The vineyards are owned/ managed by three of the best-known McLaren Vale growers, namely Ian Leask (Breakneck Creek), David Paxton (Quandong Farm) and Tony Parkinson (Penny’s Hill).

Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate : 91 points Dec 2009

"The 2008 Shiraz has a lovely, expressive nose of pain grille, Asian spices, pepper, game, violets, incense and blueberry. On the palate it is dense, layered, and has plenty of ripe, fine grained tannin leading to a fruit-filled finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and offering a drinking window extending through 2023."
