Other Reviews…..
It has to be said, the Toolangi wines have never looked so good. Obviously vineyard work is paying off and, of course, winemaking is more focused as a result. This is still in a youthful, primary phase, but that won't stop anyone drinking it today. Super-bright fruit, laced with spices, well-handled smoky/meaty reduction, more of the prosciutto variety. A grind of pepper, juniper and mint add to the savoury flavours. The palate is taut, tannins giving, and bright acidity to match. Well played.
