2014 Reds keep bringing home Gold!!
We are so excited to share with you even more success for our red wines. Earlier this year, Winestate Magazine reviewed our 2014 Duke and Dame in the New Releases judging and both received gold medals.
Well since then, The Duke was also judged in Winestate’s Cabernet and Bordeaux Challenge 2022 Wine Awards, receiving yet another gold medal and 98 points, as well as being awarded “Top in Category”, in the blind tasting.
Not to be out-shone, The Dame was also judged in Winestate’s World’s Greatest Shiraz/Syrah 2022 Wine Awards, resulting in 97 points and another gold medal!
If you are yet to try these exceptional, biologically farmed wines, please visit our Cellar Door & Wine Bar in Naracoorte, or order online from the links below.
The Duke – Coonawarra Cabernet at its finest! This wine has an intense garnet colour with aromas of black olive, peppermint slice and dark chocolate. A tight structure with oodles of plums and cassis.
Winestate Magazine – 2022 New Releases – 98 points and 5 stars
“Soft and maturing gracefully, with inviting secondary chocolatey complexity to the nose and a delicious mix of dark chocolate and black cherry flavours, ‘Yum!'”
“Complex aromas with a subtlety of spicy fruits. The beautifully mature and complex palate offers loads of rum and raisin chocolate bar-like flavours. Still has more life in it yet.”
The Dame – A beautifully balanced wine with a medium brick-red colour, grown from some of the oldest Shiraz vines in the Coonawarra. Bouquet is elegant, almost ethereal, with fruit mince pie aromas and cedar-like oak. A medium body with soft silky tannins and fruit cake flavours.
Winestate Magazine – 2022 New Releases – 96 points and 4.5 stars
“A soft and gracefully aged shiraz that is holding up well. Smells of currants and kitchen spices with a mature and balanced integration of flavours. Amazingly fresh.”
Winestate Magazine – World’s Greatest Shiraz/Syrah 2022 Wine Awards – 97 points and 4.5 stars
“Nicely aged wine that has aromas of prunes and raisins that lead to a satisfying, well balanced and richly matured palate with a lovely chocolatey element.”
