What people are saying about Finestra Wines

Respected wine critic Gary Walsh from the Winefront has written to following reviews of our wines. Note: some reviews are for prior vintages:

dalla mia Finestra Cabernet Sauvignon: 2019 “Redcurrant, rosehip, a little cedar and mint. It’s a medium-bodied, classic old school Yarra Cabernet in style, and very good in that way. It’s a little sappy, with fine dusty tannin grip, fresh strawberry and assorted red fruits, feels well etched, if that makes any sense, and the finish is all red fruit and tobacco, with a gentle grip to close and good length. Lovely wine, and most likely better again with a few more years under its belt. 92+ points"

dalla mia Finestra Chardonnay 2022 "Nectarine, lime, nuts, a little cedar and spice. It’s glossy and gently viscous, with a saline and savoury flavour, bright and tight citrus acidity through creaminess, lime and grapefruit, an edge of tropical fruit too, some pith-like texture and grip, with an intense and juicy citrus finish of excellent length. A bit different, and very good in that way too. Excellent. 94 points"

dalla mia Finestra Shiraz 2022 "Blue and purple fruit, cracked pepper and meat, aromatic dried herbs. Medium-bodied, nutty and quite meaty, spicy too,  a gentle chewiness to tannin, with a fleshy boysenberry/black berry finish of good length. Plenty of personality. 93 points"
