Arlewood Wines from Margaret River has long been one of our favourite producers here at The Vine Press, especially for their reds.   In 2008 they released their first white blend - Arlewood Marsanne Rousanne 2008 which we loved for its richness and balance.   Here’s what Ray Jordan wrote about the Arlewood Marsanne Rousanne 2009:    “A most impressive blend of these two Rhone varieties. It’s about 85% Marsanne. Superb fruit depth with some interesting creamy citrus characters. Clearly a good year for these varieties with a fineness that keeps the whole palate and structure in check. Will develop nicely over the next couple of years.” Cellar 5 years”    Ray Jordan “Guide to Wine 2010″.

Arlewood Wines from Margret River have received great prais for their Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2009 from Ray Jordan in his “Guide to Wine 2010″    He writes:
“Another beauty with even more finesse and subtlety than the previous excellent vintage. But there is no less intensity and palate length in what is a perfect example of this style of wine. Intense tropical fruits. Delightful fresh and fine acid and a long finish. It stacks up really well.  Cellar 3 years.  92 points” Ray Jordan.

We love Arlewood wines and have a great range available with new vintages arriving all the time.  Call us for any special requests.   Rhys.

Arlewood wines in Margaret River Western Australia produce sensational white blends especially Semillon Sauvignon Blancs.   Recently Ray Jordan in his “Guide to Wine 2010″ said this about Arlewood’s Semillon Sauvignon Blanc Reserve 2007:  “Beautifully expressive example of this blend that takes it up a notch or two. Intense and powerful palate with some nice light herbaceous and creamy characters. The palate is very long with a deep lingering intensity supported with some excellent acid. Has life and zest and will cellar very well.”    Cellar 6 years.  92 Points.  Ray Jordan. Also outstanding is their Sussex Loc Semillon Sauvignon Blanc 2006 which has received rave reviews and awards.
