Scion features in Gourmet Traveller Aug/Sept 2011. Words by Campbell Mattinson:
Unless it's a weekend appointment, you'll need to make a booking at Scion Vineyard but you're likely to regret it should you do.
Scion is a new star of the Rutherglen region. Janice Milhinch and her son Rowland only started Scion ("from bare earth") a decade ago, though they are part of the extended Morris clan. From the start they've been keen to pay homage to the traditions of Rutherglen wine, with their own personal twists. Less alcohol, more elegance is Janice's way iof describing their goal. There is a general thoughfulness to the Scion wines that is difficult to define, but easy to taste in the wines. I found myself swooning; I even liked the off-dry Fleur table white made with muscat grapes.
2008 Scion Durif.
Intense, elegant and lengthy. A lip-smackingly delicious, high quality, regional hero of red. It tastes of iodine, tar, roses and cedery French oak. There is nothing ungainly or overdone about this; it's a wine of pure, oozing quality. A great addition to Rutherglen.

Jeni Port rates our 2008 Sweet Durif as top fortified wine for 2010!
Taken from Epicure, The Age 14-12-10
"If Australian fortifieds are not only to survive but thrive, they have to become relevant to a younger generation. Scion Vineyard from Rutherglen is doing that with a range of new styles led by its 2008 sweet durif, which is boisterously sweet, showing the fun side of a grape that normally frightens grown men with tannic ferocity."
