Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

It's a slightly firmer and more angular cabernet than previously which can be attributed to the vintage. Yet it retains all that is good in classy Margaret River cabernet. Delivers a generous and powerful statement of blackcurrant and leafy black olive with a dollop of dark chocolate. The tannins are quite chalky and bring a degree of control to create...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Smooth, seamless, elegant, refined. You get the picture. A cabernet of such poise and polish, yet one with great power from this generous powerful vintage in Margaret River. Opens with a salvo of blackcurrant, dark chocolate and black olive fanned with a bay leaf and oyster shell minerality. The palate delivers with some presence, yet it does so with restraint...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is an excellent wine that is predominantly cabernet with tiny amounts of the aromatic cab franc, and the colour and tannins from the petit verdot. It's a deep, dark red colour. The nose is quite beautiful, with dominant blackcurrant, bay leaf, and olive tapenade, with a nice lift of oyster shell minerality. The palate is quite sublime, with deep,...

Margaret River

Shiraz

This takes the Lifestyle shiraz up a notch or two. It introduces more savoury dark fruit characters which takes it through to another level in complexity and intrigue. There's a gravelly and slightly ironstone character that complements the juicer red fruits while a chalky tannin influence holds its line through to the finish.

Margaret River

Shiraz

A most impressive example of Margaret River shiraz benefiting from this great year. It’s highly perfumed, so you’re getting into it early. Aromas of spicy dark fruit with a lift of mulberry and juicy jubey confectionary characters. The palate is dense and super intense with savoury element running deep along with a thread of licorice.

Margaret River

Shiraz

The colour is a deep red, inky black almost, and it suggests there's plenty of weight. Fruit concentration is powerful. Concentrated plums, savoury notes, a little pepper, and even a trace of bonox. The palate is thick and dense with a nice lift of red fruits, providing a nice touch. It's smooth and seamless with a lovely velvety texture, and...

Margaret River

Shiraz

There are loads of concentrated fruit characters on the nose, and you're immediately struck with a raspberry plummy mix, a little cedar, and some light dusting of white pepper. The palate is generous and plush. Yet it presents with a velvety smooth suppleness thanks to its fine tannin and gentle oak infusion. It's a most stylish and poised example of...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A delightfully friendly medium-bodied blend. Reveals bright red berry on the nose with a little leafy minerally character. The vibrant fruits are supported by slightly chalky tannins and a little oak. Has a nice energy about it.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A consistently strong performer, especially with their reds. This is a terrific wine from the exceptional 23 vintage. Shows the rich opulence of the vintage with the firm thread of dark fruits and firm minerally tannins of the region. Cleverly managed oak and fine firmish tannins hold the core together to a long finish. Perfectly balanced.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is predominantly cabernet, but small bits of petit verdot, cabernet franc, and malbec have played their role in completing an excellent wine for drinking in the medium term. Colour is deep and dark red, and the nose displays a Margaret River combination of blackcurrant, bay leaf, a little black olive, and fruitcake. The palate is medium-bodied but with good...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a lovely wine and certainly delivers great value. The dominant cabernet has been supported with a little petit verdot, cab franc, and malbec. And the oak was kept to about 15% new. It all heightens the varietal aromatics of floral, black currant, with some subtle plummy influences and a light edge of bay leaf. The palate is quite...

Margaret River

Shiraz

This ticks all the boxes when you're looking for value for money in a Margaret River shiraz. In fact, it shows that this variety should never be overlooked from Margs. Spicy plummy fruit characters on the nose and palate are boosted and complemented with a restrained use of oak. Quite simply a lovely drink to get your gums around.

Margaret River

Shiraz

This is a perfect medium bodied red wine for drinking quite young. The local Italian bistro beckons. Ripe spicy and slightly pepper plummy fruit on the nose with just a trace of licorice. The palate is smoothly integrated with the natural tannins and light touch of oak bringing it to life.

Margaret River

Shiraz

This is a real crowd-pleaser. It's sumptuous and lush, which you would expect from this warm vintage, and loaded with bright red fruits, showing a slightly raspberry nuance working with the more traditional plummy, spicy, and slightly peppery characters.

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is high class cabernet from a very good year. There’s real power here, but then there is an effortless stylishness that makes it so much better. Leafy blackcurrant, black olive and graphite with a little cedar on the nose. The palate is bright with great energy. Concentrated deep fruit flavours merge seamlessly with the firm chalky tannins and ample,...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

You're moving into rarefied air with this cabernet from the outstanding '23 vintage. Around 91% cabernet but there's about 7.5% cab franc and a little petit verdot, and I think that cab franc's just introduced that slightly lifted perfumed note. The aroma captures so much of Margaret River cabernet with its blackcurrant, bay leaf, and black olive notes, a little...

