Stuart McCloskey “The flavours saturate the palate – flint and chalky characteristics expand. It’s clearly full of life and energy - wonderful length too. This really has that something extra and yet again provides incredible value for money...read more

Chris Coulter, Winemaker "The wine is showing all the hallmarks of premium cool climate Chardonnay, white nectarine, lemon peel, oatmeal, and nougat aromas. A full, concentrated pallet with wonderful depth and complexity all framed with bright acidity."  

Ned Goodwin MW, Wine Companion “The oak-derived tannins are still very present, yet the compact, mid-weighted palate boasts a thrust of fruit, parry of structure and considerable class. Truffled nougatine, marzipan and macadamia. Nectarine and white peach, too...read more

Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com "Acid is prodigious, as usual with this cuvée, but in 2021, it only serves to further accentuate the crushed pistachio/rosewater, white peach and Golden Delicious apples in the mouth...my suggestion would be to hold this for several years. Your patience will be amply rewarded."

Stuart McCloskey "The bouquet is epic and immensely pleasing – Wonderful length which shows its quality.  Pure, precise, detailed and simply, darn right delicious...read more

Erin Larkin, RobertParker.com "It's gently reductive, pillowy and cushioned yet precise and tight. Gotta love that southern acidity. It is still coming together. It will be so much better in a year or more. I love this wine."

Stuart McCloskey “She’s tender but does deliver lots of flavour, along with creamy texture, and a thrill of acidity. Stone fruits meld to citrus – there’s spice and flint too. Super length...read more

Erin Larkin "Fermented in stainless steel in the pursuit of purity, and left on fine lees prior to filtration and bottling in July. The acidity is coiled and taut and brilliant...read more

Stuart McCloskey "It's great to see such quality although, no surprise, given the pedigree behind the winemaker. Fans of Bruce’s Artus and Purus will enjoy this wine immensely... read more

95 Points - James Halliday's Wine Companion "From the Zerk vineyard at Lyndoch. An almost ethereal bouquet, displaying aromas of raspberry, rose perfume and sweet vanillin spice. Rich and easy drinking (in a positive way)...read more

Stuart McCloskey "This is never going to win awards or huge scores however, this is crafted to provide vibrancy and bucket loads of fun (albeit with a touch of seriousness)...read more

Erin Larkin "2020 will go down as an exceptional year; the fruit was lush, the tannins plentiful and it was also low yielding. This has nicely supple fruit and plenty of flavour. The tannins wrap around the outside of the mouth, creating a lingering tail through the finish."

Julian Langworthy "Ladies and gentlemen, drum roll if you please. Cabernet is back, you know it, you can’t deny it…The Sheoak vineyard makes expressive, medium-bodied, silky structured wines...this is a very fine boned release of the Nocturne SV...read more

Jeni Port, Wine Companion “ Retains the essence of sangiovese's black-cherry-fruited and aniseed vibrancy with the added addition of sweet plummy, raspberry freshness and vigour. There's a whole lot of energy here in unison with chocolate...read more

Jeni Port, Wine Companion “Rests easy with a sweet plummy approachability that is very easy to enjoy right now. Brilliant, bright cherry-red hues. The scent suggests everything summery from strawberry, cherry and wild raspberry to red licorice and spice...so fresh and keen and ready to go.”

Chris Coulter, Winemaker "Adelaide Hills Gamay. Bright Cherry red, aromas and flavours of red fruit, white pepper and obvious whole bunch all supported by crunchy acidity and a subtle structure that provides length and weight."
