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'.
Forester Estate Little Sweetie Sem Sauv Blanc
A rich and harmonious palate that is soft, silky and just a little sweet. There are ripe tropical fruit flavours of papaya, guava, rockmelon and passionfruit with hints of grass and fennel. The wine has a soft and sweet finish with lingering tropical fruit characters.
Swinney Frankland River Riesling
This dazzling riff on Frankland River Riesling is drawn from hand-selected fruit from two of Swinney’s oldest blocks. Vibrant kumquat and mandarin orange aromas with a touch of basil. Sleek, crisp and focused with tons of stony energy driving the long, precise finish.
Plantagenet Angevin Great Southern Riesling
Intensely aromatic, showing white flowers, jasmine and fragrant lime. Tightly wound acidity underpins an incredible purity of fruit with fresh finger lime and lemon curd notes. Fine phenolic structure and wet stone minerality provide drive and a crisp, dry finish with great length.
Permission to Pivot Great Southern Pinot Gris
This luscious Pinot Gris comes from the ‘Rogue Vintner’, who plays by his own rules using fruit from WA’s wild and beautiful Great Southern region, which produces unique wines of scintillating flavour. The result? A dazzling drop you’ll turn to again and again. The Rogue Vintner is Matt Herde, a non-conformist wine marketer who sources the kinds of wines he likes to drink from all over Australia. He has no ties to regions, no restrictions, no limits; the only rules are flavour, balance and intrigue. His ‘Permission to Pivot’ Pinot Gris is a gorgeous mouthful of apple and pear with a fragrant touch of white florals and a zippy hit of citrus. It’s the kind of wine you splash around at a long, lazy lunch...or serve at a swishy dinner where fine seafood is involved. Permission to Pivot? Granted!

This is a WA producer to keep your eyes one. This stunning Riesling is sourced from their Bates Rock vineyard. It has apple blossom and citrus aromas, while the palate shows a softly textured, crisp style with subtle mineral undertones.
Lange Estate Providence Road Great Southern Chardonnay
From the Lange family estate and vineyard situated in the picturesque Frankland River, tucked away in the far northwestern corner of the Great Southern. “This is a potent Chardonnnay of power and presence. Toasty whiffs with cedar and clove spice, some rich, hazelnut elements, ripe citrus, red apple and rockmelon in tow. The palate similar to the bouquet, bold and spicy, laden with woody seasoning and generous to a tee. In all that, the balance works well” (Halliday).
