Hanging Rock Winery in the Macedon ranges produce quite a variety of quality wines such as the Jim Jim Sauv Blanc, the Cambrian Rise Shiraz and the Heathcote Shiraz and Reserve Shiraz. They were really amongst the first to "discover" Heathcote. But they hang their hat on the quality of their Macedon sparkling wines. There are three in the line up.

One of the best Aussie sparklings of all must be the Bollinger-like Hanging Rock Macedon Brut LD Cuvee VIII NV - $99.90. Included in James Halliday's Best of the Best in the 2010 Australian Wine Companion with a score of 95 points, this wine has spent an average of ten years on yeast lees, building an incredible depth of complexity and richness.

The other sparklings in the line up follow, along with links to James Halliday's reviews.

Blue Pyrenees Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - $15.25 per bottle (on a minimum one dozen order) won Best Dry Red Wine in the Commerical Classes at the recent Royal Sydney Wine Show. This wine has been flying out the door over the past week, so much so that we had to get in more stock. But it's now in store. Order now.

The Gemtree Uncut Shiraz 2008 - $18.50 is the current Wine of the Month. This really is cracking value. James Halliday rated it at 95 points and recommends drinking through to 2028!! More detail here.
