There is a reason why this has picked up a little spread of medals and accolades - it's really rather handy wine, particularly now that it has reached five years of age. What those extra (welcome) years have done is to soften out the harder edges,...

Arguably the best wine in Barwick's White Label range, this shows much of the mid weight glory that good cool WA Cabernet can show. The only problem really is the white label. Why white? Deadly boring we see. Why not gold? At least a little bit se...

The White Label range sits about mid tier in the Barwick heirarchy, built to showcase fruit, though drier and more serious than the simpler 'Crush' label (which should be called bronze or wood or something else less tough). Anyway, this white b...

Produced entirely from the Blackwood Valley (which incidentally produces some great cherries) this savoury, though still sufficiently juicy, Shiraz even shows a little cherry flavours to in amongst all that earthen, dark olive fruit.

They've scoured high and low for the grapes for this red, from the beautiful Blackwood Valley to Margaret River to Pemberton in the cool south of WA. All this blending eventually brings together a very friendly medium bodied red blend that combine...

There is a secret ingredient in this pink wine. A secret ingredient that few people know about... No it's not some illicit drug, nor a mysterious super metal. What it contains is simple... Chardonnay. Yes Chardonnay! The peachy white grape ...

It's a simple sort of wine this one, a white blend of juicy soft sort of fruit boosted up with a dash of residual sugar. Easy wine for easy consumption.

You don’t have to be an expert in Morse Code to decipher that this wine is a cracking example of Padthaway Shiraz. Its heady with blackcurrant, prune and licorice, a medium bodied palate that’s rich with berry fruit, a lick of mint and a soft rou...

It always seems curious that Merlot plays second fiddle to Shiraz in the Coonwarra hierarchy. Perhaps it is the less famous stature of Merlot in the scheme of Australian wine or perhaps it is because Merlot can be a fickle beast. Either way the re...

A lovely simple pink wine this one with a very bright colour and a whole lot of red fruit sweetness, all rounded out with a hint of Mudgee earth. Pleasant stuff.

What does an ultra-cool season do to grapes you wonder? It makes them crunchier. A crunch that makes the wines tauter, racier, with more acidity, less grape sweetness and firmer lines. It's like putting a wine on a strict diet one year. The net...

Arguably Mudgee's premier grape (along with Chardonnay and Shiraz), it's in pretty classic form with this wine - a full bodied, yet earthen and savoury, blackberry drenched sort of wine that has structure a go-go. It's unequivocally a red wine dri...

It's a rather well established blend is the Margaret River Semillon Sauvignon Blanc, a wine that has always been about the texture and palate of Semillon with the nose of Sauvignon Blanc. What makes the best wines though is actually dead simple. F...

Coonawarra Chardonnay is something of an awkward beast really, a wine that will always live in the shadows because it is... not red. Yes that's right, not red. For everything in Coonawarra is red. The dirt is red. The dust is red. The wines are...

Sadly in this quest there are no knights, no dragons to slay or any fair maidens to vanquish (or such). There is an end goal though and for Chalice Bridge that is genuine regional wines produced on a budget. Here that means a medium bodied, quite ...

The Quest is a noble one in this case, aiming to make seriously tasty, regional wines at an entirely fair price. They've done rather well with this Shiraz too which has no shortage of the dusty medium bodied flavours that good Margaret River Shira...

What a mouthful of a name this is. Estate Vineyard Quest etc. Behind the lengthy nomenclature though lies a rather sprightly wine. A sprightly Cabernet, from a good vintage in Margaret River and drawn off what is now some quite mature vineyards. A...

Sourced from the organic J&J single vineyard site on Rivers lane in the heart of the Mclaren Vale this is the first of many Rivers Lane series wines to be released. The 2009/10 growing season was the best seen in over a decade. The long, even ri...

Grant Burge is one of the enduring Characters of the Barossa Valley, famed for making a range of wines from everyday drinkers through to super premium drops for special occasions. Whether we are have a special occasion or not we rarely need an exc...

The fruit for this wine was sourced from Temple Bruer’s vineyard in Langhorne Creek. It was harvested early in the morning, crushed, chilled and pressed into tank for cold settling. Fermentation was complete within three weeks. Following this the ...
