Sitting atop a high hill in the heart of the Hunter Valley, Bimbadgen have been producing quality wines like their Verdelho since 1968. Pineapple and tropical fruits arise on the nose followed by a citrus and troplical palate with lovelly herbal notes on the finish.

Bernoota was the original name of the Lake Breeze homestead and now the Bernoota Shiraz Cabernet is rightfully considered to be one of Australia's favourite Shiraz Cabernet blends. And they don't come much better than Bernoota for the price! Not only is it rich and luscious, filled with blackcurrant, spice and pepper, it has a touch of dark chocolate on the finish. The 2009 is a 60% Shiraz and 40% Cabernet blend and spends 20 months in a mixture of French and American Oak that will see the wine not only be enjoyable now, but develop beautifully in the bottle for a further 8 to 10 years.

Welcome to tiny Lake Breeze, officially named Australia’s Champion Small Winery, Producer of the Year, and winner of 37 TROPHIES and 134 GOLD MEDALS since 1994, loved by customers and critics alike. “Greg Follett weaves a little magic every time...” (The Adelaide Advertiser). “The quality of the Lake Breeze wines is exemplary, with the red wines particularly appealing ...” (James Halliday). “Like Greg Follett, the Lake Breeze wines are unassuming but quietly impressive. Never doubt the value they represent...” (Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine). Dive in to the deep, dark flavours of this classically rich and velvety full-flavoured Shiraz rarity, created using a combination of old vine fruit and careful winemaking.

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (Halliday). Among many major awards, they’ve won the Jimmy Watson Trophy and winemaker Paul Hotker, a “master blender”, was named Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year 2018. "Unfussed cabernet at its fragrant cassis-lifted best. Barely any oak gets in the way of its pure fruit expression, with classical regional chocolate notes more important in the overall sense of the palate. But every new sip starts with that cabernet aroma and finishes with its spicy tannins, and that's always a joy... 92pts... Great Value" (Tony Love, Halliday Wine Companion).

The winery was recently shortlisted for Best Value Winery 2023 in the Halliday Wine Companion Awards. Matured for 9 months in 10% new French and American oak barrels. A truly regional Langhorne Creek blend (49/40/11% shiraz/cabernet sauvignon/malbec) which offers some spice and mid-dark chocolate to the palate. It's succulent, with all elements in unison. It's also stupidly good value... Great Value... 92pts" (Tony Love, Halliday Wine Companion).

Colour The colour is a brilliant pale straw with youthful green hues. Aroma A very clean peach and nectarine note comes forward with kaffir lime and fresh cucumber lift. Palate The palate begins with a gentle and delicate melon flavour which grown and fills the mouth with nectarine, mandarin and lime flavours with a fine creamy texture. The finish is long and fruit juicy leaving you wanting more. Food Pairing “Enjoy with roast chicken, light duck and quail dishes, margherita or prosciutto and pizza, tempura prawns and chicken Caesar salad.”