Frankland River

Mourvèdre

This is just the second release of this varietal. It is a marvelous expression of mourvedre superimposed with the Frankland regional style. The earthy and slightly rustic tones are evident as they work into the grainy medium-bodied fruit. A distinctive iron filings ferrous character is part varietal and partly regional. Super exciting development.

Frankland River

Syrah

A wine that shows the evolution of both style and quality of this now well-established WA syrah. It now has the addition of clone 470 in addition to the original Houghton clone from when it was planted in 1988. A small amount of viognier and mourvedre is also used. The wine was matured for 14 months in a 3500-litre French...

Cabernet Sauvignon

Bright elegant and stylish. A brilliant wine with fruit that soars from the glass. High end red fruits with a minerally chalky tannins edge. It’s super concentrated but the winemaking has brought it to life with its energy and vibrancy, strong features. Fine chalky tannins thread seamlessly through the firm palate. A very young wine that needs so much time...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is the most stylish expression of cabernet, which has about 5% malbec, 5% petit verdot, 3% cab franc, and 2% merlot. So it's a classic Bordeaux blend, and shows elements of that sinewy, minerally tannin profile that you might expect. Nice dark fruits on the nose with a lift of bay leaf and a distinct oyster shell character. The...

Cabernet Sauvignon

There's a pronounced oyster shell minerality bursting through supported by a...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A thoroughly beautiful medium bodied cabernet starting to move into its best drinking zone. The extra time in bottle has allowed those subtle leathery, library book characters to merge with the primary red and black fruit characters. It is still firm as you would expect from this vintage, but the flesh and richness of the fruit balances it perfectly. Dark...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A slightly lighter bodied wine reflecting this vintage. Captures a mix of red fruits with typical black currant. The tight core of oak and fine chalky tannins holds things to a very long finish. Just starting to develop a leathery secondary character.

Margaret River

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Comes off the back of the powerful and opulent 2018 vintage and shows the influence of this cooler season. Has more of that bay leaf and black olive mix cutting through the varietal blackcurrant flavours. It is a controlled and focused wine that will continue to evolve.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A pleasing medium-bodied cabernet from this small vintage which stretched resources at the beginning of Covid. Has more red fruit than normal with a lift of cedary oak. The tannins are fine and chalky while the oak has been astutely delivered. Balanced and poised. A wine that would seem to suit short-term cellaring.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A delightfully elegant cabernet that captures much of the gracefulness of this vintage. Plummy blackcurrant and cedar on the nose with a faint lift of bay leaf. It is elegant and poised with its medium-bodied palate extending effortlessly to a long finish. Tight core of chalky tannin and oak harness it through to the extended finish. Nice wine.

Great Southern

Shiraz

One of the more refined and elegantly structured shiraz from Galafrey suggesting the strong influence of the season. Displays more cracked black pepper over the dusty dry earth nuances flecking the punchier red fruits. The medium weight palate has a silky-smooth integration with fine grained oak and fine slinky tannins.

Mount Barker

Cabernet Sauvignon

This was a very warm year, and yet vineyards like this one produced some high-quality fruit. Loaded with black fruits, floral notes and a slightly spicy character evident initially on the nose. The palate is generous but medium-bodied, with good depth of flavour and a sustained, long finish. A subtle mix of blackcurrant and olive tapenade on the finish adds...

Mount Barker

Shiraz

Without doubt, one of the very best shiraz to come off this superb little vineyard, which was planted back in 1985. The aroma shows lovely spicy dark chocolate and ripe plummy notes, with some deeper black fruit evident. The palate is seamlessly integrated, with those spices emerging and the fine chalky tannins and subtle oak integration carrying through to the...

Margaret River

Shiraz

The fruit was sourced from Margaret River, and it's resulted in a wine of suppleness, plush fruits and tremendous generosity delivered with medium weight. A combination of hand plunging and basket pressing with maturation in French and older American oak for 15 months has contributed to a wine that really excels. Spicy plummy dark chocolate mulberry with a little licorice...

The palate is seamlessly woven with chalky tannins and a little oak. Flavours of dark chocolate ad plum emerge as it opens up.

Margaret River

Red Blend

Interesting thing is that many of these '21 vintage wines are only just starting to hit their straps. Took a little while to emerge from a closed cocoon of fruit and structural influence, but this wine's come together really neatly. The intensity of the black currant, leafy cabernet is evident immediately, but then the other influences add a lift of...

Margaret River

Red Blend

Cabernet is the dominant variety here, but the rest make important contributions to both the perfumed aromas and the depth and structure of the palate. It was a year producing excellent fruit quality, which is captured by the intense aromas of blackcurrant and dark chocolate with a fragrant lift of bay leaf. The palate is super concentrated with firm minerally...
