94 Points. Campbell Mattinson. The Wine Front … “Bellvale’s vineyard in South Gippsland is planted at 7100 vines per hectare. with an average vine age of 15 years.  This is a powerful release of Quercus. It’s aromatic and spicy with a churn of flavour through the finish. Dark cherries. earth. sap. peppers and smoked meats.  Real oomph.  Real complexity.  Real good.” 13% Alc.  Do not miss out here!
