Pemberton

Chardonnay

Fabulous example of what can be done with sparkling wine in WA. This is outstanding and a mighty follow-up to the 2016. It's a combination of pinot noir and chardonnay from Pemberton and spent five years in bottle before release. Intense citrus, bready aromas and gentle vanillin character with a subtle meaty red fruit influence. Palate drives deep and long...

Pemberton

Sparkling

This is a pinot noir chardonnay blend from Pemberton. The aroma has an interesting combination of red fruits with a slightly delicate floral citrus note. The palate is where this begins to do its work. There's depth and complexity here, all held with control and linear finesse. The power is evident immediately as it threads through to a sustained long...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is chardonnay from Pemberton off gravelly soils that prove ideal for delivering a more restrained sparkling wine friendly fruit which in this case is a mix of Dijon clones. This vintage is so precise and steely with tremendous power and palate intensity. It gets 4 years on lees and 10% new oak. The cheeky aim is to make it...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This wine is always kept for a minimum of five years before release. This is a thoroughly exquisite, delicate, refined sparkling chardonnay sourced from Pemberton. There’s a lovely light lemony-brioche combination on the nose. The palate is so delicate but with excellent flavour intensity. Fine chalky acidity and a little lemony zip all contribute to a racy, long, precise finish....

Pemberton

White Blend

A blend of pinot noir and chardonnay sourced from Pemberton is the basis for this exceptional example of a Western Australian sparkling wine. Sittella has been a leader in this style for many years, and this exquisitely crafted wine is a perfect example of why. Lemon meringue, game, some red fruits and a little warm brioche on the nose provide...

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

Here is a wine that can proudly take WA sparkling wine to the world. It’s a pinot noir dominant blend with chardonnay that is aged for a minimum of five years before release. The fruit comes from vineyards in Pemberton, a region that is so well suited to sparkling wine. The aromas have a light flinty stone fruit and cereal...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is such a delightful, delicate, and engaging sparkling wine, made from chardonnay. The aromas are quite floral, with a slightly smoky citrus note. The palate, though displaying that degree of delicacy, has sustained power through to a long finish, with a crisp citrus-like tang and some lovely autolysis-like characters. Excellent wine.

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

The minerally purity of Pemberton sauvignon blanc is on full display with this very tidy, young savvy. Typically bursting with tropical fruits, a little gooseberry, guava influence, and some bright passionfruit. The palate is precise, keen, and flavoursome, with a long, crunchy, refreshing finish.

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

Fresh, crisp and alive with all manner of tropical fruit dusted with a light herbaceousness. Typical notes of gooseberry and passionfruit on the nose, while the palate delivers with a crunchy zing from the bright refreshing acidity. Terrific summer quaffing.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

An excellent wine that delivers a super wine at a very good price. Has beautiful aromas of light fig and creamy nectarine with a creme brulee richness. The palate balances concentrated stone fruit with some nice savoury citrus nuances. A little nutty complexity adds to the finish. Neat little wine.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

One of the best chardonnays from Smithbrook in recent years. Really nails it in every way. Immediately opens with a mix of stone fruit and cutting lemon tang merging with a roasted almond character. The palate is intense and penetrating, with the support of a fine persistent acidity. Has a savoury minerally finish to complete a very tidy wine. Starting...

Pemberton

Merlot

A plush medium bodied merlot. Red berry and fruit cake aromas with a little prune juice addition. The palate is soft, supported with fine chalky tannins and understated vanillin oak. Rounded and fruit driven. Ideal for current drinking. The extra year has introduced a layer of cedary and slightly spicy complexity.

Pemberton

Merlot

I have to say, this is one of the better merlots yet released from Smithbrook. It opens with a lovely mix of red berries and a subtle fruitcake complexity, with just a little more blue-fruit character, which is fairly typical of this region. It's medium-bodied, as you'd expect, with a plush, fruit-driven palate, balanced by fine, slightly chalky tannins, and...

