Southern WA Highlights
Posted: Tue Sep 02, 2014 5:04 pm
A long weekend down in Denmark with a bunch of wineries visited, including Dukes, Castle Rock, Gilberts, Poacher's Ridge, Castelli, Singlefile, Harewood, Rockcliffe and Willoughby Park. Highlights of the trip were:
Dukes: 2014 Magpie Hill riesling just stunning, so zippy, it made my mouth water!
Castelli: 2012 Tempranillo, a really good solid mouthful of a wine, plenty of tannins and fruit depth.
Singlefile: very good Porungorup riesling; 2011 Run Free The Duo Cabernet Merlot is a bargain at $20 and the 2013 Frankland River shiraz was just a stunner.
Harewood: three great rieslings from 2014 from Mount Barker, Porungorup and Frankland; the $20 2012 shiraz another screaming bargain for the depth of fruit and structure and the 2010 Reserve shiraz was mind-blowingly good.
Top tips: Dukes Magpie Riesling and Harewood Reserve Shiraz
