Magpie Hill Reserve Shiraz 2018

Magpie Hill is the Reserve range from Dukes which is in the Porongurups, a sub district in the Great South of West Australia. The stony poor granitic soils giving concentrated wines. This producer possibly better known for its outstanding Rieslings has kicked a goal with this beautiful Shiraz. This has a very deep Ruby colour with a purple tinge. Smoky oak and mocha with ripe fruit - 14.5% ABV. Concentrated. Full bodied but not heavy- soft fine tannins. Made by the talented Rob Diletti who is their neighbour from his winery Castle Rock. Great value. — 6 months ago

@Somm David T Crazy good value as well at only $31 AUD. Bought this at the Cellar door in 2020. Haven’t seen it before or since. Their Rieslings have won numerous awards and Trophies.

@Bob McDonald, is the attached link (https://dukesvineyard.com/pages/story?srsltid=AfmBOoq1MO8PV0Op0ZhQMJQEsGmwvnf8h8d__4XMgKK3uY8XqdKG4KH9) for Duke’s Vineyard in the Porongurups the same winery? We visited in late 2023 and Ben and Sara had purchased the winery and vineyards in 2022, which is consistent with what I found above. I ALWAYS defer to you on things involving Australian wine, thus my question??

@Doug Powers Doug - only one Dukes winery in the Porongorups. That would be it.

Clos du Roy Marsannay Pinot Noir 2020

The Clos du Roy has been around ever since the dukes of Burgundy, residing in nearby Dijon, documented, and drank in its virtues.
Ruby red color with aromas of ripe fruits with floral perfume and earthy tones, aged for 14 months in 30% new oak. On the palate flavors of berry and plum fruits, with pepper spice notes. Soft fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, floral and earthy spice character.

Mosel-Saar-Ruwer Riesling 2015

What a perfect wine for Hawaii. Crisp, dry, refreshing, with sea salt, minerals, lemon, a touch of petrol, and some tropical fruit. Value imo at dukes. — 4 years ago

Castle Rock Estate

Porongurup Pinot Noir 2018

Stewed red fruits on the nose with a gamey note. A well made Porongorup Pinot Noir from Rob Diletti who is better known for his excellent Rieslings and contract winemaking to Dukes. Rob has packed a lot into this medium bodied Pinot with Cherry and Strawberry notes along with Sous Bois and that gamey character mentioned earlier. 2 bottles left - taste the next one in a year. — 3 years ago

Charlotte Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2016

Lovely cherry and cherry blossom nose. Cherry, cinnamon, minerals, and fresh strawberry on the palate. Medium tannins, medium alcohol, and high acid that lingers long into the finish. Beautiful structure and balance. A beautiful wine start to finish in the Burgundy style. — 5 years ago
