2022 Stargazer Palisander Vineyard Pinot Noir:

‘The hue and depth are typical; this is Tasmania speaking, and an introduction to what is a celestial pinot noir. It’s pure and refined, with wild strawberry, pomegranate and mesmerising red berries of field and forest, all with spices to boot. 98 points

James Halliday, THE WEEKEND AUSTRALIAN, 18 November 2023

2022 Stargazer Coal River Valley & Derwent Valley Chardonnay:

‘Light straw with aromas of lemon, grapefruit, nashi pear and white peach with wafts of struck match, soft spice, almond paste, white flowers and stone. Quite concentrated on the palate yet reigned in beautifully by the vivid, stony acidity. Finishes long and sapid with lipsmacking intensity and a lovely textural sway.’

Dave Brookes, HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION, 2 October 2023

2022 Stargazer Palisander Vineyard Riesling:

‘Pretty aromas of brown lime juice, guava, tangelo, mineral and white flowers. Delicate, focused and fine on the palate. The flavours are driven by a core of tangy, pithy citrus, nashi pear and ginger. The acidity is punchy and crunchy and there’s a tickle of phenolic grip delivering texture and mouth-feel

2023 Stargazer Coal River Valley Riesling:

‘Lifted and complex aromas of lemon pith, feijoa, talc, wet stone and white lily. Quite luscious, generously flavoured and focused on the palate. Lashings of tangello, lime, just-ripe nectarine and bath salts are doing their thing. The length is impressive and there’s texture, cut and punch from the racy acidity’

2023 Stargazer Tasmania Tupelo:

‘I dig these Alsatian-style ‘gestalt’ blends. All varieties involved reporting for duty and getting on admirably for our drinking pleasure. This year’s makeup is 41/28/26/5% pinot gris/pinot blanc/riesling/gewürztraminer. It’s all slinky and textural (hello eight hours of skin contact) and the shimmering acidity draws everything into line nicely. Think citrus, yellow plum, white flowers, soft spice and crushed stone and you’re on the track. Just a joy to drink.’

2023 Stargazer Tasmania Rada:

Bright and crunchy acidity on the tongue. Light fruits with bitter herb undertones all meld together to make a light bodied delight. Great length and precision across the tongue.
