Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a significant departure, heralding a new era for Margaret River and Voyager Estate cabernet. The decision has been made to release the estate cabernets only when they have 10 years of age. This is a re-release of a wine sent out to the public some years ago, but it shows the intent to make some serious, mature cabernet...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Silky smooth, velvety palate is a feature of this exceptional cabernet. It's only just starting to reveal its qualities. Leafy black olive and subtle oyster shell minerality on the nose work neatly with the lively red and black fruit combination. Fine chalky tannins and a smooth introduction of oak have harnessed the palate and focussed it to a very long...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A firm yet poised and elegantly structured cabernet from this very early vintage. There’s plenty of lively fruit in there with slightly leafy black fruits dominant. It opens up as it breathes. There is slightly more tannin and a little bit of grip in there. Chalky with a brick dust character complementing a nice perfume and lightness on the nose....

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This is largely cabernet, with a contribution from merlot and a few other Bordeaux varieties. It is a very stylish and elegantly structured wine that captures everything good about the vintage. The aromatics are high and perfumed, and there are beautifully seductive notes on the nose. Only about 15% new oak has been used here, so the wine is about...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

The colour is quite brilliant and bright. The nose shows a more fragrant red-fruit character with that oyster-shell character. This is 65% cabernet, 28% merlot and the balance malbec, petit verdot and cabernet franc. Beautifully balanced and poised, with bright red fruit on the palate. Still has the vineyard chalky, saline character there, with a slightly mineral lift. This is...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A vibrant and juicy young cabernet with so much appeal. Bright red fruit notes on the nose with a delicious red fruity palate delivering plenty. Chalky fine tannin and just a smidgeon oak to underpin the fruit combine to produce a wine for drinking over the next few years.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The colour is quite brilliant; almost luminous and so bright. It’s a firmish medium bodied cabernet displaying plenty of leafy blackcurrant fruit characters on the nose. It comes from the younger blocks on the site, and gets a fair whack of merlot. Has a chalky tannin mouthfeel with a nice bright red fruit mix. The oak is slightly more assertive...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

You might remember this as it was previously called Girt by Sea. It also has a small amount of merlot and petit verdot. It was a great year, and this wine has captured it all, delivering wonderful aromatics and perfumes, with deeper black fruits and violet, and that slightly minerally character on the finish. It has structure, it has poise,...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Beautifully seductive and perfumed wine. This is pretty much all cabernet with a smidgeon of petit verdot. Aromas are perfumed with lifted violet and red fruit characters. There’s a slightly cracked seas shell character in here with a that touch of iodine which all contributes to its complexity and layering. It’s a bold statement with admirable control and restraint. Lots...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a remarkably tight and restrained wine at this stage, yet the colour is vibrant and brilliant, with an almost lustrous luminosity. Its light red, crimson hues bring so much brilliance into play. It has had about 45% new oak, all barriques, for about 18 months. It was started before Tim Shand arrived, and it shows some rather tight,...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is classically defined southern Margaret River cabernet. It’s linear and slightly angular, with structure and poise. It’s mostly cabernet, with tiny contributions from merlot and petit verdot. There’s a leafy aromatic with bay leaf and oyster-shell characters. The colour is quite brilliant and bright. The palate has a chalky oyster-shell combination contributing to its structure and poise. Has the...

Margaret River

Shiraz

Shiraz has been one of the strong suits at Voyager for some time now. This is an example of the delicate refined qualities that can be achieved in a cooler year. Perfumed with high-end floral notes providing a stunning opening. The palate is seamlessly integrated with fine tannin and oak supporting spicy plummy fruit. Super value wine.

Margaret River

Shiraz

This is a very smart wine from a vintage which evolved into something pretty good. Bright red fruits on the nose with traces of dried herbs complementing the perfume. The colour is quite brilliant with red and crimson hues. The palate is more about savoury dried herbs. Has plenty of oak and powerful fruit. This still used Barossa clones in...

