Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The first cabernet release from Richard Rowe’s new venture, and it impresses. The fruit is sourced from Wilyabrup. Vibrant crimson colour with a nose of pure blackcurrant lifted by florals and violet. The palate is refined, elegant, and ethereal, yet carries the power of Margaret River cabernet. Already showing excellent fruit intensity and complexity, with a long future ahead. Love...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a delightfully elegant and keenly refined chardonnay that delivers with Karridale cool-climate restraint. The aromas show nice cut lime and nectarine with a little meringue-like character. The palate is finely crafted, with a mineral, slightly oyster-shell edginess giving it definition and supporting its linear structure. Precise and focused, with chalky, crisp acidity.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

An immediately more powerful and generous style compared with the slightly more linear Karridale chardonnay. Generous and intense it might be, but there is refinement and restrained poise that captures a distinctive house style. Butterscotch, lime and pear characters on the nose, followed by a more deeply complex palate of ripe stone fruit, a little brioche and a trace of...

Great Southern

Chardonnay

This wine within the Singlefile portfolio has evolved over recent years into one of the best value wines released anywhere in the state. And it might be value for money, but it's made with some serious intent, including wild yeasts and some nice oak treatment to develop complexity. There's also been some regular lees stirring, which has introduced a textural...

Great Southern

Pinot Grigio

A light and delicate pinot grigio that has performed rather well in this hot vintage. Light aromas of apple and pear with a subtle citrus edge and a trace of crumbly pastry. The palate is fine and linear with good flavour intensity.

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

I think sauvignon blanc must be bullet proof to produce such an enjoyable, though restrained wine in such a hot vintage. Nice minerally citrus and melon aromas with a slight chalky dust character. The palate is finely balanced with nice light flavours finishing with a clean crispness.

Great Southern

Shiraz

This was a warm to hot season in the Great Southern, yet the slightly cooler influence of this southern region has tempered the heat, resulting in wines of generous acidity and flavour with supple palate appeal. Plummy red fruit notes with a spicy character on the nose and a palate that is delicious and rich, with slightly chocolatey, plummy flavours...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

A wonderful example of Swan Valley chenin blanc. Fermented in stainless steel and left on lees prior to blending and bottling. The result is tremendous depth of fruit with a lively, sprightly palate of spicy citrus, apple and tropical fruit. Lees influence gives a slightly creamy texture that balances fine, precise acidity, carrying through to a long finish. A terrific...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

I do like chenin blanc from the Swan, and in this excellent year the result is compelling. Fermented in stainless steel and left on lees before blending, which has given the wine texture and richness while retaining fresh, spicy, citrus and slightly appley characters. The palate is punchy, vibrant and slightly textural, lifted by a splash of citrus on the...

Swan Valley

Grenache

Another variety that excels in the Swan Valley, sourced from old, dry-grown vines. Open fermentation with wild yeasts and whole-bunch inclusion add dimension before maturation in French oak. Medium-bodied and brightly floral with raspberry and rose petal notes. The palate is beautifully integrated, supported by fine chalky tannins and understated oak. A superb expression of Swan Valley grenache.

Swan Valley

Shiraz

The old vines for this wine were planted at the Swan Valley Estate back in the '60s, making this classic old-vine Swan Valley shiraz in all its glory from an exceptional season. A perfect example of what the Swan does so well. Aromas of spicy dark plum and black cherry lead to a medium-bodied, generous palate with supple, fine tannins...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

Swan Valley chenin blanc in a good year; oh, yeah. Comes from old vines in the Swan and then gets time in a mix of French oak and stainless steel. It creates a wine of tremendous flavour and precision with great palate texture and richness. There's a slightly spicy pear and minerally edge that completes an excellent wine.

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

A variety that was fully tested in this hot year and yet once again has shown its ability to perform in warmer years in the Swan Valley. It’s from old vines and was fermented in oak and tank before being brought together. There’s a delightful spicy citrus character here rather than the usual varietal tropical fruits. The palate is already...

