The Wine Review Collection includes following wines:

2022 Shiraz, 94 Points - "The fruit for this excellent shiraz has been sourced from Frankland River. It’s a beautiful wine that reflects this super region for shiraz. Lifted floral bouquet with a glazed cherry and dark plum combo. The palate is supple bright and vibrant with fine chalky tannins and a faint hint of ironstone lurking within. So beautifully balanced." Cellar 3 years.

2022 Cabernet Sauvignon, 94 Points - "You hear, and rightfully so, about the shiraz from Frankland, but the region does some outstanding cabernets as well. This one shows a strong varietal blackcurrant and slightly graphite cracked seashell character on the nose that takes you into the structure and controlled palate. It’s more medium to full bodied but the fruit intensity is excellent." Cellar 10 years.

2022 Chardonnay, 92 Points - "A slightly more restrained chardonnay compared with the 2021. It’s tighter with a taut and slightly tense middle palate. But the oak and fruit balance work really well with the savoury stone fruit and citrus characters working with the slightly cashew-like influences." Cellar 7 years.

2023 Chardonnay, 94 Points - "This is a first-rate chardonnay showing the benefits of this excellent season. There is power and concentrated intensity here, yet it presents with restraint and precision. The result is a palate of great poise and length. Stone fruit with a nutty citrus and slightly savoury finish. Some time in barrel has worked well. So well balanced. An excellent wine." Cellar 7 years.

2022 Riesling, 92 Points - "Another very good Riesling from this Denmark vineyard. A merging of cut lime and lemon zest with traces of spicy minerals a feature. It’s bone dry and long with a precise mouth feel through to the finish." Cellar 8 years.

2023 Riesling, 94 Points - "The spicy minerality of this taut yet still slightly textural Riesling is fascinating. White florals on the nose with a little lemony citrus. The palate is controlled and persistent with tremendous length. It was a terrific season, and this one has turned out beautifully. One of the best from this excellent vintage." Cellar 2 years.
