2017 Other Side Of The Moon Grenache / Shiraz
"An estate-grown 62/38% blend crushed and destemmed, co-fermented in open pots, hand-plunged, 8 days on skins, matured for 15 months in French oak (30% new). Light, bright crimson hue; grenache provides a cascade of red berry flavours, shiraz and oak persistent tannins. The only question is the price - too low! 92 points." - James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au, August 2019
"Deepish red/purple colour with a brackeny, dried herb aroma, which is subdued but appealing. The wine is soft and savoury in the mouth, medium-bodied at most, with soft, fine texture and light, powdery tannins. Nice wine." - 89 points, Huon Hooke, therealreview.com Sept 2018
2016 Other Side Of The Moon Grenache / Shiraz
"Spicy and lightly fruity medium-bodied blended red. Lifted red berry aromas with a hint of spicy cedary oak. Palate has a lovely red berry confectionary flavour with chalky tannins. Its had a reasonable amount of new French oak but it sits in the background to deliver a beautifully expressive wine. 91 points" - Ray Jordan, The West Australian, 11th January 2018

2012 Other Side Of The Moon Grenache / Shiraz
"This 75/25% blend of Grenache and Shiraz spent 16 months in French oak (25% new). The fragrant, spicy bouquet has notes of red cherry and raspberry, the palate seamlessly picking up the same fruit expression, then adding a twist of French oak and subtle tannins. 250 dozen made - 89 points" Halliday Wine Companion Sept 2015
2011 Other Side Of The Moon Grenache / Shiraz
- Listed in James Halliday's Top 100, The Weekend Australian, November 2014
"Estate-grown and made, this 75% / 25% Grenache shiraz blend is (surprisingly) Rosily's second label. It spent 16 months in French oak (25% new), and the hue is still star-bright, clear and crimson; the bouquet and palate continue the surprise with delicious cherry and raspberry fruit supported by a trio of acidity, fine tannins and integrated oak. Exceptional, unexpected bargain - 95 points" James Halliday, Wine Companion Magazine Oct / Nov 2014

2010 Other Side Of The Moon Grenache / Shiraz
"Light, transparent red-purple; an interesting wine, with varietal red fruits to the fore, along with a touch of spice, and more structure than many eastern states equivalents (McLaren Vale honourably excepted). Grenache, with a splash of shiraz - 89 points" James Halliday Companion online - Published on 14 Nov 2012
