“Beechworth and Yarra Valley in a congress of chardonnay. The chardonnay ferments naturally and then spends time in older oak barrels, on its lees, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Just fermented chardonnay here. Nice styling. This punches way above its weight.

Complex, mineral laden, savoury. That’s three words that jostle with the ripe apple and faint citrus fruit characters. Some will find the yeasty, nutty characters a touch much in their chardonnay, but then there will be those who kowtow to this wild, quite rich and yet satisfying expression. It’s arrogantly at the other end of what Australia’s ‘fine wine canon’ for chardonnay is now (linear, racy, skeletal), and I love it for that. I love that this conversation and potentially lunatic drinking”

“Gary Mills' naturally made, terroir-driven wines are some of Australia's most interesting… This is the new face of Australian wine. Wines from distinguished sites, naturally made, with personality, elegance and a sense of place.” - Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com

“I buy them, because I love drinking them, but also because I love pulling them out when occasion arises to change someone’s perception. There’s a brilliance to them, and brilliance is at its best when it has a clear use. Jamsheed has burned itself away from the ruck and is now a leading producer.” - Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front

"Gary Mill’s pure, detailed Syrahs and irresistibly quirky Harem series have become touchstone examples of the Victorian wine zeitgeist. The benefits of his bold, non-interventionist approach—the high-definition clarity, enigmatic nuance and crackling energy—are evident across each wine under the Jamsheed label. 

Jamsheed’s Syrah wines, drawn from single-vineyard sites across Victoria, precisely capture each plot’s regional idiosyncrasies—seemingly in three dimensions. Gary Mills is justifiably renowned for these spine-tingling Syrah’s - even the international press corps have been making comparisons with the great names of the northern Rhône. Yet Mills is also a dab hand with many other varieties, producing exceptional Roussanne and Riesling under the Jamsheed label and a wide range of styles under Harem." - Bibendum
