It’s a real buzz when the press give our wines a rave – we know they’re high quality and exceptionally good value, but it’s always great to hear it from someone else.

“For those new to the fine taste of dry grown wine it is an experience to savour and for those who do appreciate this bigger taste, Brown Hill Estate is up there amongst the finest of our liquid assets in Western Australia. I recommend anyone travelling through the Margaret River region to visit this winery and meet friendly host and winemaker Nathan Bailey and let him take you on a unique journey of tantalising tastes...”
Greg Archer, Australian Wine Selector

“The reserve range which sells for between $25-$30 is exceptional value for price. These are quality wines that could be selling for a heck of a lot more.”

“The whites are worth $20 but you sell them for $13, the Chaffers Shiraz and Hannans Cabernet are worth at least $30 but you sell them for $16 and the Reserve Reds are worth $60 but you sell them for only $25. Simple really, top flight wine at outstanding value.”
Greg Archer, Australian Wine Selector

Block 45 Paddy’s White 2006
“Pale in colour. Pungent nose with typical sauvigon blanc characters of gooseberries showing through.
Tight and zesty palate with intense flavours. Excellent example of style.”
4 1/2 stars – Winestate

Charlotte Sauvignon Blanc 2006
Silver Medal, Commonwealth Bank 2006 Margaret River Wine Show

Croesus Reserve Merlot 2005
“Great purple/red colour. A rich, dense, earthy, chocolatey wine brimming over with lovely
primary fruit, good use of oak and big tannin structure. One for the future.”
4 stars – Winestate

Ivanhoe Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
“A thick and dark cabernet of staggering intensity. It’s still tight as a fortress but as it breathes the dusty sweet fruit mix of cabernet emerges. Whack it in the cellar.”
92 points – Ray Jordan’s Guide to Wine 2006/2007

Fimiston Reserve Shiraz 2005
91 points – Ray Jordan’s Guide to Wine 2006/2007
“A fabulous long, intensely flavoured wine with perfectly polished integration of barrel ferment complexity, dusty oak, rich plum fruit and tight tannins. Some lovely earthy notes.”
5 stars – Winestate

Chaffers Shiraz 2005
5 stars – Winestate
