'A blend of 1/3 Adelaide Hills fruit and 2/3 McLaren Vale, the 2010 The Violinist Verdelho gives intense aromas of lemon juice, white pepper, coriander seed and a touch of grapefruit peel. Crisp, rich and very full in the mouth (15.5% declared alcohol), this Verdelho provides a great intensity of spiced citrus flavors with some poached pears and apple slices coming through in the long finish. Delicious now, it should remain fresh and vibrant to 2013.' - 90 points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, www.erobertparker.com

‘Brilliant pale straw colour with watery hue. The nose displays lifted aromas of tropical fruits, spice and citrus. The palate is very full in style with concentrated mouthfilling flavours of tropical fruits and very ripe pear with a spicy back palate. Excellent texture. Clean finish with aftertaste of tropical fruits and spice. A very concentrated powerful example of the varietal that perhaps pushes the boundaries in terms of ripeness sacrificing some freshness and vibrancy. Drink now (2010).’ – 92 points, Nicks Wine Merchants, www.nicks.com.au

'Not many consumers have tasted Verdelho wines but they should. The 2010 The Violinist will appeal to consumers who want a mid-point between Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. Not overoaked nor overpowered by grapefruit on the palate, the 2010 Violinist is a crisp, refreshing wine which will be a favorite at a summer party or with fresh seafood. I enjoy The Violinist with brunch foods, clams on the half-shell or a expertly prepared grilled salmon. The 2010 vintage will be released in August and supply is once again short. The wine show hints of citrus, green apple, and pear. If you are not careful, you'll drink an entire bottle yourself.' - 90 points, Brian Pasch, www.corkd.com
