Pinks and Greens for GO!

















This year it is green, for GO! The Platter guide for 2011 has been released and Michael Fridjhon reviewed our wine very favourably.
It is always gratifying when well respected critics back up what I feel and say about my wines. I still maintain that seeing people enjoying my wine is one of the most rewarding aspects of the job but getting positive feedback in such a widely distributed publication is also fantastic.
Unfortunately most consumers (and an amazing number of retailers and restaurateurs) rely on the experts to tell them what to drink, and trawl through Platters searching for the pink patches (wines that get 4 or more stars). Hopefully the 4,5 stars we got for the Cabernet Sauvignon and 4 stars for the Sauvignon Blanc will introduce South Hill to a whole bunch of future South Hill devotees!
To all of you for whom this has not come as any surprise, give yourself a pat on the back secure in knowledge that you discovered us first!
Cheers
Sean