Swan Valley

Shiraz

The aim of this wine when it was introduced a few years ago, was to capture the essence of place in the Swan Valley. This is as good as any and certainly speaks to its site and the old vines planted back in the 60s. A pretty fundamental approach with natural yeasts and open fermentation before maturation in seasoned French...

Swan Valley

Verdelho

A classic example of Swan Valley verdelho. In this case it's fermented in stainless steel but then gets time on lees, which introduces a rich textural feel on the palate. Typical creamy tropical fruit characters with a drizzle of citrus tang to lift the finish.

Swan Valley

Verdelho

It was as hot as Hades in the Swan Valley in this vintage, and yet here is a verdelho displaying delicacy and crisp freshness, totally belying the season. It was fermented in stainless steel but then the time on lees has introduced that palate complexity while maintaining its vibrancy and life.

Swan Valley

Tempranillo

Fruit comes from the Perth Hills and Swan Valley. Made simply with open fermentation and wild yeasts, then matured in French oak barriques. Medium-bodied, soft and supple with bright fruit characters typical of Spain. Light cherry, Turkish delight and subtle raspberry make for delicious current drinking.

Swan Valley

Verdelho

Much like the chenin in this range, this was fermented in stainless steel and given extended time on lees, contributing to its textural feel. At the same time, the vibrant citrus and tropical notes remain clearly defined, flowing into a palate that is delightfully flavoursome and pure. There is a pristine clarity to the fruit. Terrific current drinking, with a...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Made from fruit sourced from Pemberton, this is quite distinct from the Estate Reserve from the Wilyabrup vineyard. Made along similar lines, but the result is finer and leaner, with beautiful aromatics of light citrus and quince, a little fresh sea spray and a palate that is fine, linear and deeply intense. Wonderful purity, with crunchy, cracked-seashell characters adding complexity....

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A vintage that produced wines of elegance and style, and this generously texture full bodied wine is a classic example. Leafy blackcurrant and black olive aromas with a little bay leaf and light graphite. The palate is beautifully poised and controlled with fine-grained oak and fine chalky tannins working harmoniously. Black fruits emerge throughout. That graphite edge follows the palate...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

An elegant Margaret River cabernet that reflects the cooler vintage. Full-bodied yet silky smooth with fine texture. Aromas of black olive, bay leaf and blackcurrant. The palate is neatly balanced with sweet fruit and dry savouriness.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Such a beautiful example of the quality of cabernet from the long, cool 2023 vintage in Margaret River. This is elegant, refined and stylish, with blackcurrant, dark cherry and slightly blue fruit notes on the nose. Seamless integration is a feature of the palate, with fine tannins and fine-grained oak cradling the beautiful fruit. Elegant yet structured, with the potential...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A first-rate chardonnay from this old, low-yielding vineyard in Wilyabrup. Hand-picked, whole-bunch pressed and fermented in French oak with wild yeasts. Extended time on lees has built textural complexity into the palate while balancing fine, delicate acidity. Quince, stone fruit and a touch of lemon curd with a slightly dry savoury finish. A most appealing chardonnay from a good year...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

From vines that are part of the original Sandalford Margaret River vineyard, this has been treated with kid gloves from the start, with handpicking, whole-bunch pressing and fermentation in French barriques using wild yeasts. Richness and texture allow the full range of varietal characters to emerge. Nutty, creamy stone fruit on the nose leads to a deep, concentrated and textured...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Fruit simply bursts from the glass. It's a perfect example of the quality of the 23 vintage. Loads of fresh tropical fruits with a neat mix of passionfruit and guava with varietal gooseberry coming from the savvy. Has a nice palate texture. Super drinking in the next couple of years.

Margaret River

Shiraz

Highly fragrant and quite beautiful shiraz. It was a year where the wines have generally taken an extra year or two to emerge from their shell. This is a case in point. Spicy clove and nutmeg aromas lead you into a generous soft and supple palate with plummy mocha-like flavours releasing. A slightly savoury edge completes and finishes the wine.

Margaret River

Shiraz

I can’t recall a better wine under this label. It is a beauty. Must have been fun trying to pick during Covid, but when you get a result like this it all becomes worthwhile. The nose is complex – seriously. Spicy notes of clove and light cocoa with a blackberry fruitiness pervading. The palate is beautifully integrated with the oak...

