Swish Wine owners Russell and Katrina Leslie are proud to announce the purchase of Wandin Valley Estate in the heart of the beautiful Lovedale region of the Hunter Valley.

94 points from Huon Hooke for our Wandin Valley Estate Reserve Semillon 2009, and many other great reviews...

We were looking at a ‘Hat trick’ of wet harvests for the Ruby Cabernet, but thankfully someone was smiling from above & we had a marvelous, relatively dry day. There was a fantastic turn out of more than 40 Cork Club members & guests and even though the conditions were rather humid & muddy, everyone made short work of the picking.

If nothing else, the Copenhagen Summit has given us all cause to reflect on what is happening to our climate. The Summit has encouraged us to consider how we, as individuals and businesses, can work together to reduce the impact, and severity, of what seems to be a minimum increase in temperature of two degrees Celsius by 2050.

Wandin Valley has had an exceptional year on the wine show circuit. Between only eight wines, we were awarded a total of two trophies, nine gold medals and a swag of silver and bronze medals. These outstanding results are summarised here:

This was a fantastic evening incorporating amazing food, perfectly matched wine, wonderful company and great conversation.
