Bimbadgen Wine Reviews
Bimbadgen Signature 2005 Individual Vineyard Semillon Intense; great line and length; great clarity of varietal expression. Rating 95 – 2008 James Hallliday Wine Companion. ««««1/2 – Winestate Annual Issue 07/08 – Best of Varietal and New Release Tasting |
Bimbadgen Signature 2005 Individual Vineyard Shiraz Light but bright colour; light to medium bodied; elegant, earthy regional nuances to fine blackberry fruit; integrated oak and a long finish. Rating 94 – 2008 James Halliday Wine Companion. |
Bimbadgen Estate 2006 Semillon Nice mouthfeeI of integrated acidity and fruit, moderate to long in length, a pleasant easy drinking wine – CR. 49 wines tasted and only 18 recommended. National Liquor News, April 2007. «««« - Winestate Annual Issue 07/08 - Winestate Annual Issue 07/08 – Best of Varietal and New Release Tasting |
Bimbadgen Estate 2007 Verdelho This well performing Hunter Valley variety exhibits captivating tropical fruit flavours that finish clean and sharp. With time it will achieve appealing complexity. John Fordham – Sunday Telegraph – 26/08/07 The 2007 vintage proved to be an ideal one for Verdelho in the Hunter, and here is some impressive proof. This is a bright, fresh, quite lean Verdelho with some very attractive tropical fruit flavours. Winsor Dobbin – Sun Herald – 30/09/07. |

Bimbadgen Estate 2005 Pinot Grigio ««« Award – Decanter Magazine – New World Pinot Gris – June 2007 |
Bimbadgen Estate 2005 Shiraz Part Hunter Valley, Part McLaren Vale fruit, with all facets of each region in evidence. It’s earthy, with plenty of fully ripe, plummy, black fruited flavour. No shrinking violet either, at the price it matches up well and offers plenty of interest. Grant Dodd – The Wining Pro – July 2007 “… their latest release shiraz came up well in an extensive tasting of Hunter shiraz from the 2005 vintage. It is medium bodied, has savory brambly characters, and substantial, ripe, fine-grained tannins. Match it with a perfect sirloin and a powerful shiraz based sauce.” Peter Forrestal, Quaff 2008 |
Bimbadgen Estate 2004 Shiraz Good bottle age, balanced fruit, good acids, forward, good food wine – SR. 68 wines tasting and only 24 recommended. National Liquor News, June 2007 |
Bimbadgen Estate 2006 Botrytis Semillon This is a total and utter honeysuckle frenzy in the glass! Marmalade and peach also make an appearance and jostle for attendtion. This is a very smart wine that can easily stand up to good Sauternes (from Bordeaux) but at a fraction of the price. This was the standout wine in our sweet Semillon class – well done guys!” Tyson Stelzer – Taste Food and Wine 2008. |
Bimbadgen Ridge NV Sparkling Semillon This is one of the best value sparkling white wines in the UK. It is bursting with freshness and the bottle looks like it should cost twice the price. Dry, refreshing and very classy, this is a winner – Matthew Jukes, Wine Critic, Daily Mail UK. |
