Margaret River

Cabernet Franc

The ethereal lift and perfumes of cabernet franc emerge immediately on the nose. Loads of bright red fruits. Lightly perfumed violets and a little dark cherry provide a compelling and engaging opening. It's a medium-bodied palate with a quite firm thread of tannins, but it presents with plush, lush fruit that's soft and supple. Has the structure but also the...

Margaret River

Red Blend

This blend of cabernet, malbec and petit verdot has been a consistent winner for Victory Point over the years, consistently delivering quality at a valued price. Needless to say, from this outstanding season, this has to be one of the best yet released. Captures all the essential fruit characters of these varieties, with the linear structure of cabernet, the flesh...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This is a more restrained version of sauvignon blanc, so you're not getting that overt big tropical whack. What you're getting is a wine that displays some gentle fruit characters supported with fine acidity that sustains a precise and pure, slightly minerally palate through to the finish. I do like this style; it's eminently drinkable and ideal in the short...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

In a hot year like ’24 it is very useful to have access to your own vineyard south of Margaret River at Karridale. A small part of this was fermented in new French oak and it becomes immediately apparent on the nose. It adds a nutty complexity to the primary punchy fruit aromas and then into the palate where it...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

The impact and influence of a small amount of barrel fermentation is immediately apparent. Slightly nutty and creamy notes merge with the lively crunchy passionfruit of this variety. The palate is bright and punchy with a citrussy edge. Lifted, fine finish.

Geographe

Sauvignon Blanc

This consistently produces some terrific current drinking on release. It’s a lovely, perfumed, aromatic wine with fairly typical notes of tropical fruits and passionfruit, with a little squeeze of lemon to bring it to life. The palate has lovely pristine fruit purity with a slightly minerally, slatey character, and the finish is long. Excellent current drinking wine.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

One of the best Clementine releases yet, from a very good vintage. A blend of cabernet, merlot and malbec, it bursts with intensity, with florals, bay leaf and a blackcurrant-olive combination on the nose. The palate shows plush, bright fruit wrapped around a firm thread of chalky tannins, finishing effortlessly long.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This first-rate vintage has been expertly harnessed into a classy blend. It picks up the red fruits of malbec, which work seamlessly into the darker, more powerfully structured fruit of cabernet. Mulberry, plummy redcurrant and a fine chalky edge come together, while a subtle, slightly meaty blackcurrant note adds layered complexity. The palate is supple, juicy and generous, supported by...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

The key to this style using oak in the fermentation, is to strike the right balance. In this case it’s been nailed. The small amount of Frenc oak fermentation has added a dimension of richness and texture, while not getting too carried away. There is a neat blend of spices and herbs with a citrus, nutty, cream character. The palate...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

The fruit for this excellent savvy comes from Mandoon’s Karridale vineyard, south of Margaret River. It’s all about freshness and vibrancy, but after the first ferment, a small portion was matured in new French oak. That certainly brought a complex weave and some noticeable texture into the wine. This is a savvy that offers much more than your traditional fruit...

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

Juicy, plush, structured, and thoroughly delicious. What more could you want in a wine that sells for $20 and, quite frankly, should be selling for a whole lot more? Plenty of plump blackberry and plummy fruits on the nose, and then a palate that has a silky texture with ripe fruit, displaying great vibrancy and energy. This is a must-drink...

Margaret River

Rose

A neat little blend of cabernet and merlot capturing the light berry characters of strawberry and red currant with a slightly spicy note. It’s a fragrant opening that works through into a light dry palate. Has a slightly savoury and chalky mouth feel which offsets the fruit characters rather well.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

A terrific value red from a very good season. Bright, lively fruit shows good concentration and medium body, with loads of plummy blueberry notes on the nose. The palate brings blackberry, subtle fruitcake, and a hint of black olive. Less time in oak, but still, 15% new, adds a spicy lift. Well-structured and seamlessly integrated.

Pemberton

White Blend

If you think you’ve seen just about every example of sauvignon blanc and sémillon from this state, think again. This is an outstanding take on a blend that can sometimes be ho-hum, but in the right hands can be something special. Here, three clones of sauvignon blanc are co-fermented with 15% sémillon. The result is compelling: delightful lemon aromatics, subtle...

Western Australia

Cabernet Blend

This is a pretty good wine for one selling for not much more than $15. It's loaded with plenty of sweet ripe fruit displaying a more blackberry, blackcurrant character and a slightly lifted bay leaf, olive tapenade influence. The palate is quite plush and seamlessly smooth with the eight months in French oak. Neatly integrated.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Poised, balanced and thoroughly delicious medium bodied blend from Margs. Tonnes of red fruits merge with darker blackcurrant. There's a little of the regional black olive and bay leaf. Oak has been lightly applied and it works perfectly. Super value for a Margaret River wine.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This sits at the pinnacle of the Aravina range and is clearly the finest example yet released. A classic blend of cabernet, merlot, malbec, cabernet franc and petit verdot, each variety contributing to a complete and seamless whole. Powerful leafy blackcurrant and dark chocolate are lifted by a buoyant red fruit nuance. The palate is exquisitely defined and refined, with...

