Wine Summary

Golden delight. A charmingly beautiful scent with peach, apricot, vanilla and white spices. Flavours of nectarine, apple, pear, citrus peel, white pepper and a touh of vanilla. A deft touch of old French oak adds extra complexity and a wonderfully rich and round mouthfeel. The name comes from the native Bearded Dragon lizards that often find their way into grapes destined for the winery, but fortunately are spared a terrible fate because of the gentleness of the grape crusher that allows them to scurry away to safety.

Wine Summary

Situated within the traditional lands of the Taungurung people, tabilk-tabilk means ‘place of many waterholes', a name that aptly describes the abundance of the landscape. Tahbilk is a founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, it was also the proud recipient of James Halliday’s Winery of the Year award in 2016. Its renowned Marsanne, steely when young, silkily textured with time, are an absolute must-try, and this 2021 vintage is "… a deadset gold medal... 95pts. Great Value" (James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion). Be enthralled by intense lemon, lime and tropical aromas, honeysuckle and spicy notes with a steely minerality.

Wine Summary

In 1920, wine lover Reg Purbrick was offered a glass of brandy from Château Tahbilk. Five years later, he purchased the property unseen! Reg's son Eric inherited his father's love of wine and, during the Great Depression, he gave up a law degree to decamp to Oz and take up the reins at Tahbilk. Three generations later, Hayley Purbrick is in charge of sustainability, while her father, Alistair, runs the estate. Since 1995, they've looked hard at sustainability and are just one of 8 wineries worldwide to be classified carbon neutral. Their 160 hectares of regenerated wetland and native vegetation are beneficial to the climate, as well as offering trails for all to enjoy. They also boast Shiraz vines dating to 1860. This classic and uniquely Australian blend is awash with red fruit, spice and savoury notes “… ever-reliable… positively so” says Jane Faulkner in The Halliday Wine Companion. Huon Hooke in The Real Review adds that it is "elegantly crafted… An elegant thoroughbred with some cool-climate attributes. Extra Value here".

Wine Summary

Taylors are a founding member of Australia’s First Family of Wines and are “managing to do for the Clare Valley what Peter Lehmann did for the Barossa” with “a rich haul of Trophies and Golds at all price points” (Halliday). Bill Taylor, grandfather of the current custodian, Mitchell, first set foot on the estate on the same day that Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, in 1969. Three generations later, Taylors has a worldwide reputation for excellence.They've also been voted one of the Top 5 Wineries in the World (for the fourth successive year). The award comes from the World Association of Writers and Journalists of Wines and Spirits (WAWWJ) who combine the results of the top 75 International Wine contests across five continents. In fact, in 2018 the estate was rated the ‘No. 1 Most Awarded Winery in the World’ by this body. Look forward to subtle aromas of cedar and dark chocolate, great intensity with distinctive blackcurrant and cassis fruit flavours. The palate is well balanced, complex and fulfilling and lingers on the finish.

Wine Summary

Fruit ripeness, power and finesse comes together in Howard’s Park’s Great Southern offering. Pepper and aniseed mingle with brambly dark fruits on the nose. Plums, blackberries and mulberries combine with pepper, bay leaf, tobacco and leather on the palate. 2018 was a great vintage for the region and this has a “ peppery fruit intensity... 92pts” (Erin Larkin, Halliday Wine Companion). “The palate opens with a good punch of blue fruits then rolls into a meaty and graphite-mineral savoury edge. Good flow and fine tannins give the wine a sense of length and focus. A lot to like here at the price... 92pts” (Stuart Knox The Real Review).

Wine Summary

Throughout the Margaret River, an extensive array of varietal expressions of both Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon proliferate. A treasure trove of diversity and choice has allowed the regions signature white blend to thrive. One of the region's best value examples is the spectacular 93pt Howard Park's Miamup. Sauvignon Blanc‘s vibrant flavours of ruby grapefruit, quince and finger lime accentuated by Semillon’s structure, texture and citrus driven acidity. A lively yet soft lime zest and chalk-like minerality delivers a bright, clean finish. Drink with charred octopus. "A stylish wine... 93pts. Great Value" (Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion). "inviting and fresh.the finish satisfying… attractively, ripely varietal" adds Huon Hooke in The Real Review.
