Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Made as a bright and fresh blended white, but with a little oak adding complexity, especially on the palate. Light lemon and fragrant tropical notes on the nose. The palate is held close, with the lightly applied oak sitting snugly within. Impressively concentrated and intense with a lifted, racy finish. Excellent wine.

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

Cabernet Franc

Perhaps not the aromas and perfume you might expect from cabernet franc, but in this warm year, it's resulted in a wine of richness and power that provides another expression of this variety. Red and black fruit notes with a little Cherry Ripe-type influence. The palate is generous and concentrated, and slightly medium-bodied, so it's a wine of elegance and...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Precise yet intensely flavoursome blended white that captures the style and the vintage perfectly. It’s less of a fruit bomb has more a wine of the savoury minerality that keeps it fresh, lively and interesting. This is the style that can bring people back to this blend. You could drink a bit of this and never get bored.

Margaret River

White Blend

Fresh, racy, zippy, and crunchy. This is your quintessential SBS from Margaret River. From organically grown fruit it shows lovely brightness on the nose with crunchy passionfruit and citrus. The palate picks up a little more lemony tang, retaining its vibrant energy through to the finish. Clean and crisp with fine acidity.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

If you like your sauvignon blanc with a little more restraint and control than the traditional Kiwi styles, then this little guy sits snugly in your style range. Tropical fruits, gooseberry and citrus, all with an element of restrained control. Then a palate that delivers more of that fruit, but with a fine, minerally, crunchy acidity giving it a refreshing,...

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

The interesting thing about this savvy from Albany is the use of lees stirring. A regular weekly program of lees stirring has built in texture, complexity and further richness to create a really attractive style that combines the natural zesty fruit freshness with an extra level of intrigue. Crisp and long palate with plenty of those snow pea gooseberry flavours.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Quite beautiful sauvignon blanc displaying those fresh tropical fruit characters with a liberal sprinkling of dried herbs. The palate is textured and flavoursome with a stone fruit and edgier cut lime nuances balanced and pure. This is great current drinking.

Margaret River

Cabernet Blend

This is an excellent wine. It is a blend of largely cabernet with smaller contributions from malbec and petit verdot. It is seamless with the generosity of the fruit cascading over the fine thread of oak and tannin. Plush black fruits with some nice darker plum and black olive influences. Has a bright and very lively palate that bursts through...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Made in a similar way to the standard savvy, but gets an extra six months in the mix of demi-muid and ceramic egg vessels. Lifted gooseberry with a pebbly vanilla bean and stone fruit combo in the nose. The palate reveals more minerally and savoury notes which complement the rich texture. Sustained acidity and a fine flinty edge completes a...

Margaret River

White Blend

The classic Margaret River blend, with that subtle combination of light tropical fruits and a dusting of fresh cut grass. The fruit is restrained in line with this vintage, but it presents with a refreshing purity sustained by a zingy acidity. Light bodied and ready to drink now.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Oh yes. First sniff and you know you’re in the savvy zone. Bursting with vibrant fresh passionfruit and apply characters with a decent hit of citrus/ The palate is lively with punchy fruit flavours showing those slightly gooseberry and minerally herbal notes. Zingy acid completes an excellent wine. This is a pure savvy, but there’s a little more here in...

Margaret River

Cabernet Franc

Cabernet franc was a variety well suited to the longer, cooler, and quite beautiful 2023 vintage. It certainly allowed those lovely aromatic perfumes and floral characters to emerge. The palate is refined and elegant, capturing the vintage brilliantly. It also has substance and power, delivered with fine tannins, judicious oak use, and beautiful fruit expression. Lovely drinking now, but with...

Mount Barker

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A zesty and bright blended white that just asks to be drunk in the next 12 months. Bright tropical and grassy characters with a little cut grass and light snow pea. Finishes crunchy and lively with a crisp acidity.

Mount Barker

Sauvignon Blanc

Crunchy, vibrant and refreshing, this is a zingy, pure expression of sauvignon blanc from the Great Southern. Lifted aromas of tropical fruit, gooseberry and citrus lead into a finely controlled palate with excellent flavour intensity. Bright fruit is held together by crisp, precise acidity, making for a thoroughly enjoyable savvy.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Since its first release some years ago, I’ve been a fan of this wine. I love the way it’s structured, the balance between the intensity of the Karridale fruit and the oak, which builds both texture and complexity to create a wine of real class and expression. This vintage delivers a mix of citrus, dried herbs, and slightly nutty tropical...

Margaret River

White Blend

This blend of semillon and sauvignon blanc has come up well from this very hot vintage, displaying bright lively fruit aromas and flavours. Aromas of dried herbs and light tropical notes to open. Then a pure and slightly crystalline palate takes you through to a long finish. A wine for immediate drinking.

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

Sourced from Albany and left on skins for four days before being pressed off to a mix of 20% new oak and all the rest older oak barriques. Creates a more neutral but still flavoursome wine. Has a slightly reductive sweaty character. The fume oak influence mutes the aromatics but retains a beautiful palate feel.

