Amelia Park Trellis Chardonnay
Wild-yeast fermented, and matured in French oak for 6 months. What's the catch, other than a plenitude of Margaret River chardonnay? It's varietal, it's balanced and it's long. Fantastic value. Alcohol: 12.5%. Closure: screwcap. Date tasted: Aug 2022. Drink by: 2026. Price: $18. Rating: 94/100.
Franklin Tate Estates Shiraz
The Tate name is synonymous with Margaret River after John Tate helped create arguable the regions most well-known winery, Evans & Tate. Today, Franklin Tate has brought the Tate name back to life with new, exciting terroir driven wines. Franklin painstakingly selected the very best vineyard sites, those that held unique micro-sites within them to enable him to achieve his goal of producing some of the regions best wines. This Shiraz was picked at optimum ripeness and fermented with 10% whole bunch. French barriques were used in the fermentation process to give a softness to the palate, as was a small percentage of Viognier. The result is a great Margaret River Shiraz with grounded savoury notes along with ripeness and spicy lift.

Bright Straw.Honeydew and rock melon mix with tropical guava, apples, and soft stone fruit. Ripe fruit bonanza. Cooked pear and cooking spices like cinnamon and vanilla give this wine depth and complexity. Finishing with hints of orange peel. Quietly complex and delicious.

Devils Lair Honeybomb Chardonnay
A well structured wine offering both elegance and generosity of flavour. Stone fruits mingled with toasted nuts provide a complex array of flavours over a core citrus backbone.
Devil's Lair Honeybomb Semillon Sauvignon Blanc
The Honeybomb Semillon Sauvignon Blanc is a punchy and textural expression of a Margaret River SSB. It is very much in the Devil's Lair playground, experimenting with a small percentage of oak and lees work to add complexity whilst respecting varietal aromatics and purity. Defined by a mineral edge (quartz comes to mind) and muddled lime with a zesty line and salivating acidity layered with elements of starfruit and nashi pear like texture captured from a small barrel ferment component.Devil’s Lair senior winemaker Ben Miller’s enthusiasm for wine is extraordinary. Growing up in the Hunter Valley, he was encouraged to be adventurous, curious and hard working. It was playing rugby in many of the world’s winemaking regions, travelling and working through New Zealand, France, Spain, Portugal, US, Italy, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale and Margaret River that sparked a further love of wine. He’s now settled in Margaret River where he has the 'opportunity to work on the land and create something that speaks of its place'.
