"When we saw the declared alcohol figure for this wine we couldn't believe it. The fruit component is vibrant and spicy, with no sign of raisin character or excessive alcohol heat. In fact, this wine was tasted in a bracket of cool region styles and fitted the bill in all respects. An impressive shiraz that will cellar well. Excellent value!"
-Winewise "Remarkably balanced and appealing. Dusty, earthy and cigarbox aromas. Big flavour and firm, drying tannins make a strong statement. Smooth, savoury, lingering finish. Top Aussie Red!" -Good Living "A luscious fruit cake-like style of shiraz with a good dose of charry oak. "It's a pleasure to drink," said one judge. Spices on the nose and sweetness in the mouth!" -Winestate.com "Spicy cassis and kirsch on the nose, with lively floral and mineral notes adding interest. Bright and fresh but chewy, with focused dark berry flavors enlivened by zesty acidity and firmed by fine-grained tannins. Nothing sloppy or overdone about this. The persistent, clear finish features crisp notes of crushed blackberry and candied violet!”

Trophy
for Best
Cabernet in the land!
Royal Sydney Wine Show Winner 2008
A triumphant red, fashioned from incredible, mature Langhorne Creek family-cultivated Cabernet vines, a consistent trophy winner.
Since debut, Lake Breeze has developed a reputation for consistently producing concentrated red wines, with an abundance of fruit character and trademark soft tannins. A full bodied style Cabernet Sauvignon, from thirty to forty year old vines on the Follett family vineyard. The Lake Breeze fruit blocks rely on unique flooding conditions to nurture the parched old Cabernet vines. Traditional open fermentation was employed with maceration times varying between seven to twenty-one days. The wine was matured in French and American oak barriques for twenty months, prior to bottling with minimal filtration.
Magnificent red in the glass, velvety rolling. Lake Breeze exudes a complex array of mint, blackcurrant and subtle oak aromas. These are also on the palate, which has silky texture and a wonderfully soft tannin finish. Cherry like, busy with flavours of berries, sweet smokey bacon and cocoa, blackberry and currants.
More breeding & brilliance
& extra good $value
Previous vintage claimed Max Schubert Trophy, 2 Best Blended Red Trophys, and 3 Golds. A sensational Langhorne creek wine slightly tipped towards the Shiraz balance of things, carefully selected from old vines around the Follett family vineyard, and perennially released to resounding accolades.
Bernoota is Lake Breeze's most highly awarded wine, a breathtakingly refined and harmonious dry red blend which is drinking beautifully, amassing multi trophys, gold medals and numerous other awards in recent years.
Dark fruit characters of blackberry and plum, with a hint of spice and smoky oak. Lifted aromatics, whiffs of exotic spice, leading on to a juicy palate underpinned by smooth, smoky vanilla/ coconut oak and firm, pliant tannins. This is an impeccably balanced wine with good flavours of berries, the background of supportive oak merging with the fruit into a seamless velvety red of poise and structure. Finely grained tannins and turkish delight richness, combine with broad layers of violets and earthyness into a red wine which drinks elegantly, and lingers with a remarkably satisfying finish. "A mouth filling red, showing perfectly ripe aromas and flavours together with excellent vanillin oak, supple and polished. Amazing value for money. Highly Recommended!" -Winewise
Already a legend gets
Best Pinot Trophy Sydney 2008!
Paringa Estate has established itself as one of the leading Mornington wineries, having won Royal Melbourne Most Successful Winery Trophy, as well as James Halliday Australian Winery 2007. Class fruit and a Houdini-like deftness in the handling of their Pinot wines, this is the middle of three sensational Cuvées, from some of the finest vines in the locality.
"By any measure, Lindsay McCall must be Australia's most successful Pinot Noir maker, who literally weaves magic. Paringa Estate makes three pinots, and all are excellent!" -Huon Hooke
"Throughout Australia and New Zealand there are special winemakers who have received a level of respect that gives them iconic status above their peers. After producing a succession of consistently superb wines over a number vintages, Paringa Estate’s Lindsay McCall has more than earned iconic status!" -Winestate.com
Class Pinot act by Australian Winery of the Year 2007!
"Australian Winery of the Year 2007! Paringa Estate is arguably best known for its Pinot Noirs, typically released under three labels of ascending price and quality, the lowest equal to many others best!" -James Halliday
Powerful dark cherry/black fruit flavours well integrated with savoury/spicy oak, a sumptuous Pinot of profound sweet aromas and flavours that fill the mouth. The fine grained tannin structure helps provide excellent weight and character to the wine. An excellent current drinking Pinot Noir.
"Lindsay McCall has made the top wine in the strongly contested Pinot Noir class of the Winewise Small Vignerons Award four years in a row. Each wine received an outstanding rating. If that’s not enough to convince you that he is one of Australia’s finest hands with Pinot Noir nothing will!" -Winewise
Trophy for Best Sparkling Wine
As with all the premium Yellowglen cuvées, this wine is driven by the fruit intensity of Pinot balanced with the finesse of Chardonnay. It is composed of Pinot Noir 63% Chardonnay 31% and Pinot Meunier 6% from a range of vineyards specially selected to produce the finest of sparkling wines. To achieve the desired elegance and finesse, Yellowglen have used only the best wines from the first pressing.
A constant stream of fine, delicate bubbles, a result of the extended period on yeast lees. Initially the wine shows biscuit and brioche characters derived from the maturation on yeast lees. The first taste sensation is of red fruits, followed by slowly unfolding flavours of toasted bread, grapefruit and hazelnuts, with defining Chardonnay minerality.
