Huon Hooke
Prolific Australian wine reviewer for Fairfax Media and The Real Review
Vintage 2021
“Deep, bold purple-red colour; aromas of sweet ripe black fruits, blackberry and mulberry, vanilla/chocolate too, the palate full bodied and fruit-sweet at the core, then some astringency comes in thanks to acidity and tannin—but it's all in balance. Plenty happening here. A promising shiraz that will reward patient cellaring.” 95 points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review

“Pete Schell's Bête Noir is a shiraz composition from a number of Barossa parishes: Barossa , Moppa, Moculta, Eden Valley, High Eden, Bethany and the Eastern Foothills, usually around 35% whole bunches and aged in a range of French oak formats for 20 months. There is a beautifully pure, stony sense of calm and detail to this wine, with composed blackberry and cherry fruits, deep spice and meaty facets. It has brightness and clarity, not at the expense of fruit depth. Bright acidity provides the pulse and tannins akin to powdered granite give savoury support. It's great drinking.” 95 points, Dave Brookes, Wine Companion
