Description / Reviews
"Named after the settlement now knows as a ‘lost’ township, Benbournie was situated between the towns of Clare and Blyth. The Benbournie is from a single vineyard on our McRae Wood property, planted by Jim Barry in 1964." - Winemaker Notes
"Here’s a seductive and rich chocolaty wine layered with peppermint and baking spices, and ripe black fruit. Tannin is fat and well massaged, the acidity nicely bedded down, and the finish is long, deep and seasoned with sage and spice, and perhaps some tobacco and more savoury stuff. It’s very good." - 94 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
"Deep, dark red colour with few purple reflections, the bouquet rather oaky - chocolate accented - while the palate is rich and fleshy, intense and firm. It's a big wine but surprisingly elegant, with balance and attractive flavours, finishing with serious Clare Valley tannins. Very smart wine." - 93 Points, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
