We are ecstatic that several of our wines have been featured in the Matthew Jukes 100 Best Australian Wines 2007.

Shaw & Smith Sauvignon Blanc 2006 [£9.99]
"Half genial, fruit driven charmer and half demented axe-wielding nutter - this wine can be drunk with the spiciest Zuma-blessed creations, or sipped with the Queen and an innocent cucumber sandwich. How are you feeling today? This wine has the answers"

Cullen Chardonnay 2004 [£24.85]
"Vanya is in tune with her vineyards and her wines and this Chardonnay shows this rare and superb partnership in all its glory. Chardonnay is so easy to make well ,but incredibly difficult to make brilliantly. Cullen improves and augments its holistic recipe every year and the results are amazing."

SC Pannell Grenache Rosé 2006 [£8.99]
"Steve Pannell probably doesn't really want a rosé in the 100 Best 'cos he makes such smart reds (read on). But this is just too much of a temptation for me and besides very few people understand Grenache the way he does. The result is a strawberry (fruit and hull) concoction of unnerving beauty and purity - it will be drunk by men too!"

Charles Melton Rose of Virginia 2006 [£12.99]
"With succulent, bruised plum fruit and a mass of soy sauce sweet and sour moments, Charlie has bolted another turbo unit to the back of his beloved rosé (sorry, deep, rich, 'red' coloured wine) and it is a joy to behold. Strap yourself in for a hilarious ride."

I think these notes speak for themselves; five more tomorrow!
