A great write up on the virtues of the Swan Valley wine region.

Many of the wines referenced we stock 🍷

Helped by the rise of winery tourism and its proximity to Perth, the Swan is now a serious winery crawler’s destination.

"The aromatics are bright and complex with dark chocolate covered black cherry, toasted coconut, black forest berries and fig. The nose unfurls to reveal hints of sea salt, spearmint, cayenne and cardamom overlaying intracacies of dried pot pouri”..

🍷 2019 Willow Bridge Estate Black Dog Shiraz (Geographe) - $70

The top wine of the winery, this wine is fastidiously crafted using only the best grapes in the best vintages.

🍷New in-store 🍷

🤘 The legendary Battles Granitis Shiraz from the Perth Hills.

The 2020 iteration of this wine won 🏆Shiraz of the Year in the 2023 Halliday Wine Companion.

🪨Granítis (grani’ths) is the Greek word for Granite and this unique bedrock is present throughout the vineyard. This is a rare wine with only 100 dozen made.

The 2023 Battles Granitis Shiraz is from a near perfect vintage and has lashings of plum, blueberry, mulberry and rasberry fruit supported by fine, chalky tannins. If you're a fan of McClaren Vale Shiraz, this is a wine for you.

Once this wine opens up (which will take a while given its so young) there is licorice strap, vanilla, white pepper.

If drinking now, give it a good 2 hours in the decanter prior to drinking. Roast rib of beef would be a perfect accompaniment.

For those with the patience, this wine will survive and thrive for the next 10 years in your cellar.

Battles Wines

Varieties: 100% Shiraz Region: Perth Hills The 2021 vintage of this wine won Shiraz of the year in Halliday’s Wine Companion. The 2023 vintage was as close to perfect as has been seen in a long time. High winter rainfall, followed by a mild summer allowed the grapes to ripen graduall

Great article which just goes to show how dominant WA is in the stakes.

We stock many of these great wines btw 🙂

https://younggunofwine.com/australias-best-chenin-blanc-in-2021/?

With a new wave of Australian producers dedicated to elevating the grape, a Deep Dive was called for, so we gathered as many bottlings as we could find and enlisted the help of eight of this country’s finest palates to check in to see just where Australian chenin blanc is at.
