2017 Stargazer Tasmania Pinot Noir:

‘The perfume is decidedly spicy, pepper, clove, anise, sour cherry, tart plum. Beautiful. The palate rolls together similar flavours with a light smoky edge, but what I like best is the tannin profile, silty, firm, exceptionally long, pulling the wine tight and finishing with light sappy-chewy tugs. Texture is a forte. It’s a serious feeling wine done very well.’

2017 Stargazer Tasmania Chardonnay:

‘The very talented Samantha Connew is making some outstanding wines under her Stargazer label in Tasmania and this Coal Valley chardonnay is drinking superbly well on release with beautiful cool-climate balance. A chardonnay that resonates.’

Winsor Dobbin, CIAO MAGAZINE, 7 December 2018

2018 Stargazer Tasmania Riesling:

‘Beautiful expression of wild-fermented Tasmanian riesling from a single vineyard in the Coal River Valley near Hobart; scintillating floral, citrusy aromatics; shimmering and juicy on the tongue.’

Max Allen, AUSTRALIAN GOURMET TRAVELLER, March 2019

2018 Stargazer Tasmania Tupelo:

‘The aroma is intensely spicy and muscaty, as though there is some gewürztraminer in it (there is!). The palate is soft and round, fruity and rich, with a trace of sweetness but lovely clean acidity balancing it, the finish quite refreshing, lively and full of energy. Delicious wine.’

Huon Hooke, THE REAL REVIEW, 15 December 2018

2018 Stargazer Tasmania Rada:

‘It’s a highly drinkable red, the noir’s strawberry and red cherry mingled with meunier’s raspberry and more savoury spices. A portion of whole bunch pinot noir brings a touch of wood smoke to the nose. The palate is vibrant with the modest tannins controlling the enthusiastic fruit flavours and an acid ping to finish.’

Peter Bourne, GOURMET TRAVELLER WINE, Feb/Mar 2019
