Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This turned out to be a very good year for these aromatic varieties and here is the quintessential expression of this famous blend. Lifted lemon and melon with a splash of passionfruit and a slice of pear on the nose. The palate is crunchy and lively with a zingy acidity sustaining the long finish. Right on the money for this...

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The influence of a barrel fermented portion is evident immediately on the nose. It introduces a high degree of complexity with a nutty creamy character complementing the vibrant intensity of the sauvignon blanc and semillon. A striking minerality cuts deep through the palate taking it to a very long finish. Has all the pieces to compete a medium erm cellaring...

Blackwood Valley

Sauvignon Blanc

This Blackwood Valley vineyard produces really exciting, vibrant, punchy, aromatic whites, and this is a classic example. Bursting with lemon zest and floral, tropical notes on the nose, with a touch of cut pear. The palate is zippy, with beautiful, racy, lifted acidity driving through to a long finish. A perfect summer drink.

Western Australia

A punchy and crunchy little number loaded with all manner of tropical fruits on the nose and palate. Aromas deliver a burst of racy citrus and passionfruit with a little gooseberry. The palate has a mouthwatering acidity carrying all those tropical goodies to a long clean finish.

Margaret River

White Blend

This is a quite beautiful expression of the SBS blend out of Margaret River. Combines a balanced mix of tropical fruits and light herbaceousness that sit so comfortably together. But it’s the palate where it really hits its straps. Clean, generous flavours, revealing more of those lightly tropical gooseberry notes, and that final herbaceous flick on the finish completes a...

Margaret River

Red Blend

This is a 50th-anniversary release for Gralyn. It's a combination of cabernet, shiraz and malbec. The colour is quite brilliant, with a pinkish ruby-red tone. The nose has delightful florals with cherries and chocolate, a little violet and some rose-petal nuances. The palate is light-bodied, with a fruit sweetness balanced with excellent spirit and some fine natural acidity. It's a...

Western Australia

White Blend

Hits the mark for a lively, fresh and highly drinkable combination, displaying all the lifted tropical citrus fruits that you want. Presented on a bright and zingy palate. Has a crunchy, minerally acidity that lifts through to a long finish. Succulent and crunchy with a delicious palate. Ideal for drinking in the short term.

Margaret River

Red Blend

This is a Bordeaux-type blend that is largely cabernet with smaller percentages of merlot and cab franc. It was a good season in Margaret River, and this has flowed through into this medium-bodied and highly flavoursome, beautifully poised cabernet blend. Highly aromatic with floral violet notes and red berry, and just a trace of blackberry and plum on the palate....

Western Australia

White Blend

A neat punchy little number with plenty of zip and zing. Lively tropical and slightly grassy notes on the nose with a precise and flavoursome tropical fruit and melony citrus combination on the palate. It’s ready to go now but another year or two would add a little palate complexity.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This is a superb example of the style, made from some of the oldest semillon and sauvignon blanc vines in the region. It displays engaging fruit intensity with vibrant energy, supported by gentle use of oak, striking a really perfect balance with a slightly creamy texture and fine, persistent lemony acidity for energy and lift through to the finish. Drinking...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

Its pale onion-skin, copper hue signals the style. Made from cabernet, it has a subtle leafy note, but savoury, textured fruit defines the palate. A classic Provence-style rosé, it offers surprising depth and flavour, with texture carrying through to a long finish. Terrific drinking while young.

Margaret River

White Blend

A really punchy fruit-driven sem sav blanc that captures much of what this style was all about when it first appeared in the region. Loads of vibrant, very much alive tropical fruit with a decent citrus splash. It's got a lively sustaining acidity and it makes for great current drinking.

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Plenty of intriguing characters and nuances swirling through this fume style sauvignon blanc. The underlying notes passionfruit and tropical fruit are still evident but then the oak introduces other characters of flinty minerals and a slightly smoky nutty nuance. Rich creamy texture but a firm hand guides to a long finish.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

These southern vineyards in Margaret River are ideally suited to this classic blend. This wine has vibrancy and purity, with pristine fruit characters that combine the slightly lemony, grassy notes of semillon with the tropical and passionfruit characters of sauvignon blanc. It delivers minerality and crisp acidity, with a fine lift of citrus on the finish. Subtle herbaceousness adds another...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Here is a perfect illustration of how you can get sauvignon blanc in a pretty good year, expose it to some partial barrel fermentation, and achieve something quite special. It retains its obvious stone fruit characters on the nose, but with some fine nutty, citrusy influences that herald a wine of some complexity. It has a crunchy, lively, and quite...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Few winemakers capture such complexity and intrigue with sauvignon blanc as Stuart Pym, and he's done it again with this excellent wine. As always, he uses oak in the process, and it creates such a compelling and engaging combination on the nose. Lemony, nutty characters merge with the punchy tropical fruit of the variety, along with that little gooseberry lick....

Geographe

White Blend

A neat little current drinking wine that combines freshness and flavour with a crunchy, lively palate. Typical of the year, there's a degree of delicacy with a melony citrus character that opens on the nose and then threads through to a palate where a crunchy citrus, lemony zip adds to the very subtle tropical passionfruit nuance. It's a lighter-bodied example...

Margaret River

White Blend

This intriguing interpretation of a sauvignon blanc dominant wine was introduced just a few years ago. I have loved it from the start. Has about 10 per cent semillon in it, but it is the savvy which really dominates. There are the usual tropical, guava and slightly passionfruit lemony characters of sauvignon blanc but then other secondary characters of spices...

