2011 Coolangatta Estate Wollstonecraft Individual Vineyard Semillon

2025-12-23T09:48:17Z

95 points - Light gold, surprisingly youthful. Pristine lemon, oyster shell aromas. Beautiful presence in the mouth, full and flavoursome, appetising phenolic grip and lemony acidity, tense with tinges of hot butter toast.

95 points - Intriguing aromas of lemon and hazelnutty development character. A joyful, harmonious palate, balanced and driving in flavour. Hazelnutty notes, complex acacia wood honey, there is a twinge of sweetness that provides foil to the tight lemony acidity and buttery toast phenolics.

2020 Cherry Tree Hill Riesling

2025-02-01T10:32:08Z

93 points - Pale green. Mineral salty nose. The palate is soapy, some lime, beautifully integrated and drinking superbly now. Excellent acid balance, and of the right finesse. Drinking superbly now. Great with grilled fruit, summer salads and Asian dishes.

2020 Cherry Tree Hill Riesling

2025-02-01T10:33:05Z

91 points - Light gold. Wet stone aromas, lime, flinty and a bit reductive, intermingled with the beginnings of toasty aged characters. Fulsome and intense on the palate, flavours veer into the dairy component direction. Again mineral bitterness lingering.

95 points - Mid yellow. Nuanced aroma of lemon pith, candle wax, just on the cusp of really displaying honeyed aged notes. The palate shows real refinement, flowing and quietly powerful, again the tinge of honey and spices starting to emerge. A beautiful glass of middle aged Semillon.

94 points - Pale green. Fragrant like blossoms with a hint of seductive sweetness. Palate shows great integration with a chalky mineral lemon edge. There is the tiniest hint of sweetness, giving the wine a nice charme and taking the edge of the harsh acidity than can plague young Semillon. This wine needs another decade. It’s just starting to blossom.

96 points - Superbly aged, at peak. This wine is a show stopper. Toasty aromas with effortless power, easily matching an intense seafood prawn pasta with tomato sauce. Drinking perfectly now, perhaps another 5-10 years.

97 points - Medium gold. Intriguing, complex and multifaceted on the nose, aged notes intermingle with lemon, wax and lanolin, hazelnuts. The palate follows in its footsteps, this is elegant, fleet, acidity refined, deeply flavoured, the aged, honeyed, nutty, lemony notes dance. Beautiful wine, with grace and yet power.

95 points - Medium dark red. Attractive, measured tobacco leaf, cigarette style, cherry like aromas. Soft, beautifully integrated tannins, juicy and succulent and fleshy. A complete and very nicely aged. Chocolately in the finish. What a surprise.
