Learn from the winemakers and taste some of the award-winning Rieslings and Cabernet Sauvignon. Halliday Wine Companion 2023 released August, 2022 has rated Helm Wines: “A winery which is outstanding, regularly producing wines of exemplary quality and typicity, and generally acknowledged to have a long track record of excellence in the context of its region – truly the best of the best. Among just 12.8 % of Australian wineries.
2021 James Halliday Wine Companion: Eden Road is a Red 5-Star Winery. Your tastings will include: 95 Points - 2018 The Long Road Syrah The fruit from Eden Road Estate vineyard in Murrumbateman & the Hilltops GI. 95 Points - 2018 Canberra Syrah The fruit from Eden Road Cullarin Block 71 vineyard at Lake George Escarpment (first planted in 1971 by the father of the Canberra wine industry Dr. Edgar Riek & Eden Road estate vineyard in Murrumbateman Block 94 (second planted in 1972). Eden Road vines are grown across a collection of unique properties comprising different soils and altitudes, with grape varieties best suited to these conditions, to produce wines of varietal purity, finesse and complexity. In 2017 award-winning French winemaker Celine Rousseau joined the family at Eden Road Wines; and since, Eden Road winemaking has been re-defined. It is based on world-leading traditional techniques aimed at producing wines that are a pure and sincere expression of their terroir.
Four Winds Vineyard
Here, you will have a pizza lunch, paired with wine tastings. The Four Winds Story began with a miner and his wife who lived on the property in a slab-hut. Her name was Scheherazade, after the story telling character in The Arabian Nights. Her favourite story described a magic carpet being borne by the four winds of good fortune. She named this small farm in Murrumbateman ‘Four Winds’ in the hope it would carry their good fortunes. Four Winds planted their thirty-three acre vineyard in 1998 and 1999 with five varieties: Shiraz, Riesling, Cabernet, Merlot and Sangiovese.
Among the wines sampled will be the people-pleasing Shaw Wines Estate Sparkling Cuvee. Max Crus, January 2023: Shaw Wines Canberra Sparkling Cuvée 2021… quite sharp and bright...the ideal thing with which to celebrate the change of pace … suck it up. 9.3/10. Shaw Wines is a family-owned and operated business located in Murrumbateman NSW, the heart of the Canberra cool-climate wine region. The Shaw Family first moved to Murrumbateman over 30 years ago, and in 1998 purchased “Olleyville” the historic 700-acre fine wool producing property dating back to the mid 19th century.
Many wines to sample + friendly doggos Mollie (Husky/Kelpie cross) is usually at cellar door to greet visitors and supervise the staff. She has her own wine label so if she’s not at cellar door, she may be in the winery supervising the next vintage. Being a recuse dog herself, Mollie is proud that the two dog labelled wines support the ACT RSPCA. True to the cool climate region of NSW and Canberra, Murrumbateman Winery makes outstanding and award-winning Riesling and Shiraz. Winemaker Bobbie Makin also has a passion for alternate varieties and enjoys crafting a selection of wines including: Fume Blanc, Malbec, Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Murrumbateman Winery is a small boutique winery producing high quality, award winning wines from locally sourced, handpicked grapes.
Worked hard to create a new look label that shows both where our wines began and where we are going. The Royal Bluebell, now in gold, reminds us of Jeir Creek Wines’ rich history. As the floral emblem for the ACT, it also continues our strong connection to Canberra. The rest is us, modern, yet classic. Tradition and history are as important to us as modernization and quality. We hope you agree that our new look brings these values together. You will continue to see some of our old labels on our older vintages until sold out.
