96 James Halliday "It's complex, and in a lineage that will ensure the wine has a healthy life ahead.....Drink to 2030."
94 Gary Walsh "Guava, gooseberry, cut fennel, spice and juicy grapefruit. Smooth, slightly smoky, juicy feel to it, and savoury with green twigs and cheese, old pineapple, fresh though, with a long and spicy finish. Lovely wine. MR SB showing it's class."

Gold 95 International Wine Challenge - London 95 Real Review “This is one of the better examples, from gifted winemaker Bruce Dukes. Retaining a youthful bright yellow hue. Snow peas, oak-toast, lemon essence and wheatgerm – lovely fresh nose. Oak is terrific. A creamy glide across the palate, lemon zest kicks in to give energy to the finish. Beautifully constructed. Faith in pristine fruit rewarded.” Nick Butler94 Walsh | 93 Suckling

96 Top 100 Halliday “The naked power of sauvignon blanc that fuels this wine is exceptional. Its fiercely unsweetened lemon fruit and zest ensure it will outlive the patience of many who buy it expecting a developed wine.”

92 James Suckling “A gently flinty nose with lemon peel and a very fresh impression overall. The palate has a very composed, smooth fruit core with bright acidity that drives a pithy style to the finish. Drink or hold.” 92 Huon Hooke2015 Sauvage Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