Margaret River

Shiraz

From old vines among the first planted in Wilyabrup. A superb Margaret River shiraz: generous, smooth and sitting between medium- and full-bodied. Earthy dried herbs, plummy fruits, cocoa and mocha on the nose. The palate has brightness and energy driving through to a sustained finish. Balanced chalky tannins, sweet fruit and a touch of oak complete an excellent wine for...

Margaret River

Shiraz

These old vines at Sandalford in Wilyabrup were among the first shiraz planted in the region. This is a beautifully polished and poised example of Margaret River shiraz, with aromas of fruitcake and plum, lightly savoury notes and a little licorice. The palate displays remarkable softness and generosity, with chalky acidity and subtle oak harnessing the fruit perfectly. A lightly...

Margaret River

Verdelho

A light bodied yet flavoursome and most appealing verdelho from some pretty old vines down at Margaret River. Light tropical notes on the nose flow into a crunchy palate that finishes crisp and dry. Has a refreshing lively acid lick on the finish.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

A wine that's designed for immediate drinking. The palate is medium bodied but carries good flavour intensity. Aromas of vanilla bean and plum with a spicy edge. It's a delicious easy drinking wine perfect for the local BYO or afternoon barbecue.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A crunchy and lively little blend from Margaret River. Aromas of slightly subdued tropical passionfruit and melon with a little spice. The palate is fruity with a fine controlling acidity keeping it crisp and linear. A wine for drinking in the next couple of years.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Beautiful example of the quality of fruit from the 2026 vintage. This is a punchy, lively expression of the style without being overblown, with ripe tropical notes. A little muted initially, but ultimately more intense and concentrated, retaining slightly melony, citrus and lemony characters. A subtle brush of herbaceousness adds the final complexing touch. Beautiful current drinking.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Pure and intense essence of Margaret River cabernet here. This powerhouse wine was culled from the best barrels to achieve the purest expression of Margaret River cabernet. Black fruits swirl through the densely packed palate. The tannins have a grainy feel while the slightly toasty oak adds just the right touch to the palate.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This outstanding cabernet comes from some of the oldest vines in Margaret River. It was an excellent vintage, and this is a classy example of it. The nose is invading. Notes of deep blackcurrant and black olive with nuances of spicy plum and dark chocolate. The palate is an awesome display of Margaret River firepower. Intense and concentrated yet with...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is the result after barrel selection of handpicking, whole bunch pressing and wild yeast oak fermentation. It is a wine of richness and elegance, and of course the power of the Gingin clone in Margaret River is clearly evident. Notes of butterscotch and lemon with a little varietal grapefruit on the nose. The palate is rich and deeply textured...

Margaret River

Shiraz

This is a real powerhouse shiraz from this very good vintage in Margaret River. A basically traditional winemaking approach was adopted before the wine was matured in oak. Powerful aromas of coffee and dark plum with a licorice mocha and spicy thing happening. The palate is super concentrated with rich dark fruit flavours lifted with a little roasted coffee, mocha...

Swan Valley

Muscat

This is an extraordinary example of liqueur muscat from the Swan Valley. There are obviously stacks of old material in here, and yet it's been freshened with more recent additions. Hence, the result is a supremely balanced wine, where the combination of old rancio luscious complexity is elevated by some lovely, more recent florals. Totally beguiling combination of toffee, honeycomb,...

Swan Valley

Verdelho

Liqueur verdelho is one of the remarkable wines of the Swan Valley. It also shows the extraordinary versatility of a variety that can on the one hand be fresh and fruity and on the other – well, this. A rich and unctuous fortified wine of breathtaking depth and richness. Layer upon layer of toffee, honeycomb and rich raisin fruit. The...

Swan Valley

Fortified

I remember my first tasting of this this wine many years ago. It was life changing and I’ve been a fan of these Swan Valley fortifieds ever since. Rich and lavishly complex with caramel and dark chocolate with liqueur orange and fruit cake aromas. The palate builds a multi-layered complex richness displaying those leathery, dark fruit cake and syrupy chocolate...
