Shiraz / Great Southern / WesternAustralia
Xabregas are true terroirists, as the focus goes beyond the concept of new world wines. Xabregas don't adhere to the stereotype of an Australian style, choosing instead to bring the unique expression of their single vineyard estate to the fore. Vines were expertly planted to follow a strong line of alluvial iron based gravels that concentrate on the hill sides of each vineyard, reminiscent of the Rhone Valley's terraced slopes.

Riesling / Mount Barker / WesternAustralia
The Xabregas Mount Barker vineyards enjoy a microclime that's somewhat similar to some of Europe's great winegrowing districts. Riesling is afforded a great deal of respect as a grape and generally the winemaking influence is minimal, to preserve the aromatics. Artisan Riesling is the antithesis. The aim is to interact with the precision of Riesling's acidity and flavour to add complexity and most importantly texture, without overpowering the delicate fruit.

Riesling / Margaret Barker / WesternAustralia
Wines made of Riesling grapes are exceptionally revealing, highly articulate of the environment in which they grow, exposing the influence of the winemaker, so very eloquent about the passage of time as the wine ages and evolves. After a number of years under the Howard Park cellars, the exuberance of youth is beginning to yield, zesty citrus is embellished with nougat, nutmeal, candied lemon and meringue. Whilst defined by a greater depth and complexity of flavour, the palate remains guided by a fine, linear acidity, paradoxically calico softness and wet, stony minerality.
