Optimus Shiraz Cabernet
This blend of Margaret River and Black wood Valley is starting to show some developed richness on the nose and palate.
It’s a blend that works very well in Australia with plenty of mid palate richness to fill out the more muscular sinewy cabernet.....Ray Jordan, noted expert on WA wine.
Barwick Wines
Producing from 200 hectares of their own vineyard estates, the winery in Margaret River produces a range of premium bottled red and white wines.
The winery was built to make wine from the fruit from our vineyards in Pemberton, Boyup Brook and the surrounding property here at Margaret River - a total of 200 hectares of vines.
The essentials were in place to operate vintage 2004. Continual improvements have been instigated, of particular note the reed-bed system of wastewater purification.....more on this producer
