Margaret River Wine

I am off to the Margaret River region for 3 days in April next year - can anyone recommend some wineries to visit or tours to go on???

Being in Australia, I will recommend you a couple of Australian wines; 1) ... overpowering it... 2) Margaret River Chardonnay - Brands; Leeuwin Estate or Brookland Valley, these wines are from a 'cool climate' and...

Hi dmcker, the closest wine region in Australia to Bordeaux is Margaret River in Western Australia not Coonawarra.

Yes, the Margaret River region is the best for Semillon Sauvignon Blanc although they are not renowed for these two varieties on their own; when blended... WOW! they are good at it! As for Semillon, let me do some...

Greg, I will think about the Bordeaux vs Hunter tasting you mention but at a ... Bordeaux in Australia is teh Margaret River... and there have been many tastings "vs. Bordeaux" for those reasons.

Hey Sam - looking forward to learning more. I'll make sure to post some notes soon

White wines were never at the top of my favorites list. Then one day a few months ago, I ordered a case of Margaret River chardonnay from Cameron Hughes. That changed everything. I had never tasted a chardonnay as interesting as this one. First, the boquet is fantastic and is not floral. Then the tasting of this wine was so exciting because there are so many rich overtones going on at the same time. As usual with most Australian chardonnays, they are "mouth filling". This is a wine that I will buy again and again.
