94-96 Points - Neal Martin "The Domaine de Chevalier Blanc has a reserved, stony nose that you have to be patient with – give it a few minutes and there are some subtle undergrowth scents that begin to emerge, hints of orange...read more

93 Points - James Suckling "A juicy and rich red, offering chocolate and hazelnuts. Plum and berry undertones. Full-bodied with angular tannins that are firm and muscular. Needs a year or two to soften still."

2005 Carruades de Lafite

By chance, Duck Muck was produced by a stroke of luck. Super-ripe Shiraz was picked from their Original Vineyard however, the quantity was too small to fill one barrel...read more 

Crafted exclusively for the cellar door. The first time this wine has ever been exported. You're the guinea pigs!

Stuart McCloskey "As Robert Parker declared “Roman Bratasiuk is one of Planet Earth’s greatest winemakers”. Yes, the 03 Syrah is full-bodied however, Clarendon Hills is all about purity, the expression of terrior and vintage variation...read more

94 Points - Gary Walsh, The Wine Front "An excursion into Victoria, dangerous as that may be these days, sourced from a 19 year old vineyard in Colbinabbin. Sweet red fruit, gum leaf, plenty of spice. Medium-bodied...read more

Winemaker Notes: The latest addition to the Estate comes from the youngest blocks of the property planted in 2013 and is complemented with the 1997 shiraz. Handpicked for the first time in 2020, “Dreams of Gold” is a bright purple...read more

Winemaker Cherry fruits and floral notes fil the palate. There are complexities galore all sitting on a precise palate of lacy fine tannins with lovely acid core. The palate is long and persistent with evolving complexities as time goes by in the glass.

97 Points - Stuart McCloskey “The tempo changes and concentration is heightened as the 2020 Little Hampton deserves attention – it’s not a wine to guzzle without consideration. The bouquet develops at a glacial pace, it needs 1-2 hours in the decanter..read more

Jane Faulkner, James Halliday Wine Companion – “Such a solid performer. It’s wonderfuly fragrant; all florals, exotic spices, cherries and cola. Unencumbered by new oak flavour (aged in used French hogsheads and puncheons), it’s all about the purity...read more
