Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion "It kick starts with some tropical fruit flavours – the limes, the passionfruit and pith, the sugar snaps and feijoa – then ventures into a textural, savoury domain. Creaminess across the palate, lemon curd and oak spices at play, the new oak adding a tad more volume."

James Suckling "Lemongrass, lime peel and green apples on the nose. Crisp, clean and crunchy with bright fruit and a medium body."

Ray Jordan, Wine Pilot "One of the earliest examples of this now famous Margaret River blend and it is still one of the best. Oodles of punchy tropical fruit with a lash of citrus and a sprinkle of herbs. There’s passionfruit and a subtle creamy mid-palate texture that lifts this blend from the humdrum. These wines have tended to age really well in the medium term. Excellent." (2022 vintage)


Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Very lifted and fragrant lime/lemon and floral aromas, very attractive indeed, the palate delicate and restrained, a bit short and restrained, but what's there is attractive." (2022 vintage)

Falstaff "So vibrant on the nose with enticing aromas of grapefruit and fresh grass. The palate continues that theme in refreshing, mouthwatering style. Although unoaked, there's plenty of texture and substance to this wine, yet it doesn't feel overworked, just the perfect refreshment for a summer lunch." (2021 vintage)

Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion "The late Bruce Tomlinson established Lenton Brae in ’82 with wife Jeanette. Bruce, an architect, designed the now heritage-listed winery. In time, it became a highly regarded producer of elegant wines. .
