James Halliday’s TOP 100 2022; 97 Points“seems to have the secret of eternal youth, poised on the midpoint of citrus (grapefruit) and stone fruit (white peach). High quality French oak has been absorbed into the fabric of the wine” Decanter World Wine Awards 2023; 95 Points“Youthful nose with aromas of candied fruit, lemon curd, sage and toasty oak hints. Lovely texture and poise, silky and dense” Halliday Wine Companion 2024, Dave Brooks; 94 Points“pure aromas of juicy white peach and citrus fruits. Hints of soft spice and nougat, lights wafts of struck match, marzipan and white flowers too. Tightly coiled with scintillating acidity and a wash of citrus fruits and oatmeal on the long persistent finish.” International WINE Challenge London 2022; 94 Points“Cool sleek perfumed green apple aromas, with delicious palate of lemon tart, banana and yoghurt and a touch of toast” ABOUT DAWSON JAMES “Wine that is made for love, not profit” - James Halliday. Dawson James was born of a friendship and winemaking partnership between Peter Dawson and Tim James. With a collective experience of more than 80 vintages, the opportunity of making world class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay drew them to Tasmania. The cool and dry climate, hungry soils and 30 + year-old vines grow grapes with great depth of flavour and intensity of character. Our winemaking philosophy is based on picking fruit with a natural balance of flavour and acidity. A very simple approach to winemaking allows fruit quality to shine through.
