2025 HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION REVIEWS AND SCORES:

Lake’s Folly 2022 Red Blend - Halliday ‘Top Rated Other Reds and Blends’  |  97 Points

“This wine is in a class of its own, personifying elegance, distinctiveness and originality. It defies conventional stereotypes, and thankfully so! ...Few wineries have such a powerful and consistent style signature, and for this, it deserves high praise. Unashamedly medium-bodied …It is graceful and has finesse and clarity in a way that few wines do. The oak handling has been exceptional, and the tannins are near-silent but ever-present. And all this in a challenging year. Bravo.”    Toni Paterson.

Lake’s Folly 2023 Hill Block Chardonnay  |  96 Points

“Made from 100% estate-grown fruit …The sheer intensity of this wine sets it apart from other chardonnays in the valley. It is a youthful wine laden with bold, delicious, peachy fruit underpinned by grapefruity freshness. Oak plays a significant part in the style, with the sweet, nutmeg tones in harmony with the ripe fruit flavours. Serve, well chilled, in a sizeable chardonnay-specific glass and watch the wine unfold in all its glorious, sweet-fruited magnificence.”   Toni Paterson.

Lake’s Folly 2022 Hill Block Chardonnay - SOLD OUT -   |  95 Points

“Made from 100% estate-grown grapes, this is a traditional style of chardonnay with layers of flavour and a creamy mouthfeel, for which there are many fans. High-quality oak encircles the ripe nectarine, intense grapefruit and preserved lemon core with heady vanilla and butterscotch tones. The style reflects the cool vintage and is compelling with its palate length and drive… .”   Toni Paterson.