Margaret River

Syrah

This is quite beautiful. It’s from the Cape Mentelle syrah plantings and used quite a bit of whole bunch. About 40% bunches in the press and then reassembled and destemmed. It started being picked a little early and this has clearly contributed to its brilliance and radiance. Fermented quite warm and worked pretty hard before pressing to puncheons with just...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine of polish and sheen. Floral red fruit notes on the nose with a leafy minerally character. The palate is medium bodied but packed with fruit intensity that flows effortlessly to a long finish. The chalky tannins hold the line with the fine grained oak underpinning. Refined and classy.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Stylish and quite elegant, this is a medium- to full-bodied cabernet from an excellent season. There’s a mix of blackcurrant and blackberry on the nose, with a little minerally oyster shell and a lift of bay leaf. The palate has generous fruit intensity, supported by fine, chalky tannins and well-integrated oak. A polished and expressive Margaret River cabernet.

Margaret River

Shiraz

You’ll be immediately absorbed by the lovely aromatics that strike on the nose. It’s perfumed with spicy plum, dark chocolate and a little mulberry character, while the palate is so soft, supple and juicy. This is quintessential current-drinking shiraz, offering so much. It’s a real flavour bomb. And don’t be afraid to chill it ever so slightly during summer.

Mount Barker

Cabernet Sauvignon

A really impressive cool climate cabernet from what was an early but intense vintage, especially for red varieties. The nose exudes all the blackcurrant varietal character you could want with deeper dark plum and a little mulberry. A subtle leaf and a trace of black olive add further notes of complexity. Structured with fine tannins and infused oak. It’s still...

Mount Barker

Cabernet Sauvignon

An excellent wine from the 2021 vintage, which in Mount Barker delivered beautiful cool climate fruit with richness, concentration and supreme balance. Classic varietal characters of blackcurrant and dark plum with a touch of black cherry open on the nose, followed by a supple palate with a structural core contributing to its long finish. It's the most stylish expression of...

Frankland River

Shiraz

Juicy, plush and plump shiraz sourced from those wonderful vineyards down at Frankland River with slightly peppery dried herb notes on the nose with trace of ironstone minerality. The palate delivers further rushes with a big dollop of dark chocolate and a sprinkle of mocha.

Mount Barker

Pinot Noir

This is a deliciously appealing pinot noir off the Langton Vineyard near Mount Barker. Deep aromas of dark cherry and strawberry open. The palate is so plush and generous with supple red fruit flavours supported by lightly sinewy tannins and a little oak. It’s silky but deceptive as the palate builds in intensity to a sustained purposeful finish.

Mount Barker

Pinot Noir

If you're looking for a value-for-money, pure and vibrant young pinot noir that won’t cost the earth, then this little guy is just about spot on. It has some lovely, slightly spicy red fruits on the nose with the faintest mushroomy underlay. The palate releases a vibrant raspberry-cherry red fruit mix with subtle oak integration and a fine, long finish....

Great Southern

Shiraz

This is just starting to knit together and reveal its excellent qualities. On the nose you get a beautiful mix of spices, chocolate and dark plum with a slightly savoury tweak. The palate is medium to full bodied with a neat combination of chalky tannins and lightly cedary oak. It works really well in the short term or for further...

Blackwood Valley

Shiraz

An elegant medium bodied shiraz showing how well this variety can do in the Blackwood Valley in a slightly warmer year. It's soft and supple with a little peppery spice delving into the plush plummy fruit characters. Fine chalky tannins work neatly while the oak is underplayed and well-weighted. Bright with lots of sweet fruit appeal.

Great Southern

Pinot Noir

One of the best pinots Wignalls have released in their decorated life. It combines the lifted perfumed aromatics with a firm core in the palate that provides a sturdy direction and poise. Aromas of dark cherry, spices and a trace of truffle oil. The palate though is a serious statement of this variety. The firm core of chalky tannin and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

You’re getting some serious cabernet character in this polished wine from what was a very good vintage. Intense blackcurrant and dark plum on the nose with some subtle minerally edges. The palate is so beautifully integrated with the oak deftly supporting the concentrated and powerful fruit. The is a cabernet that could easily sell for a higher price.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A delightfully presented cabernet from this excellent vintage. Has a pretty perfumed nose of blackcurrant and leafy African violet with a trace of black olive. Seamlessly integrated oak and fine tannins gentle caress the palate. It’s poised and medium bodied with flavours of dark chocolate and black fruits rounded out with some really attractive integrated oak.

