Dune 'The Empty Quarter' SGM 2022
Trophy at the Sydney Royal Wine Show - The Arthur Kelman Perpetual Trophy for Best Shiraz Dominant Blend.
Gold Medal - Royal Adelaide Wine Show
"A beautifully detailed and handled wine that is a super-elegant version of standard GSM. The beauty of this wine and its blue/red fruits and berries demands that it be consumed forthwith. 96 points" James Halliday, The Australian
"Plum, blueberry, sage and aniseed, spice and dried flowers. It’s medium-bodied, something of a Dutch liquorice character, also ferrous, inky and earthy, fine silty cocoa tannin, and a satisfying finish of excellent length. I love the grip and savoury complexity. Very good. 94 points" Gary Walsh, Winefront
"Common companions, shiraz, grenache and mataro are joined here by a splash of touriga nacional. This sits more towards the midweight camp, with bright and crunchy red fruit notes with some blueberry, boysenberry and red florals accented by cracked earth, ferrous notes, white pepper and brown cardamom. It’s a terrifically bright but flavoursome wine, with a sneakily grippy line of fine tannin adding savoury interest and making it a brilliant foil for food." Young Gun of Wines' "Wines We Love" - September 2023
