James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion 2023

Bridgeland's Vineyard in Karridale; includes a small portion of barrel ferment. Much richer – and more complex – than the vast majority, with the precision brought by the cool Karridale district in the far south of Margaret River, the busts of passionfruit and snow peas, and the smokey notes ex barrel ferment that all play hide and seek on the bouquet and palate alike. Impossible to beat the value offered here.

Ray Jordan, Top 100 Whites 2021

Complex savvy for this price range with a little barrel fermentation adding significantly to the palate texture and complexity. You still get those delicious primary fruit flavours, but then there is a little bit more.
