"The establishment date of Turkey Flat is given as 1990 but it might equally have been 1870 (or thereabouts), when the Schulz family purchased the Turkey Flat vineyard, or 1847, when the vineyard was first planted - to the very old shiraz that still grows there today and the 8ha of equally old grenache. Plantings have since expanded significantly, now comprising shiraz (24ha), grenache (10.5ha), cabernet sauvignon (5.9ha), mourvedre (3.7ha), and smaller plantings of marsanne, viognier and dolcetto." James Halliday
"An excellent release from Turkey Flat from the excellent '21 vintage. It's a purely fruited and elegant wine, showing blackberry, blueberry, satsuma plum, bay leaf, cured meats and nicely integrated oak elements. Excellent fruit depth and harmony on the palate, with ripe, silty tannins and a seam of lacy acidity providing freshness and drive. Long finish, too. Very nice indeed." 95pts | Dave Brooks | Halliday Wine Companion
"New practices, including applications of organic mulch under-vine, organic fertilisers mid-row and a strong emphasis on cover crop management have all become integral in our quest to restore soil health." (Winery)
