Rave reviews for Trentham Estate

Trentham Estate has had some rave reviews in Australia and New Zealand about the 2005 Heathcote Shiraz.

"The Heathcote region's fame as a source of superb Shiraz rests with wines like this. Concentrated, almost syrupy dark fruits are interwoven with earthy interest and toasty oak influence in excellent balance. A powerful red that needs time to realise its potential." Ralph Kyte-Powell. Cuisine July 2008.

"... part of our carefully selected Victorian vineyard range that aims to epitomise the best these regions have to offer" Anthony Murphy, winemaker at Trentham.

Heathcote Shiraz also won Gold Medal in the 2008 Decanter World Wine Awards

Gartelmann Wines have arrived!

After what seemed like an eternity on the water the Gartelmann wines from the Hunter Valley have finally arrived with us. Was the wait worth it. Unfortunately yes!

The wines, especially the Shiraz, are stunning... we wish they had been here earlier as we could have been enjoying them much sooner.

The Diedrich Shiraz is out of this world. A massive in-glass presence with a nose dominated by red cherries and spiced fruits. This will become one of our benchmark New World Shiraz wines by which all others will be judged.
