Great Southern

Cabernet Blend

This is a blend of cabernet sauvignon and the highly aromatic cabernet franc. On the nose, you get deep, plummy blackberry aromas with a slight hint of chalk dust. The palate is quite soft and supple, with a deep, plummy blackcurrant flavour. This is a wine of substance and poise, and ultimately, the smooth, seamlessly integrated palate is a feature...

Great Southern

Chardonnay

A lighter style of chardonnay, but one with plenty of character. The aromas sit within the melony, light nectarine zone with a little vanilla pod interest. The palate is lightly framed but with good intensity. The stone fruit richness provides plenty within, while a fine acid and light lemon edge add definition and precision.

Great Southern

Nebbiolo

This Italian variety is ideally suited to rosé styles. When it’s made into this dry, light style of wine, the light red fruits of strawberries and wild roses show immediately. It’s a variety that naturally has good tannins, and although obviously subdued here, they sit unobtrusively in the background, giving the wine both structure and texture. It has a dry,...

Great Southern

Pinot Noir

This little vineyard 3 Drops acquired a few years ago consistently produces excellent pinot noir. This one is a beauty. Spicy dark cherry with a lift of aromatic strawberry on the nose. The palate has a spicy influence through the dark cherry fruit flavours. Captures that balance between fragrance and delicacy with a firmish structured core sustaining a long finish.

Great Southern

Pinot Noir

It’s amazing how good some of these Great Southern wines have been from what was a very hot vintage. The slightly cooler environment seems to have suited them, and in this case, it has produced a wine that shows the plushness of pinot noir, with excellent structure from a fine thread of tannin, light oak, and the natural acidity so...

Great Southern

Riesling

Such a good year for these aromatic whites. This is one of the finest and most delicate 3 Drops rieslings. Yet, it also has that long lean palate delivery. Crunchy lemon and lime on the nose with a spicy lemon zip on the palate. The fine delicate acidity drives a very long finish. A subtle powdery bath salts character completes...

Great Southern

Riesling

The spicy lemon rind aromatics are immediately striking in this positively exquisite riesling from the Great Southern. Three Drops has emerged as one of the best producers of this variety, and in a good season like this, it has really excelled. It’s fine and crisp, with a typically linear line carrying through to a very long finish. Crunchy, spicy minerality...

Great Southern

Shiraz

A fine example of cool climate shiraz from the Great Southern. The colour is vibrant crimson red. Aromas combine red and blue fruits with attractive spicy touches. The oak and fruit work in harmony, while fine chalky, slightly grainy tannins add appealing texture to the palate. A little spice on the finish completes an excellent wine.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A medium-bodied reflection of the vintage. Yet there is plenty of mid-palate power in this stylish and refined cabernet. Minerally graphite and blackcurrant notes on the nose with just a trace of mulberry complexity. The palate is sleek and refined with a nice combination of chalky tannins and fine grained understated oak. Persistent and long.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This has a strongly fruit-driven presence about it, but when you go deeper, you see the characteristic blackcurrant, bay leaf, and quite a distinctive graphite character on the nose into the palate, which is supported by some fine tannins and some careful oak, of which 40% was new. A smooth release of dark fruits carries through to a long finish....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

There's a little happening in this classy chardonnay. On the nose the combination of toasty butterscotch and quince with a little roasted almond shows the way in. Then the palate delivers with a rich foundation of light stone fruit and a little struck match edginess. A neat chardonnay.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This presents as a lighter style of chardonnay, but it still carries plenty within it. The fruit was pressed directly into French oak with about 30% new and then wild fermented before maturation in oak for another nine months. It has a lightly roasted cashew, minerally, and somewhat citrus character on the nose. On the palate, flavours of vanilla pod,...

Margaret River

Shiraz

A beautifully soft and supple shiraz displaying all the virtues of this variety. Aromas of plum laced with dark chocolate and roasted coffee bean. The palate comes together beautifully with the integration of fine-grained oak and silky fine tannins. A little blue fruit character edges in on the nose before moving into the palate.

Great Southern

Shiraz

This wine was sourced from down near the Porongurups near the Kalgan River, and it shows that light, somewhat refined medium body that this area is noted for. Has a quite perfumed cherry and plum note, with a little creamy vanilla note on the palate. A savoury mix of dark plummy fruit, a subtle gaminess, and a lift of spice...

Pemberton

Pinot Noir

This is a beautifully expressive Pemberton pinot loaded with bright red fruits displaying a fresh strawberry and confectionery raspberry coulis type of combination. A light to medium-bodied wine, but there is palate intensity here that carries through to sustain an impressive finish. Nice short-term wine.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

A delightfully fruit and flavoursome chardonnay designed for drinking in the short term. Lifted melon and citrus with a gentle hint of vanilla bean on the nose. The palate has a slight butterscotch and lemon curd richness with the crisp acid taking through to a crunchy vibrant finish.

Pemberton

Chardonnay

This is a more generously flavoured chardonnay, with a ripe melon, vanilla pod and citrussy lemon meringue-like character. Comes from Pemberton and reveals rather beautiful fruit character initially on the nose and then on the palate. A little butterscotch and lemon curd add further complexity.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

If you’re into your pinot grigio then this little guy is just the ticket. Has a slightly pinkish colour which you can get with this variety. Spicy apple and pear with a little crumbly biscuit on the nose. The palate has is textured with the crisp acid sustaining a clean finish.

