Jeremy Oliver, OnWine - 90pts
"From Mount Crawford, 450 metres high in the hills around the Barossa’s south-eastern extremity comes the first Garganega planting outside of Italy and possibly still the only plantings of this grape in Australia. Garganega is the principal variety of Italy’s deliciously dry and textured Soave wine from Verona. This wine has a lightly smoky, earthy and pear-like fragrance with a nutty background. Smooth and sumptuous, its generous, nutty and dusty palate of fresh, juicy pear and apple-like fruit culminates in a long, dry and savoury finish backed by an appealing hint of reductive complexity. (Barossa, $12.50 ex cellar, 17.2/90, drink 2007-2008+)."
