Jancis Robinson"100% dry Barossa rosé wine as a base, Australian native botanicals. Ingredients include illwarra plum, rosella and strawberry gum – all totally foreign to me! RS 70 g/l.Pale orangey pink – more orange than pink...

Jancis Robinson"Surprising amount of TDN on the nose already. Quite developed but still fresh and lively. Creamy texture comes as a surprise. Lots of lime fruit even though the bottle age is showing in a hint of kerosene. More savoury and tight on the...

93 points James Suckling"This is very floral, with lots of violets, together with such attractive blueberries, blackcurrants, cherries, terra cotta and fresh herbs. The palate is very intense, with rich, fine tannins that have supple texture and bright,...

98 points Australian Wine Companion"Another alluring Coal River chardonnay release from the folks at Tolpuddle. It's at once full and concentrated but is reined in by a tight framework of acidity, coiling on rails of minerality before powering...
