STUART KNOX, THE REAL REVIEW

“Vibrant lemon and lime colours shining through whilst the nose leaps

with ripe melon, hints of flint and nettle leaf. Dense and powerful, there’s

a real intensity to the core of fruit here but it is balanced by spice and

flint complexities with bright acid and a brush of phenolics keeping it

well focused and driving it. The finish is clean, tense and very long. A

very impressive example of the variety.

DAVE BROOKES, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

"Grüner veltliner from the Belbrook vineyard on the East Coast of

Tasmania; fermented in French oak then transferred to stainless steel.

Pale with green flashes and aromas of white peach, nashi pear and

grapefruit along with hints of wildflowers, white pepper, crème fraîche,

stone, fennel and a peek of almond blossom and mountain herbs.

Crystalline in its clarity and drive with impressive tension and minerality,

it's a great example of a variety showing much promise in Tasmania.

"Power and presence. Oak is certainly apparent but the fruit quality here

is quite something. Citrus, pepper, cedar, grapefruit pulp and nectarine

with an almond paste-like character through the back half of the wine.

It’s coiled but there’s yet no question of its length. There’s grip too; a

squeakiness. This is impressive.
