Just a quick public service announcement to let you know of two fab reviews we've just received for the 2023 Tupelo. Ned Goodwin MW has always been a fan of this blend, and really helped put the wine on the map when it was awarded best white blend in the Halliday Wine Companion Awards in 2021. Writing now for American critic James Sucking, he had this to say on the 2023:
'This can be among Australia's very finest white wines. Period...Each varietal rivet welded to a greater, more holistic sense of depth, resinous complexity, scintillating length and wow factor. The blend just is, ultimately transcending the individual parts, despite their mention on the back label...A wine of profundity and real potential.' 96 points
The good news is that there is still some available (often these reviews come out and I have already sold out so this is a big bonus!)
I'm busy this week getting the 2023 Rada ready for bottling - this year's version shows the trademark cherry pip lift of previous years, melded with plenty of spice and slippery fruit. Watch out for another e-mail about the release of that in a few weeks.
And while I remember, thanks to all of you who have already ordered (and are hopefully enjoying) this year's releases. Vanessa and I were overwhelmed by the response.
As always, thanks so much to all of you who continue to support me and Stargazer, allowing me and my small team to keep doing what I love.