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

This has been a distinctive and complex style from Willow Bridge over a number of years, and this one, from a very good vintage, is as good as I have seen. Made traditionally with whole bunch pressing, wild fermentation, and then three months in French oak. It adds texture and complexity, but in this case, it's certainly not overdone. The...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Punchy, fruit-driven, savvy, capturing all the beautiful aromatics and flavours you expect with this variety. Aromas of light tropical fruit, a little gooseberry and passionfruit. A little trim of cut grass and fresh mown hay. On the palate, a decent splash of citrus lifts the fruit through to a zingy long finish. Delightful current drinking wine.

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...

Swan Valley

Chenin Blanc

Griffiths introduced this wine a few years ago, and you can immediately see the essential difference between this and the standard chenin. The richness and weight on the palate, along with the added complexity, are immediately apparent. It captures all that’s good about chenin blanc, with bright acidity, intense fruitiness, and, with the pressings, another layer of immense appeal. A...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

So delicate yet with so much flavour. This is a wonderful product of the '23 vintage. Loads of fragrant tropical aromas with a dash of citrus. But the key is a little bit of barrel maturation which takes it to another level of interest and appeal. It's just a tweak but it works beautifully.

Margaret River

White Blend

Captures the vibrancy and fruit intensity that is part of this combination's natural DNA. Tropical fruits with a little gooseberry and lemon pie characters on the nose. The palate is flavoursome with nice weight and texture. Fine acid sits neatly in the background. Lots to like about this little fella.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

The complexity is immediately evident on the nose of this classic Margaret River combination. Part of each variety was wild fermented in oak, and this has added some lovely aromatics and a textural feel that sets it apart from the standard versions. Lightly nutty, with floral notes and a little citrus edge coming from the refreshing palate. Excellent concentration and...

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

Sauvignon Blanc

Sauvignon blanc that takes you into another zone. Full malolactic fermentation contributes to its rich generous creamy texture while the use of oak, with about 6% new, adds a defining lift through the palate. The nose offers all manner of things from melon, spices and pear with a varietal gooseberry note. On the palate you get into even more, with...

Margaret River

Cabernet Sauvignon

This is heady stuff pushing a Margaret River cabernet into the rarefied air of Grange and Hill of Grace and at the same time making a statement about this great cabernet region. The fruit was naturally fermented and then had 13 weeks in terracotta amphorae before pressing to second fill oak. So, the oak influence is subdued but important in...

Margaret River

Sauvignon Blanc

Now I do like this wine. After two picking runs to retain acidity and add fruit depth, the wine was whole bunch pressed and fermented in amphora and larger format oak with 10 months and partial secondary fermentation. The nose captures the fresh saline citrus characters of this variety with just a faint hint of green apple and sliced pear....

Margaret River

White Blend

Crunchy, vibrant, juicy, flavoursome. These are just some of the terms you might use to describe this delightfully friendly blend of sauvignon blanc and semillon. On the nose, the passionfruit, gooseberry, citrus thing is so engaging, and then the palate has a real zingy crispness about it, slightly crunchy, with a clean, crisp, refreshing finish. Ideal to drink now or...

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

Sauvignon Blanc

This is a lovely example of sauvignon blanc. To a degree, it's understated and subtle, but it has some lovely fruit intensity. The nose shows a gentle, creamy, tropical character, with a fine, spicy citrus edge. The palate is creamy and smooth, with a light lift of citrus tang. It has such a pristine and pure feel about it, and...

Margaret River

White Blend

This wine was first launched into the market 40 years ago. And it remains one of the signature styles and examples of this blend from Margaret River. It’s always controlled and never over the top, with a nice combination of the dominant lemony semillon with the more aromatic, fruity sauvignon blanc. It all knits neatly together, producing a wine that...

Margaret River

White Blend

A pure and delightful expression of this great value for money and highly drinkable style from Margaret River. Loaded with a tropical fruit and a lightly herbaceous combination of fruits. Has a clean and crisp zingy finish. Ready for current drinking.

Margaret River

White Blend

A wine that reflects the consistently good fruit being sourced off this vineyard. In this case, it has a small amount of barrel fermentation in new French oak, and that's immediately apparent on the nose with that slightly nutty, tropical fruit emerging. The palate is quite superb. It's textured and rich in flavour but delivers with a deft lightness of...

Margaret River

Malbec

The colour of this wine is quite extraordinary. It’s so deep, dark, and dense, and yet it retains an elegance and vibrant lift that speaks of this variety. Extended skin contact and maturation in French oak deliver a rich dark fruit core lifted by rhubarb crumble and savoury floral notes. An excellent wine.

Western Australia

White Blend

There aren’t too many better value-for-money white wines in WA. This is a blend of Margaret River semillon and sauvignon blanc, and it comes together in an integrated and thoroughly seamless mix. Bright tropical fruits on the nose, cut of lemon, a little spice, and a sustained lift on the finish. Just perfect for summer drinking.

Margaret River

White Blend

A terrific value SSB blend showing racy, zesty fruit characters. Light-bodied with good flavour intensity and a clean, crisp finish. Nails the style and offers excellent value.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

You know you're in Margaret River from the first wave on the nose. Citrusy spice, and loads of zesty, limey passionfruit. This is simply made as a drink now no-brainer, and it delivers perfectly on what you want. All tropical, yet with a degree of delicacy, and a fresh, zingy finishing acidity.

Margaret River

Semillon Sauvignon Blanc

From the get-go the immediate pungency of generous semillon and sauvignon blanc in perfect sync is obvious. Loads of stone fruit and gooseberry with a little passion fruit edginess combined neatly. The palate is flavoursome with a refreshing, clean acidity to sustain. It's a wine that's ideally suited for drinking over the next couple of years while it retains its...
