Good Wine Guide 2012

Galafrey wines was featured in the lastest Good Wine Guide by Nick Stock.

Our 2010 Riesling was featured as

The best of the rest and Best value wine wine under $25

here's what he said....

This fragrant and concentrated dry-grown Riesling has intense citrus fruit aromas, lemons and limes, a whiff of talc and a thread of spice- showing impressive purity. The palate's crisp, intense and dry, with plenty of pure lemon and lime fruit flavours; scintillaying acidity, long and pure. 94 points.

he also wrote a solid review of our 2010 Muller

Muller Thurgau was hailed by the New Zealand industry a while back as a pre Sauvignon Blanc white wine success story. It's a bit of a trainspotter's wine these days, exhibiting ripe tropicial fruitn and crunchy melon flavours; quite fleshy texture too. An easy glass on its own or with something spicey to eat. 90 points.

not bad reviews for this little winemaker!!!

Of all the Rieslings I opened tonight, this is the one that I'd be choosing formy cellar. It's in a bit of a development hole perhaps, but the depth andgenuine intensity is there in spades. A real Riesling, no question about it.

It's not offering all that much on the nose though, save for a whiff of petrolthat blows off with air, with the rest of the bouquet still very much 'underdevelopment'. The palate builds slowly too, all coiled citrus and some honeyedgreen apple fruit. As it travels (and with more airtime) things flesh outthough, giving that lovely blend of generous slightly honeyed lemon/grapefruitfruit characters and prominent acidity which Great Southern rizzas are knownfor. A proper persistant, dry and lengthy natural finish again signals thiswines class and drinkability.

I'd be waiting a few more years before attacking this again, but no questioningthe attraction. Good indeed. 17.7/92+

An independent review on wine

Galafreyâ€“Cabernet Sauvignon â€“ Reserve â€“ 2001(17.6). Lovely developed fruit here. Dense, with mint and a touch of eucalypt.The palate is textured, dense and leathery. The ripe fruit is in the black fruits spectrum with mulberry and plum. Good length and mouth-feel. A nicely aging wine that is currently available from the winery.

Galafrey â€“Cabernet â€“ 2005 (16.9). An interesting wine that is a bit old fashioned in style with dusty,earthy fruit. Opens nicely, and drinks well.

Galafrey -Chardonnay - Reserve - 2008 (17.4+) Fresh, with lemon zest, peach and topical notes on the nose. The palate has lovely cashew nut fruit and a mealy texture.

A touch of viscosity from lees adds interest.Well made and sure to improve with a year or two in bottle.

Galafrey -Semillon - Reserve - 2009 (17+). Rounded,generous and mouth-filling, with plenty of grassy fruit. There is a touch of viscosity and good length. Fresh fruit to close, this will get better. (I accidentally slipped this into the line-up, and it did very well considering).

Galafrey -Chardonnay - Unwooded - 2009 (16.8). Almost sauvignon blanc-like, this is so fresh and tropical. Uncomplicated, refreshing and lively on the palate, this is a great alternative to a SSB. Bring on spring.
