2015 Margaret Semillon

Hand-picked fruit from Light Pass vineyards. I first tasted this vintage shortly after fermentation and such is its stamina that its youthful verve is upheld with astonishing clarity six years later! An impossibly pale straw-green. Shot with cut grass, fresh lemon, Granny Smith apple skin. Building preserved lemon, buttered toast and subtle nutmeg. Crystalline acidity electrifies an exceedingly long finish. The Hunter is king of dry semillon and Margaret is its only true rival.

2016 Stonewell Shiraz- 97 Points

Deep crimson. Intense dark plum, blackberry, praline aromas with roasted hazelnut, roasted chestnut notes. Richly concentrated and inky deep with dark berry, dark chocolate, panforte flavours, plentiful fine grained tannins and beautifully integrated mocha, roasted chestnut oak notes. Finishes chocolaty/ firm with cedar, aniseed notes. An exceptional Barossa vintage. Matured in French oak hogsheads for 18 months. Drinking well now, but best to keep for a while. 2025–2042+

I have been a wine club member for five years now and highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys wines from this region. There is no fuss, just beautiful wines delivered to my door.
