Our Cabernet Sauvignon, with each release has continued to impress. With a complex mix of flavours this powerful wine is in a class of Bendigo Cabernet Sauvignons difficult to emulate.  We are very proud of the consistancy in quality of our Cabernet, and are sure you will continue to enjoy it now and into the future. 

'This is very good stuff and beautifully made by Sergio Carlei.' Gary Walsh, www.winefront.com.au, 2009.

'Classy medium- to full-bodied cabernet, with a seamless marriage of blackcurrant fruit and earthy nuances, the texture excellent and the palate long.' James Halliday, 2008

As the most popular wine in the Turners Crossing range, our Shiraz Viognier is another consistant performer. Receiving no-less than 94 points from James Halliday since the first release in 2004, the latest 2009 vintage again received 94 points. 

'It looked good on opening. It looks even better after 24 hours. Such an evolution means that the news is all good when it comes to this cracking Shiraz Viognier. Perfectly ripe, fragrant, dusty, with savoury dark cherry/choc flavours and a long, powdered tannin finish, this is a hugely enjoyable wine, and at $25 fights well out of its weight class. You can buy it by the case even cheaper from the winery website and that makes this a complete no-brainer. Bring the truck'  Grant Dodd, April 09.

'Strong purple-crimson; in the multilayered style of the vineyard, is leavened by the influence of the co-fermented viognier; rich, ripe black and red fruits, ripe but persistent tannins and integrated oak all contribute to the full-bodied palate.' James Halliday, 2011

Although a late-comer to the Turners Crossing range, our Viognier has not failed to impress. A fantastic quality wine, and the only white we produce, it has not recieved a score below 90 from James Halliday. We are very excited about our Viognier and are looking forward to developing this complex wine further.
