2022 Dark Horse Winemaker of the Year

We were thrilled to be named the 2022 Wine Companion ‘Dark Horse Winemaker of the Year’.

“Minimal imprint in the vineyard and winery, judicious use of high-quality oak and courageous extraction gift us with a suite of detailed, precise and prodigiously digestible wines. These are the sort of savoury mid-weighters across price points that this country should make more of. With growing traction on the best lists of Sydney, I suggest you grab some of these wines while the going is still good.” Wine Companion
