93+ Points from The Wine Front
Campbell Mattison from The Wine Front has rated both of Steve Wiblin’s 2015 Rieslings at 93+ points.
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Riesling:
The wine is pitch perfect. Plenty of drive, thrust, acidity, flavour and length. Citrus, fennel seeds, blossomy notes, bath salts. It needs to settle, it’s been released slightly too young, but it’s on its way to a very good place.
Steve Wiblin’s Erin Eyes Pride of Erin Riesling:
Excellent intensity. It has a softness but the flavours really kick. Lime, lemon, rind, juice. Steely. Long. Laden with ripe citrus. Pretty simple for now but the quality is impressive … and the drinkability.

Two wines this year include our 2015 Erin Eyes Riesling blended across 3 top vineyards.
Also, our 2015 “Pride of Erin” Reserve Riesling. A single vineyard wine from a Penwortham micro climate that showed outstanding fruit on the vine and in the winery. High natural acid made this wine a stand out.

Gourmet Traveller – 2013 Erin Eyes Sangiovese
The June/July issue of Gourmet Traveller Magazine includes the 2013 Erin Eyes Sangiovese.
A full-bodied, smoothly textured wine which perhaps tastes more of Clare than of sangiovese with a lacing of mint over the raspberry aromas. The profile is long and supple with soft tannins underlying the
appealing flavour.
James Halliday’s Top Cellaring Selections – 2013 Erin Eyes Clare Valley Shiraz
Issue #22 of James Halliday’s Wine Companion Magazine includes the 2013 Erin Eyes Clare Valley Shiraz.
“One of those wines where you’re happy to be taken prisoner. It’s dense and luscious but well disciplined, with strict rules of tannin and lines of acid maintaining order amid the riot of black berried fruit.
Cedary oak has melted straight down intho the wine’s inky depths. Great value, all things considered. 14.5% alc.”
James Halliday

Huon Hooke reviews 2013 Erin Eyes Shiraz
Independent wine writer Huon Hooke has reviewed the 2013 Erin Eyes Shiraz.
What Huon thinks…
92 Points
“Deep red/purple colour, the aroma is plummy and dark cherry-like, chocolate and vanilla too. There are some oak-influenced characters. The acidity is fresh and keeps it lively, the finish is firm and tight and the wine promises to age well. Very good.”
