“The 2022s have a lot of energy and liveliness,” says Sebastian Fürst at the tasting. ”Above all, the wines don't taste like a hot vintage like the 2018s [did]. The reds have a beautiful, ripe body, but they are also lively and full of tension, similar to 2019.”

Stanton & Killeen featured in the Guardian. "...Still, it’s always refreshing to come across an Australian wine that shows off the abilities of varieties from other parts of the wine world, such as the glorious mix of lime-tangy acidity and tropical fruit fleshiness in Stanton & Killeen’s Victorian take on the Portuguese variety, arinto."
Rutherford Hill Merlot featured in Matthew Jukes Money Week. "...Michael poured this wine for me, and the transformation felt complete as the flavours were the most impactful and memorable at this Californian gathering. If you have, like me, given up on finding stunning and affordable Napa Merlot, then think again..."
