2019 Vermentino
“Very good Vermentino. Fine chalky feel, lemon pith and spice, freshness and energy, some juicy green pear flavour, savoury almost umami flavour on the finish, along with a little quinine-like bitterness. Lovely.”

2016 Shiraz
“Beechworth shiraz. Fermented wild, 10% whole bunches, all-French oak, no fining or filtration. It’s a pretty, medium-weight shiraz but it doesn’t lack flavour; or character for that matter. Trademark (in Beechworth terms) cherry-plum fruit flavour with inklings of anise. Choc-orange notes, not into Jaffa territory but suggestive of it. Herb notes, sweet and floral. Maybe some mint. It just works. Tannin is massaged through the back half. It’s a lovely shiraz.”

2017 Chardonnay
“There’s no doubt that Beechworth is ‘flavour country’ when it comes to Chardonnay.
Golden colour with peach, lime zest, honey oatmeal, fresh basil, and spicy oak in the background. Medium to full-bodied, almond biscuit, ripe citrus and peach, a good tang and grip in the middle, though perhaps a little loose through the finish. Good wine. I’m thinking roast chicken.”
