Margaret River

Chardonnay

If you’re looking for a chardonnay that uses oak sparingly, and relies more on the fruit, then this little beauty hits the spot. Ripe melon and stone fruit with a splash of citrus adding life and lift. It’s precise with a generous though still controlled and linear palate. Ideal in the short term.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Creamy, medium-bodied, intensely flavoured chardonnay showing a high degree of complexity with wonderful balance. The aromas show a fairly typical creamy stone fruit, nectarine-dominant combination, with just a faint hint of smoky gun flint. It had some time in barriques and puncheons, and a small amount of wild yeast fermentation, and regular lees stirring over seven months has built something...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The milder season in 2025 has contributed to this quite elegantly and refined chardonnay. On the nose, there's a slightly oyster shell minerality with some subtle toasty oak influence. The palate introduces a richer textural feel with some creamy lemon curd, creme brulee nuances. And that subtle struck match complexity. It was fermented using a combination of inoculated and wild...

Margaret River

Semillon

Yet another compelling reason why we should be getting more semillon from Margaret River. This one shows its range if options, and is fermented in new and older French oak with some of it fermented on skins, bringing in further palate complexity and weight. The aromas are an intriguing mix of dried herbs, lemon scents, cedary oak. The palate goes...

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

Designed as a racy and zippy easy drinking wine for the short term. Loaded with crunchy juicy tropical fruit laced with a squeeze of lemon, a touch of sliced apple and pear and a sprinkle of spices to finish. Nice mouthwatering texture.

Margaret River

Chenin Blanc

Another of the very good chenin blancs coming from Margaret River these days. This one's made without any oak, so it's designed to be a real window into the fruit and the season. It has a nice mix of lightly tropical fruit, with an apple and pear combination and a cut of fine lime. The palate displays a lovely combination...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This is the style that became a benchmark for Margaret River back in the day. And it still has a place with its lively fresh as a daisy tropical fruit and herbaceousness providing appealing current drinking. It's fruity and pure with a zingy acidity.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a clean, pure, and fresh SSB that's made without any oak influence. So, what you're getting is a decent bang for your buck of punchy fruit characters, evident initially with that passionfruit and guava citrus combination on the nose, and slightly herbaceous cut grass characters adding complexity. The palate has a lovely fruit purity with the vibrant tropical...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

The profound impact of partial barrel fermentation is evident immediately on the nose. It creates something quite different from your standard savvy sending it into another dimension. It's a generous wine of great flavour but the balance between the oak and pure fruit ensures it maintains its varietal integrity.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This should be the model for savvies using barrel fermentation. It’s a generous and flavoursome style, based on exceptional fruit, but the oak influence has been judged perfectly so the natural fruit vibrancy isn’t compromised. Creamy tropical stone fruit and slightly nutty characters merge and mingle into a wonderful expression of the variety and style.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

You know you're in a sauvignon blanc zone from the first time you take in the aromas, but then there's something else lurking there, and it's in the form of a partial barrel fermentation, which introduces a degree of complexity evident initially on the nose and then more profound on the palate. It adds complexity to what is a highly...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

A wine that has move effortlessly into another zone in quality and style. It's a mighty impressive wine that has been handcrafted from the picking through into the cellar. The fruit is off some pretty old vines and it's been given 14 months in oak. Creamy stone fruit and even a touch of brioche and lemon rind, yet it retains...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This really is a most impressive chardonnay. If you’re looking for a bit in you chardonnays then this guy is just the ticket. It was all handpicked and barrel fermented with wild yeast before maturation in French oak for 14 months. The natural power of the Gingin clone and the vintage has been harnessed and controlled into a coiled linear...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The intensity, power, and obvious complexity become evident immediately on the nose. This is a wine that's had a degree of winemaking influence, but not that it compromises what is essentially excellent fruit. It was whole-bunch pressed, and then the ferment started naturally with about a quarter going through malolactic fermentation. So, the acid becomes a little softer and more...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is a most elegant and refined medium-bodied chardonnay. The aromas show a slightly waxy lambswool-like character with a hint of lightly roasted cashew and cut lime. And then there's that smoky gunflint-like character which adds another dimension. Palate is rich and textured but at the same time finely balanced and controlled. It's a most impressive chardonnay from a vintage...

