"Wonderfully fragrant and bright, this shows strawberries, pomegranate, rose petals and crushed stones. It’s crunchy, medium-bodied and superbly drinkable. The red fruit is there, but it’s also mineral with hints of flowers and even fresh mint. 50% whole-bunch. From bush vines planted in 1982. Drink now or hold." James Suckling 94 points Drink 2025-35

The 2023 Follow the Line is 93% Cinsault and 7% Syrah from dry-farmed 42-year-old vines on a south-facing, wind-exposed, site in Darling on granitic soils. It has an open-knit, well-defined, transparent bouquet with earthy red berry fruit, tea leaf and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied and smooth in texture, with lovely wilted rose petals infusing the red fruit. Leaner than the other Cinsaults, it's easy-drinking in many ways but still complex. This will be irresistible over the next decade.
