Voyager Estate
Impressed from the time we pulled into the car park. Consistent quality wines presented in an environment that is certain to impress.
2009 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (4.5* $24) One of the best I'd tried, with the regular elements in the nose more pronounced and a pleasant acidity balanced in with the fruit on the palate.
2005 Tom Price Sauvignon Blanc Semillon (5* $55) Oaked style, and the difference the extra bottle age and the 50% barrel fermentation made was quite pronounced. Mileages would vary according to how much wood you like in your whites, but I was extremely taken by the style.
2007 Chardonnay (4.5* $42) Another refined new style Oz Chard, with an excellent mouthfeel and textured fruits on the palate. The nose wasn't bad either.
2009 Chenin Blanc (4* $20) Probably overshadowed by the other whites but a really nice take on an overlooked variety.
2003 Chardonnay (5* $60) Isn't usually available for tasting, and the extra bottle age produced a balanced style that was oakier than some recent examples I'd tried. Very much a style I like.
2008 Girt By Sea Cabernet Merlot (4* $24) Interesting style that would handle a spell in the fridge.
2007 VOC Collection Merlot (5* $55) a wonderful expression of varietal Merlot that I thought wasn't to be taken Sideways.
2008 Shiraz (5* $34) Darkly fruity style that made a nice alternative to the big Barossa versions.
For an order? With apologies to the Chenin Blanc, the top three whites times two and the three reds. ($468)
