Ray Jordan, The West Australian 2022

This is the initial release of La Maison from this single vineyard site near Hobart. Combines all the best elements of great pinot – elegance, precision, subtle finesse and a fine acidity. On the nose, plum and raspberry notes with darker cherry notes emerge. The palate is super intense with a deep, concentrated core. Yet it delivers with so much of that pinot finesse. Richly layered dark fruits provide a dense core with earthy undertones, Christmas cake and a tea-like character bring life and length (best drinking: Now to 2035).

Winestate 2021

Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Deep-ish red-purple, a bright youthful colour, the bouquet showing dominant whole-bunch stalky and earthy, dusty, root-vegetable aromas, while the wine is very intense and concentrated on the tongue, with quite a strong contribution from oak and impressive penetration, the finish lingering on and on. There's a touch of bitterness and astringency from the tannins but the wine is young and will reward a little cellar time.

Pinot Noir of the Year, Tyson Stelzer, Halliday Wine Companion 2023

Lowestoft Vineyard; up to 50% whole bunches; gentle hand plunging; matured 10 months in 25% new large-format French oak. The 2020 vintage secures Lowestoft among Tasmania's A-league, but it's going to be a long time before the full magnificence of its flagship is realised. The coiled potential on display here is something to behold, with pristine and precise black and red cherry fruit intricately woven with the perfumed allure of whole bunches and the fine-grained framework of top-class French oak. Brilliant.

Erin Larkin, Robert Parker Wine Advocate 2023

Complex and spicy from the very first. Layers of orange rind, clove, star anise, Earl Grey tea and saffron/turmeric (in the range of yellow spices) jostle with the expected (but no less welcome) cherry, cranberry, redcurrant and pomegranate. The tannins, once in the mouth, feel chalky/dusty/chewy, almost... a plume, rather than a wall. This is a beautiful wine that is graceful, powerful and detailed. Very good.