Frankland River

Riesling

This has become one of the most interesting WA wine releases. It’s from the Geisenheim riesling clone close planted on high ironstone and after vinification with no additions it is put into 500l and 1000l old oak where wild yeast fermentation does its magic. So, this is riesling made in the old way, hence the name. Spicy with a creamy...

Frankland River

Riesling

One of the very best Isolation Ridge rieslings produced. It’s from an exceptional vintage showing the pristine purity and minerally tension of great rieslings. Comes from a combination of clones planted in 1988. Now this is not your usual riesling. It was left on lees for nine months and about 10% was matured in oak. The result is a wine...

Frankland River

Riesling

This also comes off the Isolation Ridge vineyard. A combination of tank and oak fermentation is used to create its distinctive style. It’s made as an off-dry style after the fermentation is stopped and spends nine months in a combination of tank and old oak. A beautiful wine that reveals characters of spices and a beautiful chalky minerality. The off...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Immediately strikes with the greater intensity and more focused precision which is part of the linear structure of this wine. It’s deeply complex already with a minerally, and slightly citrus and savoury combination. That heightened chalky minerality really says chardonnay at the highest level. There is power and drive here, yet it’s delivered with such sophisticated elegance. This is a...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This is the most elegant and stylish light-bodied chardonnay. It was whole-bunch pressed and wild yeast fermented. Then had six months in oak, so it hasn't seen an excessive amount of oak and yet the fruit has developed harmony and complexity. On the nose, there's a minerally sea spray citrus combination. And then the palate is really finely crafted and...

Margaret River

White Blend

Fraser Gallop has been a champion of this style of wine for some time. So in this case it's been fermented with wild yeasts and then matured in a combination of new and second-fill French oak. So, the oak plays an important part, but it's well-managed so it doesn't intrude beyond creating a complex textural aromatic influence. Nutty, lightly tropical...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

It is utterly beyond me why people are spending many hundreds of dollars on Premier Cru White Burgundy when we have wines like this at home. A wine of complexity and texture, aromas weave through nectarines, struck matches, florals, citrus, honeydew melon, beeswax and peach pits. Oak integration is near immaculate and has almost disappeared into the wine, just leaving...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The wines under this label have been quite a revelation in recent years. This one from the excellent '22 vintage is another cracker. It's a precise and elegantly crafted wine with a steely minerally core. Aromas of pear and quince paste with a little citrus tang. The palate has a slightly crystalline minerality with a lingering finish. Has a distinctive...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The ageing potential for this blend can often be underestimated. This is a case in point. At nearly 8 years old when tasted it was still holding brilliantly. The primary fruit characters have given way to more complex toasty lemon buttery development. But it retains a fresh vibrancy with lovely fruit characters augmented with a little barrel fermentation, still dominant....

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is starting to show those nicely toasted secondary characters. Yet, the purity of the fruit has not been compromised. You sort of expect that from a good vintage. Plenty of flavour intensity with a splash of barrel fermented oak the final touch to a very nice wine. Rich and crunchy juicy palate is thoroughly delicious.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This has a slightly smoky herbaceousness providing a nice balance with the creamy stone fruit characters. Those primary characters of freshly mown grass are still evident with some richer peachy stone fruit filling out the palate. Light touch of oak, and there you have it.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This combination has just a few years of age and so the primary fruit characters are still evident. It is drinking wonderfully well. The upfront fruit characters have been transformed into less overt aromas and flavours, yet the intensity of the palate is excellent. More stone fruit emerging with that faint hint of oak from a little barrel fermentation, completes...

Great Southern

White Varietal

This highly distinctive aromatic variety is mainly grown in Germany, but it once was very popular in New Zealand before they discovered sav blancs. Tropical aromas with a red apple skin and guava, melon character on the nose. The palate has a spicy edge with good fruit intensity. It works well with spicy Asian food.

