info to come.
Moorak 'Carey Gully' Chardonnay 2023
Pretty serious stuff here. Lots of ripe lemon, citrus oil and white stone fruit. Great mouthfeel with richness on show but fleshy acid to support. Primary and juicy with good energy and tension. Mandarin zest and orange rind to close. Really enjoying this. - Ches Cook, FWC.
Moorak 'Gryn Vineyard' Pinot Noir 2022
Pale colour in the glass, very attractive perfume but with substance. Palate is medium bodied at most - lots of detail: briar, wet earth, definite spice profile. Quite complex. 100% whole bunch but gobbled up nicely. Quite serious Pinot with savouriness throughout. Great stuff - have i tasted something this good from Mount Gambier before? Unlikely. - Ches Cook, FWC.
"From Mount Gambier and the Gryn Vineyard. All the bunches are whole in the ferment with 20% new oak as seasoning. Spicy, herbal, light, fresh, bright, crunchy, crisp, revitalising red wine. I tasted it cold and at a room temp-ish temperature, both worked, though I kind of liked cold a bit more. It sits a few rungs up from a rosé in a way with red cherry, sappy plum, cranberry fruit woven through woody spices, sage leaf, brine-mineral elements on hand too – somewhat simple despite lots to say. Sleek with a fine, featherweight grip of dusty tannin. Very nice drinking, dart-like shape albeit the finish a bit more loose and open, albeit spicy and herbal again. Incredibly enjoyable. 93 points." - Mike Bennie, Wine Front.