Pemberton

Pinot Grigio

This pretty much overlays the blueprint for this variety. Sourced from the cool Pemberton region, it retains a fresh, crunchy acidity. Loaded with a typical varietal combination of apple and pear crumble, and just a little stone fruit richness. But it retains its fine delicacy.

Great Southern

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is largely cabernet sauvignon with smaller contributions from malbec and cabernet franc. It's a smooth and generous wine displaying an engaging combination of black and red fruits on the nose with a little dark chocolate complexity. The palate fills with red and black fruits supported by fine sinewy tannins and neat oak. It's a well-structured and poised wine that...

Great Southern

Chardonnay

A refined and elegant medium bodied cabernet from Frankland. Blackcurrant and leafy blackberry notes on the nose. The palate shows good varietal integrity with a mix of ironstone and red fruits with a balanced chalky firm tannin influence. The oak has been well-handled so as not to dominate in this lighter year.

Great Southern

Chardonnay

I do like this chardonnay with its many attractive features. Aromas of lemon and spice with little vanilla pod and brioche. Into the light-bodied palate the layers of nectarine and gentle white peach create a lovely combination. A twist of lemon on the finish and there you have it.

Great Southern

Riesling

Consistently one of the best rieslings in the State. This is one of the finest and most delicate. Fine spicy lemon and lime contributes to a palate of tension and direction. There is such a delightful pristine purity with a fine minerally thread extending through to the finish. Zippy acid to finish.

Great Southern

Shiraz

Shiraz has always been a strong suit at Alkoomi, and this is an example of a more medium bodied elegant style. The aromas are a mix of spices and black pepper over slightly meaty dark plum and chocolate. The palate is so silky smooth and seamlessly integrated. The fine chalky tannins and just a faint hint of ironstone provide complexity...

Great Southern

Shiraz

This was quite a cool season in Frankland River, but it also produced some very good wines, such as this shiraz. Sweet dark chocolate over dark plum with a peppery dried herb influence emerges immediately on the nose. Then the smooth velvety palate kicks in with its plush fruit and well-integrated tannin and oak. It's an elegant wine of great...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This has been a winner for Amelia Park, and I have to say this one is as good as any released to date. The warm vintage suited the ripe generous style. The addition of the aromatic cab franc with a little malbec has lifted the nose and created beautifully exotic perfumes. This takes the cab merlot blend into another zone....

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Wow. You won’t be able to put this one down. Exotic perfumes of bright red berries with a little minerally earthy nuance before the final lift of violet showing the subtle influence of a small amount of cabernet franc. The palate is pure indulgence with supple fruit wrapped around a fine thread of tannin and a gentle touch of oak....

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This is a masterful example of what can be achieved under this banner. In this case, it's a combination of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, malbec and cabernet franc. Sure, the cabernet sauvignon takes the dominant role, but the other varieties complete the seamless palate, bringing a lift of vibrant red fruits. Lovely combination of plummy blackcurrant, a little spicy cedar and...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This was a pretty warm season in Margaret River, yet the earlier ripening and maturing chardonnay has generally performed very well, and this is a very good example of that. The nose shows plenty of deep stone fruit and a white peachy nectarine character with some lifted florals. On the palate, the richness of chardonnay emerges but is controlled to...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is such a beautifully textured and presented chardonnay from a season that produced both opulence and a degree of delicacy. Aromas of white peach and butterscotch, with a little citrus and a subtle spiciness. The palate is rich and textured with layered complexity. Delivering with a burst of stone fruit but balanced by a fine, precise linear acidity. So,...

Margaret River

Grenache

This excellent grenache from this excellent season comes off one of the oldest grenache vineyards in Margaret River. Typically, fragrant and perfumed with that rose petal, cherry and raspberry combination. Offset with a little dusty, dry earth and leather. Palate is supple, medium-bodied, with tremendous length and precision. Lots of dark fruits and ripe berries, and harnessed with just the...

Margaret River

Malbec

Bright high energy malbec from Margaret River. I have found this cooler vintage has been ideal for malbec, allowing the perfumed aromatics to emerge while creating such refined and elegant palate structures. Lots of bright red fruit with a sweet middle palate that is offering such wonderfully appealing drinking. I like to drink this style of wine while it is...

Margaret River

Malbec

Gosh I do like this wine. Malbec has become one of my favourite varietals since it started to stand up on its own and no longer be part of a blend as it usually is with cabernet. This one is so beautifully presented, with lovely aromatics of mulberry and red fruits and a little leafiness adding complexity. It's soft, it's...

Margaret River

Malbec

Well, who doesn't love malbec? You've got to. And this one is a beauty. The warmer year certainly produced fruit of real opulence and density but at the same time there's a subtleness about it. The aromas of mulberry rhubarb, plum and a little light leaf are evident from the start. The palate though, is where this little guy sings...

Cabernet Sauvignon

Captures the elegance and stylishness of this vintage in Margaret River. Such a bright hi-tone wine with a perfumed nose of blackcurrant laced with red fruits and a little graphite minerality. The palate presents a refined combination of effortlessly fine fruit supported with chalky tannins and fine-grained oak. Still quite tight and has great cellaring potential.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2022 vintage in Margaret River was initially underrated to some extent, but increasingly the quality of wines being produced and released shows just what a good season it was. This is another excellent wine that's made in a largely traditional way. The nose delivers typical, right-on-the-money Margaret River, blackcurrant, black olive and a little bay leaf. There's just a...