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

This is a style that I like to see after a couple of years in bottle and this one shows just why that is important. An excellent example of the fume style that comes from France's Loire. This one had been perfectly handled with the oak infusion never intruding and sitting comfortably as a complement to the fruit. It's sauvignon...

Western Australia

White Blend

Captures the brightness and flavours of the ’26 vintage very nicely. Aromas immediately strike with a strong citrus-passionfruit combination, with a little melon. The palate is punchy and flavoursome, with crisp acidity and a nice edge of lime cutting through to the finish. Ideal as a current-drinking wine.

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

A burst of tropical fruit with a lift of dried herbs, citrus and a little sherbet greet initially. This is a crisp and fresh young blend that offers plenty of current drinking. Has good intensity through the palate with a lingering satisfying finish.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a blended white with a fair bit of class. It’s pungent and intense on the nose, extending through to a crisp intensely flavoured palate. The vibrant bursts of fruit are complemented by some nice barrel fermentation influences which add so much texture and palate richness. Great drinking now but has a few years to see it develop further...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

This is simply a gorgeous current drinking blend that shows the admirable virtues of these two varieties from Margaret River in a good season where fruit concentration was a feature. Has that delightful mix of passionfruit and other tropical guava infused tropical characters. It's a pure unoaked wine that is perfect for current drinking.

Blackwood Valley

Cabernet Blend

This is a beautiful blend of 70% cabernet and 30% merlot. Positively sings from the nose of perfumed red fruits, a little cedarwood and a deeper blackcurrant character. Fine chalky tannins integrate perfectly to support the palate which is smooth and seamless with a delicious juicy vibrance. It’s bright and lively with a high energy that is evident immediately. Excellent...

Margaret River

Cabernet Franc

The generosity of this vintage seems to have been well suited to cabernet franc. This is a wine with texture and palate richness delivered with finesse. Varietal perfumes open with red and blackcurrant characters merging with a subtle oyster shell minerality. Smooth and vibrant juicy palate is supported by powdery tannins. There is great energy here. A terrific wine.

Margaret River

White Blend

For many years, this has been one of the most distinctive Cape Mentelle wines. It’s a blend of 91% sauvignon blanc with the remainder semillon, made in a white Bordeaux style using barrel fermentation and maturation in oak, with a portion matured in concrete egg and clay amphora. The aroma is deeply complex from the start, with a nutty, lemony,...

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.

Mount Barker

Sauvignon Blanc

This comes from the Langton Vineyard just out of Mount Barker, and it captures the variety quite beautifully. It's a more restrained expression of sauvignon blanc, but on the nose, you get the classic citrus and gooseberry notes with just a faint hint of cut grass. The palate is crisp and clean with a pure vibrancy that extends to a...

Margaret River

Red Blend

This is consistently one of the best-value wines released in Western Australia. It’s a blend of shiraz, cabernet and malbec. The colour is a vibrant, deep red, almost black. The nose is incredibly intense, with lively fruit characters mixing black and blue fruit, while the palate is sumptuous and plush, with rich flavours supported by quite fine tannins. Such a...

Great Southern

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

Such a pure and pristine example of this style. Has a slightly dusty snow pea and light tropical fruit influence on the nose. Crunchy melon and a splash of citrus adds lift as it moves to a long penetrating finish. There’s great depth of flavour here. Offers a lot more than the standard fruit bomb.

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...

Pemberton

Sauvignon Blanc

A punchy vibrant savvy loaded with all the goodies you expect from this variety. The aromas of gooseberry and slightly herbaceous citrussy notes are classically varietal. There’s a trace of minerality to bring things to life. A clean crisp acidity completes a current drinking wine.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A style that stretches back to the earliest wines made here. Bright, lively, and abundantly fruited, with a crisp, zesty thread through to the finish. Clean, pure, and delightful for current drinking.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

A neatly balanced light boded blend of these two varieties that sit so harmoniously together. The notes of lime and subtle red apple with light passionfruit emerge on the nose. The palate picks them up and adds a nice crunchy acidity to sustain a long finish. This is such good current drinking.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Wow, this really zips across the palate. It has crunchy fresh acidity with vibrant, zingy passionfruit and a citrus tang, finishing with a fine, lingering line. This is a savvy, but not a big blousy one. It’s got flavour, intensity, and a linear structure. To me, this is how sauvignon blanc should be made in Margaret River. A cracking good...

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a really well made 75/25 blend in this super season for white varieties. A 22% portion was wild fermented in new French oak and there was regular lees stirring of all components over three months. Nice lemony aromas with a faint hint of gooseberry. The palate is textured and intensely flavoured with the oak neatly weighted in support....

Pemberton

White Blend

Oh my, this is a wonderful example of this classic WA blend. The cooler climes of Pemberton and this great vintage have combined to produce such vibrant high energy fruit. Beautifully balanced and presented blend of 85% sauvignon blanc and 15% semillon. Lip-smacking flavours of citrus and guava with a crunchy tart pear edge on the finish. With all the...

Great Southern

Sauvignon Blanc

A pure and fragrant wine with the usual gooseberry and lightly crunchy passionfruit and tropical flavours balanced with a light snow pea citrus tang. Really zingy fresh palate makes this perfect for summer sipping by the pool.