Great Southern

Riesling

Galafrey uses only free run juice here, which heightens its purity and almost pristine characters. There's a regional and varietal spiciness that works within the citrus and lemon peel nuances on the nose. The palate is fine with a degree of tension balanced with deep riesling intensity. Has a long racy finish.

Mount Barker

Chardonnay

This is a slightly lighter, medium-bodied chardonnay from Mount Barker that's been given a little barrel fermentation to bring complexity and texture into the mid-palate while retaining that vibrant, lively and quite crunchy freshness. Subtle cashew and lemon meringue characters lead to a palate that is fine and quite delicate, threading through to a sustained, long finish. Delightful drinking over...

Mount Barker

Chardonnay

A most appealing and enjoyable earlier-drinking style of chardonnay. It is generously flavoured and chock-full of peachy stone fruit, with a lifted citrusy lemon zip. The oak is lightly applied, introducing a slightly nutty character. It has a lovely vibrant mouthfeel and absolutely nails this style of wine for drinking in the shorter term.

Mount Barker

Riesling

Over the years, some quite exceptional rieslings have come off this little vineyard just north of Mount Barker. Typically, the aromas are a combination of lime and lemon with a slightly spicy, mineral nuance. The palate is deeply intense but delivers with a degree of 2025 delicacy, and the dry finish is long. There's a beautiful mouthfeel about this riesling,...

Mount Barker

Riesling

In a warm year, the southern vineyards in the state performed quite well for the white varieties. This is a dry-style riesling with plenty to like about it. Floral, citrusy aromatics are immediately apparent, while the palate has settled into a groove with a minerally, spicy character complemented by natural citrus edges. The palate is controlled by fine, lingering acidity....

Margaret River

Chardonnay

You're getting a smart chardonnay at this price point reflecting more sophisticated winemaking than you might expect. For instance, it was whole-bunch pressed directly to French oak, where it was fermented, allowing the textural and complex influences of the oak to work into the chardonnay. Aromas of nectarine and white peach typical of this variety, but then a palate that...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The textural and aromatic influence of some older oak fermentation is certainly evident both in the weight and the complexity that takes this fairly standard blend up a notch. There's a nice light nutty tropical fruit aromatic and then a clean crisp vibrant palate with that combination of gooseberry and guava which picks up the savvy and little citrus tang...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

Another excellent chardonnay from Grace Farm displaying a fine balance between delicacy and power. It comes together beautifully. Aromas of savoury roasted almond and creamy stone fruit with a little quince and lemon curd. Love the palate structure and the fine minerally savouriness on the finish. A classy wine.

Margaret River

Chardonnay

The chardonnays from this small family-owned winery located in the Cowaramup Brook Valley continue to impress. This one from the warm 2024 vintage has emerged rather beautifully. A little winemaking goes in here with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation before fermentation and maturation in all French oak barriques for about 10 months. There are notes of lemon zest, cashew, and...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This was a year when whites excelled. It's all from the Gingin clone with the power and intensity evident, albeit managed to produce a wine of sublime elegance and refinement. I reckon this is as good a Grace Farm chardie as I have seen. Light cereal notes with a limestone minerality on the nose. The palate has a lovely texture...

Margaret River

Chardonnay

This single vineyard chardonnay is the best and most sophisticated of any yet released by Grace Farm. It’s all Gingin clone which was whole bunch pressed to new and used barriques with solids allowed to influence texture and aromas. Aromas of lemon curd and quince with lightly roasted cashew and a hint of turmeric. The palate is linear, with a...

Margaret River

White Blend

From the outset this small family run producer has made excellent blended whites The vineyard produces fruit of such purity and fruit vibrancy. This is another cracker with the minerally juicy passionfruit flavours augmented with a subtle use of oak through barrel fermentation. A perfect summer drink for now but a couple more years wouldn't hurt it at all.
