New Release – 2009 Merlot

Hamelin Bay Wines are proud to announce another addition to the fine array of wines we produce. The recent release of the 2009 Merlot has been embraced from both stockists and cellar door customers. The colour is bright red hue with a deep red centre.  Presenting beautiful aromas of chocolate, plum skin and red berry fruit, with spicy cedary oak and liquorice. Displaying a bold midpalate with a moderate to long length of flavour and fine emery tannins to finish.  Lovely and approachable now but with structure to ensure ageing into the medium term.

2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Rated Number 1 by Scoop Magazine!

Scoop Magazine has just released the tasting results for their Autumn 2011 edition. See what they had to say....   Wines of the Tasting - Number 1 position awarded to Hamelin Bay 2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Gold 18.5 points ~ Hamelin Bay 2010 Semillon Sauvignon Blanc ~"More and more drinkers are getting wind of Hamelin Bay's cracking SSBs.  This one is a semillon-powered.  Vibrant and fresh, with delicious aromas and flavours in the grassy citrus flavour spectrum, this beauty is wonderfully dry, crisp and refreshing, with balance and length to spare.  Our panel loved the subtle, judiciously intergrated barrel-ferment characters, too." Silver 17 points ~ Hamelin Bay 2008 Shiraz ~ "This wine opens with aromas of plums, black pepper and spice.  The palate is edgy, showing sour cherry and black forest fruits and spicy, sinewy tannins.  Hamelin Bay's winemaker, Julian scott, has been refining this style with knowledge gained from over a decade of experience in the Karridale sub-region.  This wine is expected to be released mid year."

Ray Jordan places Hamelin Bay Wines in his Top 100 Whites!

In late 2010, Ray Jordan toasted his Top 100 Whites.  Included in these were the Hamelin Bay Chardonnay 2008 and Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2010.  See what he had to say about our wines below:   Hamelin Bay Chardonnay 2008 ~ Placed in the Top 5 of the Top 100 Whites "This is a very classy complex chardonnay.  The nose bursts from the blocks with a funky minerality and touches of custard tart.  Tight tart grapefruit and honeydew melon on the palate with a zingy fine finish.  Beautifully seamless, controlled palate." Hamelin Bay Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2010 "The cooler southern part of the Margaret River region suits these varieties and this crisp fine style perfectly.  It's lively and crunchy with a vibrant tropical-fruit influenced mouth feel."
