Louis Moreau Chablis 1er Cru Vaillons
Domaine William Fevre Chablis
Benjamin Leroux Bourgogne Aligoté
Leeuwin Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
A concentrated dark fruit spectrum with an abundance of ripe blackcurrants, cherries and a hint of cassis. Coffee bean, dark chocolate and black olives lie beneath. Subtle dustiness combines with a seductive violet lift, enhancing the varietal fragrance and increasing complexity. A dense and layered palate with incredible texture. The generosity of the palate is carefully laced with a fine and structural acid line. Dark cherries and currants weave through smokey and mocha notes, finishing with long tactile tannins.
Castelli iL Liris Chardonna Denmark
The 2022 vintage of Castelli iL Liris Chardonnay from Great Southern is a true representation of the region's terroir. Upon pouring, the wine's pale gold hue immediately catches the eye, hinting at the elegance and finesse to come. On the nose, delicate aromas of white peach, lemon curd, and vanilla intermingle with subtle hints of toasted almond and a touch of flint. The palate is equally impressive, with a creamy texture and a perfect balance of ripe fruit and crisp acidity. Flavors of ripe pear, citrus, and a touch of honey unfold on the palate, leading to a long, lingering finish. This wine is a testament to the Castelli family's commitment to producing top-quality wines in Western Australia. Enjoy it now or cellar for a few years to experience its full potential.
Flametree SRS Chardonnay
A fine and quite flinty modern expression of Margaret River Chardonnay. Finer and leaner it might be in some ways, but the unmistakable power and persistence of the region still triumphs. Complex mealy grapefruit and roasted nut characters on the nose, and a deep and richly intense palate power through to the finish.
Wills Domain Cuvée d' Élevage Shiraz
Dense aromas of plum pudding, dried apricots and eastern spice introduce a voluptuous palate, boasting silky tannin, delicate hints of fresh summer berries and earthier tones of toasted oak and freshly cracked allspice. The wine has a clean, persistent acid line, with lingering red berries, white pepper and vanilla pod. Ray Jordans Best Shiraz in his 2016 Wine guide.
Woodlands Margaret Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
Woodlands were one of the 'first wave' of wineries to set up in the Margaret River in the early 1970s and today that heritage is in the capable hands of Andrew and Stuart Watson, sons of the pioneering David. The Margaret Cabernet Merlot displays aromas of rosemary, leather and spice winding through blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. The palate is a reflection of the nose, and is bolstered by eucalypt, bay leaf and cranberry flavours.