Pemberton

Nebbiolo

A slightly more linear and firmer wine than the more opulent 2018. Spicy dusty dry earth characters on the nose cut through aromas of dark cherry and subtle blue fruits. The palate is tightly wound with a typical firm thread of tannin creating focus and direction. A linear and slightly angular wine with the dry savoury finish perfect for all...

Pemberton

Nebbiolo

Medium-bodied wine that expresses much of the essential character of this Piedmont variety. Aromas of raspberry and mulberry with a slight minerally character. Bright floral notes add further aromatic life. The palate is still firmly held with the varietal firm tannins holding a line through to the long finish. Will benefit from some cellaring time.

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

A vibrant expression of Pemberton pinot noir displaying loads of bright red fruits. Cherry and strawberry notes dominate on the nose, providing an immediately appealing opening. The palate delivers with poise and power with the support of excellent fruit intensity and fine firmish tannins. Has an earthy mushroom complexity adding to the primary fruit flavours.

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

Not surprising that a vineyard originally set up to make pinot should make some pretty good pinot. Lots of red fruits, cherry and strawberry on the nose, but then there's a little underlay of truffly, mushroom-like character. The palate is completely seamless, medium-bodied, and with a touch of spice and berry working together. Tannins are fine, the oak lightly applied....

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

A vibrant and bouncy fruit-driven pinot from this excellent season. Dominated by red fruits on the nose, with a little cherry and strawberry, but then a subtle mushroomy, funky, earthy character intervenes, creating complexity. The palate is soft and smooth and medium to light-bodied. There's a spicy, vibrant red berry character that really lifts and sustains through to the finish....

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

Light bodied and thoroughly delicious pinot noir. Opens with an earthy, sweet strawberry and dark cherry combo on the nose. Impressive palate with glazed cherry and subtle earthy minerally characters merging. The tannins are fine and slightly chalky with the oak well integrated. The firm spine gives purpose to drive through to the finish.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is one of the best releases of this sparkling wine. It's made from 100% chardonnay from down at Pemberton and prior to disgorging spent 24 months on lees in bottle. Has a light creamy mousse with a lifted fresh baked bread and lemony melon character. A light citrus tang lifts the palate through to a clean long finish.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This has been a wine marked with consistently high quality. It's made in a largely traditional way, in the méthode traditionnelle. And it's kept on lees for about 24 months before disgorgement. In that time, it's started to pick up some nice, oatmeal-like, brioche-like complexity, while still retaining the essentially crisp, lemony fruit. It's got a fine, lingering palate. This...

Pemberton

White Varietal

When it's made in this style, gewurztraminer can be quite exquisite and beautiful. In this case, it's both. Comes from the Channybearup vineyard in Pemberton and shows such wonderful lifted fruit characters for a dessert style wine. Has that little hint of ginger marmalade, ripe apricot and a subtle lychee nuance that's typical of traminer. The palate delivers with tremendous...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

If you’re looking for a little more weight and intensity in your chardonnays, then this baby might be right up your alley. Made using the clay cement ovoid tank, which forces lees through a vortex, bringing a degree of opulence and richness to the palate. Rich butterscotch and slightly savoury characters merge seamlessly, creating a wonderful layered complexity.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

A delightful example of how good chardonnay was in Pemberton during this warm season. It is light-bodied, with citrus, melon and grapefruit on the nose, lifted by a hint of jasmine. The palate reveals melon fruit dominance with good flavour intensity and length. Oak is understated and subtle, but important in the final composition. A really nice current drinking wine.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

A single-vineyard pinot grigio sourced from Pemberton, where the cool climate suits the style and variety perfectly. It shows primary apple and pear crumble characters, while extended time on lees adds additional texture rarely seen in this variety. The result is a wine that is immensely pleasurable and thoroughly delicious—one of the best examples of pinot grigio I have tasted.

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

Sourced from Pemberton vineyards in an outstanding vintage. There's so much to like about this wine, from the ripe cherry and strawberry aromas through to the palate, where the warm flesh of pinot is wrapped around a firm core of fine, chalky tannins and neatly judged oak. A spicy, savoury note carries through the finish, while the brightness and energy...
