100% Shiraz. A striking harmony of dried thyme, oregano and mace with sublime aromatic undertones of red fruit and liquorice. Rich and powerful with plenty of fleshy sweet fruit tumbling through to the long spicy finish. A great future ahead. Platinum. Score - 97. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2023)

Classic Barossa Shiraz on the nose: mint and eucalyptus alongside sweet dark fruit, engine oil and smoky bacon. Very complex with an overlay of quality oak, the supple tannins in immaculate balance, the length astonishing. Utterly superb! [Drink into mid-2030s.] Score - 97. (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2021)

This wine has an impressive nose, featuring aromas of dark berries, rich flowers, and mixed spices. On the palate, it offers succulent fruit flavours with excellent weight, complemented by a smooth texture and polished tannins. The wine is beautifully rounded yet wonderfully structured, leading to a persistent, flavoursome finish. At its best: now to 2035. Score - 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Nov. 2025)

Fresh and vibrant with luscious aromas of dark cherries, blood plums, dried herbs and blackcurrants. The palate is medium- to full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and bright acidity, giving generous notes of mulberries, mocha, ferric earth and violets. A wonderful balance of fresh fruit with a savory undertone. Drink or hold. Score - 93. (jamessuckling.com, Oct. 23, 2024)

I've written before how I like the 2024 Eden Valley rieslings. They are perhaps not as aromatically punchy as the norm but they are stony-pure with that familiar Christmas lily volume just turned down a notch. But that focused line, eh?! The Freya here is a beauty, all velocity and limey precision and I am here for it. A cracker. Drink from: 2024. Drink by: 2036. Special Value. Score - 94.
