Following on from the excitement of the Wine Society’s Young Winemaker of the Year awards night held in Sydney on Friday the 20th November, we are extremely delighted to announce the youngest member of our Winemaking team, Ryan Aggiss, as the overall winner for 2009.

In a space of 9 years the event has become nationally regarded as recognising the most significant achievements of the young Winemakers throughout Australia and New Zealand. Certainly this is a huge honour and one that we as a team believe Ryan – with his devotion and enthusiasm to his work - is well deserved to receive.

Well done Ryan!

James Halliday Australian Wine Companion - 2010 Edition...

We have received a fantastic result in the latest James Halliday Wine Companion for 2010, receiving a 5 star rating and the below reviews of our wines!

Wildberry Estate Shiraz 2007 – Rating 95
“Dense purple-crimson; an evocative bouquet ranging through cherry, plum licorice and dark chocolate is augmented on the palate with excellent tannin management and oak integration”.

Wildberry Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 – Rating 94
“Good purple-red; blackcurrant and earth aromas lead into a succulently rich, ripe and juicy palate with sweet black and red fruit flavours over a more savoury / earthy underlay”.

Flying Fish Shiraz 2007 – Rating 93
“Dense purple-red; rich, spicy blackberry fruit aromas lead into a saturated array of black fruit, licorice and spice flavours; fine tannins throughout”.

Upstream Reserve Chardonnay 2007 – Rating 92
“A savoury style, with melon and nectarine fruit, quite taut, with just a little green edge, which prolongs the fruit richness on the finish”.

Flying Fish Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2008 – Rating 89
“The Semillon makes its presence felt in the structure, and the lemon citrus nuances to the gooseberry fruit at the core of the wine”.
