Judi & Barrie (and their 3 children) have done amazing things in such a short period of time. From the outset, they wanted to produce wines that were not the “Aussie” norm, and more a reflection of this unique property. Elegant and well defined fruit flavors, and complex secondary characters, rather than just weight and power, is what they have always strived for. Their wines exhibit wonderful aromatics, great elegance and a magical earthy/dusty terroir character. Robert Parker picked up on this the first time he tried the wines. There is something quite unique happening at “Isolation Ridge”.
