This is an exceptional cabernet for the price: full-bodied, briny iodine/sea salt-maritime, black olive smeared and pumped with crème de cassis before a drying clasp of bay leaf provides a welcome savory note to the finish. The impression, a touch of sweet extract juxtaposed against a herbal tone and quality oak. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

93/100 - Ned Goodwin, James Suckling Wine Reviews

From a 65yo vineyard at Willunga. Matured for 14 months in French oak, 10% new. It's fragrant and frisky with boysenberry and light blackcurrant flavours sliding into sweet, woodsy spice and cedar. It has a gummy softness, floral notes and a general prettiness, though it also has requisite depth.

A Hidden Gem with Heart!
Our VIP tour had a fantastic experience hosted by winemaker Matt Wenk and his wife Trish. Their knowledge, warmth, and passion for wine really shined through. The wines were absolutely top quality — each with character and depth — and the platter was generous and beautifully matched. A must visit! Our guests were blown away !
Thanks again for having us & we will definitely be back!

The classics are done magnificently. I bought a mixed dozen to try a few varieties. If you’re after a great everyday red for dinner or with friends the La Grenouille is a great red. The “S” and Magic Dirt are divine. I will be ordering another dozen now.

I recently had the pleasure of tasting the 2021 Saperavi from Smidge Wines, and it truly exceeded my expectations. This wine offers a fantastic balance of rich, dark fruit flavors with an intriguing mix of earthy and spicy notes. Its deep color and robust structure make it a standout choice for any wine enthusiast.

What really impressed me was the personal touch included with my order—a handwritten message from the team. It added an extra layer of warmth to the experience and made it clear that Smidge Wines values its customers.

Highly recommend this wine and the thoughtful service from Smidge Wines. I look forward to trying more of their exceptional offerings!
