"From a single block of the estate Heywood Vineyard, open-fermented with 30% whole bunches, the balance whole berries, 7 days cold soak, 14-day ferment plus some post-ferment maceration, matured in high quality French barriques (35% new) for 12 months. Great colour announces a special wine that ticks all the boxes: depth of dark berry fruits, spice, licorice and supple tannins. Bargain+++." - 97 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion
'Nick O'Leary is one of a tight pack of young Canberra District winemakers that have pushed the region into the national spotlight.' Peter Bourne
'Certainly a young wine talent to watch, Nick O’Leary is quietly going about his Canberra District-centric production with aplomb. He’s hooking up with good vineyards, keeping his winemaking simple to get the best expression of fruit and keen on focussing his attention on Canberra District’s ‘best’ varieties.’ Mike Bennie
