A brilliant modern take on Shiraz.” 96 points -DMWP

Vintage 2016: “Dona meaning ‘the gift’ in Latin. The bright, clear crimson-purple hue and the light to medium body suggest whole bunch fermentation of at least some of the fruit, all adding up to a wine that is ready to enjoy right now or in the next few years.” 93 points – James Halliday
