所有出品均收割自酒莊栽培的優質果實來釀造，堅持最天然的工序以保持最純淨的口味及產區風格。較大的葡萄樹齡及改善栽培方法令這款西拉能在近十年間持續卓越水準，現已公認為澳洲涼氣候產區中最頂級的西拉紅酒之一。
All wines are made from estate grown fruit using natural processes that reflect the flavours specific to the site. Mature vines and improved viticulture have made the wines more consistent over the past 10 years or so. One of the finest cool climate Shirazs in Australia.

其他評價 Other Reviews:
細緻優雅的酒香釋放各種紅色果實風味；中度酒體帶出完美的均衡口感，現在已可輕鬆飲用，但長年的陳年演化潛力也不容低估。95分
There is an almost pinot-like fragrance and delicacy to the bouquet of shimmering red fruits; the balance and mouthfeel of the light to medium-bodied palate is perfect, making the wine one of those with an almost indefinite drinking span, starting now. 95 points
