Swan Valley

Verdelho

A quite beautiful, understated expression of Swan Valley verdelho. Light fruit notes on the nose, with a little limestone character, and then a palate that is crisp, pure and expressive. It’s light-bodied, but there’s tremendous flavour here that extends with ease through to a sustained finish. I love the precision and that lightly mineral finish. An excellent wine.

Swan Valley

Grenache

Love this wine, just love it. Comes from that special part of the Swan Valley where some of the oldest vines in the State reside. This is treated gently with bunch selection, hand picking and sorting with wild yeast fermentation before being bottle unfined and unfiltered. So, you get a direct line of site into these old vines. Pretty with...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Okay, so here is something special. Its 100% chardonnay and after bottling spent 12 years on lees before disgorgement. The result is an outstanding example of Australian sparkling wine that would have the French trembling in their riddling racks. Intense aromas of butterscotch and toasty marmalade with a bright fresh lemon citrus lift. The palate is layered and deeply complex...

Pemberton

Sparkling

There's a lovely, brilliant pink colour to open, and then the nose reveals subtle red fruit, cherry, and raspberry notes that merge seamlessly with more bready autolysis characters. The palate is deeply flavoursome and intense, with both structure and finesse. The extra time in the bottle has allowed this to pick up further layers of complexity and richness while retaining...

Pemberton

Chardonnay

Such a sophisticated blanc de blancs style drawn from chardonnay sourced in Pemberton. As always, the wine is aged for a minimum of five years before release. The complexity and autolysis characters are certainly emerging. Aromas of fresh baked bread, brioche and a little citrus create an engaging opening. The palate is complete and very long. A high-class sparkling wine.

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...

Swan Valley

Muscat

Oh, yes, we're in a heady zone here with a wine that speaks of the Swan Valley. The colour immediately suggests some age, and then the aromas lift with typical dark chocolate, fruitcake, and rich butterscotch with a slightly violet crumble character. The palate is deeply layered and intense, with extraordinary complexity that builds on the Solera system of blending...

Swan Valley

Fortified

A glorious statement of Swan Valley fortified wine using verdelho, one of the staple varieties of the region. The wine is aged for many years in old oak allowing it to deepen and concentrate to eventually release a wine of remarkable complexity. Toffee, dried apricot and maple syrup with a caramel richness adding even more depth. Just wonderful.

Swan Valley

Verdelho

The base wine of this is 93 through to 2018. This is a classic Swan Valley madeira style liqueur fortified wine. Loads of toffee and marzipan in the solera system. Deeply intense and rich with an unctuous mouthfeel. Has an almost khaki colour on the edges. Traces of toffee and chocolate with a fine persistent acid adding direction. This is...

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.

Swan Valley

Chardonnay

This Swan Valley white blend that is generally chardonnay, semillon and verdelho regularly surprises wine show judges. This one slots right in for drinking now. The fruit has evolved nicely to develop gently toasty, creamy flavours with that nice lift of citrus adding life. The Swan valley does these wines just so well.

Swan Valley

Fortified

Oh my, what a wonderful example of a liqueur style that the Swan Valley does so well. The colour has that deep caramel and a slight hint of khaki on the edges. You open with an aroma of remarkable complexity, with toffee and roasted coffee beans, dark raisins and syrupy caramel all swirling around and capturing your attention. And then...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Sittella reaches into its Buckshot Ridge vineyard in Margaret River for this excellent blend that works so well. It’s a generous medium bodied wine that is seamlessly laced together with fine tannins and well managed oak. Blackcurrant and dark chocolate characters with light tobacco leaf characters adding a nice touch. Classy little wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This one comes from Margaret River, from this vineyard in Wilyabrup. So it has the pedigree. It’s an intense wine from whichever way you look at it. On the nose, there’s a slightly smoky gunflint character overriding the intense lemony-grapefruit characters. And then the palate has tremendous concentration, yet it’s linear and defined, with a degree of tension. Nice mineral...

Margaret River

Red Blend

Really interesting wine, this. There are three clones of cabernet sauvignon and a new clone of cabernet franc plus different clones of malbec with a little merlot. This is a very young wine, but it is looking very good. It’s structured and poised with the 25% new oak an important contribution. Lots of minerally blackcurrant fruit with a trace of...

Swan Valley

Verdelho

This is a more controlled and refined expression of the verdelho from the Swan Valley. The aromas have a floral, light stone fruit, and citrus edge. The palate is soft, yet with a fine, lively acidity that carries through to the finish. This is not a big fruit bomb, but there is flavour within, and it drives forward with precision...

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...

Great Southern

Grenache

The boys have gone to the Great Southern to source this grenache. It’s medium bodied in line with contemporary thinking for this variety. Soft supple fruit with a merging of bright red fruits and a slight turned earthy character. Bright and vibrant palate with lots of red fruit following through to a pleasingly long finish.

Great Southern

Pinot Gris

This is largely Pinot Gris but with a small inclusion of Riesling from the Great Southern. It seems to have evolved over the years and is now a finer, tighter, more minerally expression of the variety, showing its lifted florals and persistent citrus characters. The textural element comes from a short time in 500-litre puncheons with time on lees in...

Great Southern

Pinot Gris

This Great Southern sourced pinot gris has emerge from the heat of the hottest vintage in pretty good shape. Nice aromatics of apple and pear lead through into a textured and smooth palate with a slight viscosity that makes it such good current drinking.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is a powerhouse Cabernet, sourced from Margaret River. It opens immediately with an intense and driving aroma of blackcurrant, black olive, and a little bay leaf. The palate is still quite tightly held, with the deep black fruits releasing with drive through to a long finish. It has a chalky, slightly minerally oyster shell thread, and the fine knit...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

The best wine from these guys yet. This is pure class. The nose is captivating and immediately alluring with its perfumed blackcurrant and dark plum notes with a little liqueur cherry curling in. The palate combines the power and structure of cabernet with a focussed elegance. Slightly mineral and chalky tannins add a final balancing act on the finish.