Margaret River

Cabernet Franc

Perhaps not the aromas and perfume you might expect from cabernet franc, but in this warm year, it's resulted in a wine of richness and power that provides another expression of this variety. Red and black fruit notes with a little Cherry Ripe-type influence. The palate is generous and concentrated, and slightly medium-bodied, so it's a wine of elegance and...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine of purpose and power from this very early, quite warm vintage. The extra time in the bottle is bringing it together quite beautifully. Masses of dark fruit on the nose with blackcurrant, a swirl of dark chocolate and plum, and that slight bay leaf, black olive nuance that adds an intriguing complexity. The palate is concentrated and intense,...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Yet another example of how, despite the very warm conditions in '24, wines have emerged with some class. Blackcurrant, bay leaf and chocolate notes on the nose. Harold, this is Margaret River cabernet. It's a bright wine of energy and purpose, with slightly chalky tannins and a liberal supply of oak feeding into the core to drive a very long...

Geographe

Shiraz

A wine that’s changed a little over the years, from what was a brooding high alcohol monster, into a wine that is still formidable, but with more restraint and less alcohol. The lowest yielding part of the vineyard is chosen as the base of this wine with open fermentation and hand plunging to soften and balance the tannins. The palate...

Geographe

Cabernet Sauvignon

A stylish and most elegantly refined cabernet with a distinctive varietal expression of blackcurrant and leafy plum with a little olive tapenade. The palate is vibrant and bursting with high energy fruit with that blackcurrant character evident, plus a light leafy red berry lift. A thread of chalky tannin and a sliver of fine-grained oak add their considerable support,

Geographe

Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the best producers in the Ferguson Valley south of Perth. Interesting thing about this wine. I tasted it one night and then had another look the next morning and the time breathing really helped a lot. Excellent medium-bodied blend with ripe juicy black fruits and a sweet fruity inclusion of the merlot.

Geographe

Shiraz

This wine has evolved over the years from what was once quite a brutish, massive wine into one of more restraint, but still with the opulence and ripeness that the name might suggest. It comes off very low-yielding vines, resulting in wine of tremendous concentration and richness. Dark plummy, dark chocolate nuances on the nose carry through to a palate...

Geographe

Cabernet Blend

A smooth and supple easy drinking blend offering plenty of soft and supple fruit supported by the firm thread of cabernet with fine tannins and a subtle lick of oak. Plenty of appealing blackcurrant and dark spicy plum characters. A wine designed for earlier drinking.

Geographe

Shiraz

A bright and lively Geographe shiraz dominated by the medium bodied perfumed succulent fruit. There is a pristine purity about it. On the nose it’s all raspberry and cherry plum with a liberal sprinkle of spices and a twist of cracked pepper. But the palate then springs to life with its high tone fruit.

Geographe

Shiraz

Not surprising this is one of the best examples of this wine yet released. The vintage worked perfectly in its favour, producing fruit of medium body and loaded with deeply intense flavours striking a wonderful natural balance. It’s had a reasonable level of new oak at 55%, but the intensity and concentration of the fruit has taken it easily. Bright...

Geographe

Shiraz

Consistently one of the best shiraz released in the state. Opens with a fairly typical plum, blackberry, dark chocolate character, with a faint hint of coffee grime. The palate has a grainy textural feel with a lively thread of stony minerality. It's had about 35% new oak, and yet the oak is certainly not intrusive and sits harmoniously as it...

Geographe

Tempranillo

Super vintage in Geographe, which has proved ideal for this famous Spanish variety. Willow Bridge have been making this for some time and it consistently produces a delicious, succulent, juicy style of tempranillo which is very much in line with the wines you might see in the bars in Spain. Bright blackberry juby, raspberry notes and a palate that is...

Geographe

Cabernet Blend

This was such a good year that even wines in the budget zone offer so much enjoyment. This one ticks all the drinkability boxes and then a few more. Bright vibrant red fruits delivered with a medium body. Plummy blackcurrant with a mix of minerals and dried herbs supported by a thread of chalky tannin. Rather scrumptious.
