"Australian cognoscenti regard Balgownie Estate as the leading winery in the thriving GI of Bendigo, located in Central Victoria."
2006 Estate Shiraz
"The purple-coloured 2006 Shiraz contains 2% Viognier. Fragant and expressive it offers up a nose of scorched earth, mineral, blueberry, and blackberry. Ripe and smooth textured, it has excellent depth and length. It will benefit from another two years of cellaring and be at its best from 2010 to 2018.

2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
"The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals aromas of tasty oak, pencil lead, spice box, cassis, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied Cabenet with ample ripe fruit, good depth, and enough structure for 4-6 years of further evolution. Drink it from 2012 to 2022."