Great Southern

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a really well made young blended white from the Great Southern. Sure, it’s restrained in line with the vintage, but there is quite beautiful perfume and then a precise palate with a persistent light flavour. Has a crunchy lightly citrus and minerally feel with a little light nuttiness and a keen lip-smacking acid to lift on the crunchy...

Margaret River

Red Blend

An interesting wine that dips its toes into the Left and Right Banks of Bordeaux in terms of varietal sourcing. But it's a combination that works really well. The aromatics of the cab franc provide a lovely lift of floral notes and red berries, with the addition of the juicy, slightly leafy malbec. Palate is soft and supple, with lots...

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.

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.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

An interesting wine that offers a lot more than your simple sauvignon blanc fruit bomb. In fact the overt fruitiness is muted and instead you get more layers and intrigue from the combination of mandarin, spices and meal. It all comes from a small amount of oak which transforms it into something quite special.

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

There is so much to like about this cabernet. It started life with fermentation in amphora before maturation in French barriques for about five months. This technique has clearly had an influence because this is a quite exquisitely presented cabernet, seamlessly integrated, finely structured, and supremely refined. Aromas of blackcurrant, very subtle bay leaf, and black olive. And then a...

Margaret River

Red Blend

The classic classic from Margaret River. It's been around for years and consistently produces such a beautiful current-drinking wine. This release from the excellent 2025 vintage ticks all the boxes for the style. Bright red fruits on the nose with hints of dried herbs, red berries and light leaf. The palate is medium-bodied but has a plush generosity about it....

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Captures the perfect conditions of the ‘23 harvest. Crunchy and vibrant gooseberry and citrus merge to create a wine that screams for current drinking. It's juicy and lively with a fresh zingy finish. A faint flinty edge completes a very good wine.

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

Almost in a tropical fruit overload. Huge hit of passionfruit, melon and ripe gooseberry on the nose. Into the palate it comes alive with punchy vibrant fruit delivered pure and clean. Right on the money.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Really belts out some decent aromatics of tropical fruit and subtle grassy characters. Palate has plenty of sweet fruit with an intensity driven by a crisp and crunchy acid. A lift of citrus and passionfruit completes the picture. Ideal in the short term.

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...

Mount Barker

Shiraz Blend

This is a beautifully drinkable blend from Mount Barker. Loaded with ripe red and black fruits. Plummy blackcurrant and a trace of chalk dust across the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with good intensity. Strikes a fine oak and tannin balance that doesn’t dominate. An attractive current drinking wine with short-term cellaring potential.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

A wine that doesn't overplay sauvignon blanc's pungency, instead delivering the variety with finesse and restraint, reflecting the character of this vintage. Bright floral notes combine with delicate stone fruit aromas. The palate has lovely texture balanced by vibrant acidity, driving through to a clean, crisp finish.

Margaret River

White Blend

The deep textural power of chardonnay plays such an integral role in this excellent blend white from Margaret River. It’s intense and loaded with fruit yet doesn't have that overt tropical gooseberry character that can be altogether too much. The textural richness is heightened and deepened by time on yeast lees and then a small amount of oak maturation. Excellent...

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.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is 80% semillon. Has a nice a saline savoury briny character rather than the normal tropical gooseberry lift. It’s all unoaked and has plenty of weight on the palate albeit with a fine lifting acidity to sustain the finish. Stays on the back palate for a long time. Has done well in the show scene. This is mostly from...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

It's fair to say that sometimes sauvignon blancs can be consumed just a little early, and in good seasons like 2023, when the fruit has balance with lovely pure, pristine acidity and all the fruits you want, a little extra time in the bottle will improve it immeasurably. In this case, it has done just that. On the nose, there’s...

Margaret River

White Blend

Named in honour of Diana Madeline’s mother. This is about 85% sauvignon blanc and 15% semillon. About 63% of the savvy is matured in new French oak for 8 months. A very hot year, but the fruit has been handled well. It has good lively concentration with a tight rein on the palate from the oak and acid. Has a...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This has developed into something of a winner for Passel Estate over the years. It's based on some quite beautiful fruit, which retains a fresh, limey, citrus tang and wonderful vibrancy. And in this case, it's been supplemented with additional oak influence, handled with a deft touch, so the balance is retained and the vibrancy ensured. Has a lovely, juicy,...

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a wine that when it comes to the marriage of value for money and quality, never disappoints. It’s a vibrant and crunchy fruit-expressive wine with stacks of palate persistence sustained with a fine acidity and a little drizzle of citrus. Dry clean finish.

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

Don’t expect one of those Kiwi fruit bombs. This is a savvy with a subdued yet still intensity of flavour that makes it an interesting alternative to those very forward styles. Nectarine, light tropical nose and a hint of guava and a slight lemon zest to the finish combine to produce an excellent wine for immediate drinking. Love the textural...

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a single vineyard blend of 70% sauvignon blanc and the rest semillon. It was partially barrel fermented in new French oak. It’s a lighter-bodied style, yet there is tremendous power and intensity delivered with a certain degree of delicacy. A wine that shows what can be done with quality fruit and deft winemaking even in hot years such...
