The 4 April issue of Harpers magazine saw the Bundaleer Sparkling Shiraz featured in its Harpers Choice section. Such a versatile wine, drinkable at so many occasions throughout the year, we were delighted to see it highly recommended as a great accompaniment to a barbecue.

The February issue of leading consumer wine title, Decanter featured both the Willunga Creek 2005 Black Duck Shiraz and the Bundaleer 2003 Shiraz in its article on South Australian Shirazes. Both wines were recommended by the title, which said of the Bundaleer Shiraz:

'Spice, coffee, hint of sweaty leather, oak, red fruit. Pleasant, sweet black fruit, leathery notes. Spice and balanced tannins. Up to two years.'

This wine is soon to be replaced by the 2004 vintage Shiraz, but limited bottles can still be purchased. Please contact us for further details.

Henley Fine Wines was privileged to be awarded the 2007 Agent General's Bursary for a company promoting South Australian products in the UK.

We were required to submit a proposal as to how the prize money would be spent on promoting South Australian goods, and put together a plan for a series of marketing communications materials.

Company Director, Joanne Humphrey, was presented with the award by South Australian Agent General Bill Muirhead at Australia House yesterday.

The wines we represent at Henley Fine Wines continue to collect awards all over the world. At the Wine Style Asia Awards this week the Bundaleer range picked up a gold medal for its Sparkling Shiraz, a silver for the 2004 Shiraz, and both the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2007 Eden Valley Riesling were both commended.

In the Australian Small Winemakers Show, the 2007 Eden Valley Riesling was awarded a silver medal, while bronze medals were awarded to both the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon and the Sparkling Shiraz.

Henley Fine Wines was proud to demonstrate its wines at the inaugural Newbury Wine Festival over the weekend of 13 and 14 October. The brainchild of a local wine merchant, the event featured 20 local merchants, most of whom were representing boutique, family-owned wineries.

Visitors enjoyed tasting a whole variety of wines from all over the world and were treated to two masterclasses on each day, where they could hear lively debate on the topics of 'Old Versus New' and 'Champagnes and Sparkling Wines'.

The event proved to be a huge success for all who took part and was much enjoyed by the people of Newbury.

We are thrilled to announce that two of the wines in our range received recognition at the Royal Adelaide Wine Show in the results published today. Bundaleer Wines was delighted that its Cabernet Sauvignon received a silver medal in the Cabernets 2004 and earlier category. Coincidentally, the Willunga Creek Cabernet Sauvignon was also awarded a silver medal in its newer Cabernets category. The victory is all the sweeter for both wineries for being awarded in our home state.

We are delighted to announce another range of premium quality South Australian wines has been added our portfolio - from the Mclaren Vale, the Willunga Creek Black Duck range of wines. Owned by David and Julie Cheesley, and with winemakers previously employed by Hardy's and Geoff Merrill, Willunga Creek does what the McLaren Vale region does best - big, bold, powerful red wines!!

We will be supplying the South East of England with Willunga Creek's 2005 Black Duck Cabernet Merlot, 2005 Black Duck Cabernet Sauvignon, 2005 Black Duck Shiraz and the 2005 Black Duck Merlot, winner of a gold medal at the 2007 London International Wine Challenge.
