Vinous Reverie NotesSylvaner is a dry, fresh, fruity, lively wine with very good body and personality. The grapes are sourced entirely from the Domaine’s estate vineyard, Clos de Capuchins. Comes from land composed of sandy silt soil on...

91 points Vinous"The 2021 Chardonnay (Carneros) is soft, open-knit and very easy to like. Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper lend vibrancy to this steely, finely-cut Chardonnay from Frank Family. All the elements are very nicely balanced...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2021 Yarra Junction Pinot Noir is very light in color and low in alcohol too (11%). On the nose, you get cherries, tobacco, garden mint, star anise, fennel seeds and blood plum along with enoki, pastrami and...

Jancis Robinson"Picked at different ripeness levels – some malo and some not. A cocktail!Pale, lively and so different! Bone dry with great tension. A bit of skin contact? But not excessively so. Really vital and energising. VGV (*very good...

95 points James Suckling"A beautifully crafted pinot, as always, with focused fruit, subtle undertones of cedar and leather and hints of foie gras. It’s full-bodied, but not heavy, with plenty of tension and focus. Bright acidity with depth and...

90 points Wine Spectator“This red is rich and dark, exuding blackberry, black plum, earth and iron aromas and flavors. Shows a touch of earthy reduction, but this is juicy and balanced otherwise, with bracing acidity driving the finish. Decant now...

93 points James Suckling"Perfumed aromas of white peaches, lily and beeswax. Medium-bodied with oily texture. Rather supple with very good concentration. Mineral with an almost saline character. Pure, transparent and crystal clear. From vines that are up...

94 points James Suckling "Lovely texture and density, showing dried apple, fresh ginger and pastry dough. Layered, with phenolic tension."   92 points Wine Spectator "Complex and seamless, there's plenty to admire in this white wine...

95 points Wine Enthusiast"One of the best bargains around, from New Zealand’s leading Chardonnay producer, this is restrained, creamy and downright delicious. Vibrant aromas of lemon peel, melon, toast and flint lead to a supple, slinky, elegant...
