Magpie Hill is the Reserve range from Dukes which is in the Porongurups, a sub district in the Great South of West Australia. The stony poor granitic soils giving concentrated wines. This producer possibly better known for its outstanding Rieslings has kicked a goal with this beautiful Shiraz. This has a very deep Ruby colour with a purple tinge. Smoky oak and mocha with ripe fruit - 14.5% ABV. Concentrated. Full bodied but not heavy- soft fine tannins. Made by the talented Rob Diletti who is their neighbour from his winery Castle Rock. Great value. — 16 days ago

My nephew came ten days early!!! The WF down the street had this in the refrigerated case so it was an easy choice. His name is Armend and he and momma are doing awesome. The Champagne had brioche on the nose and loads of meringue on the palate. Quite attractive. Worth swooping for the price. — 6 years ago

"Accessible, fruity chardonnay with peach, nectarine. lime. citrus. vanilla bean, ginger and spicy oak flavours. Soft-textured, inviting wine with development potential" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

Hand selected fruit with 12 months maturation in new and one year old French oak, the wine is beautifully textured, full bodied with butterscotch and spicy oak flavours. Displaying mineral tones from the Terrior, this wine has a delightful and very long finish.

The opinion: very nice and worth every cent especially 3 years on. Lovely.

Founders Brewing Ultimate Oktoberfest

Auburn colored amber sports a negative constellation lid in puffy cream. Toxic avenger lacing mid-melt leaves leaping fish to swooping birds. Honeyed brown bread nose has hints of coffee, peanut, baked brown sugar and yeasty dough. Strong vanilla lingers as whiskey shines in caramel, cedar and cinnamon firstly, toffee, allspice, orange, baked pear as afterthought. Tertiary flavors persist indefinitely spurred in by successive sipping. Grand.

Sticky, ripe sweetness that almost resembles a port. It’s textbook Aussie Shiraz, in fizzy form. A lot of vanilla on the nose, followed by an abundance of ripe cherry, chocolate and liquorice on the palate. Short finish, but tremendous fun. — 5 years ago
