Thanks Cindy for your appreciation!

Have you tried our new release Sauvignon Blanc? It recently won a SILVER award at Le Concours des Vins du Victoria 2009. No doubt the first of many more to come!
Our Side Gate wines were mentioned by Johnny Rubira in a recent article in the Melbourne Weekly Bayside (Feb 4th 2009), written by Matt Preston.
When asked how he partner’s food with wine, he replied:
“I’m still a little too set in my ways, however , to partner my garfish with an SA monster red, so we turn to the Riesling list that is actually stronger. We then waver between benchmark Grosset Polish Hill Riesling or the alluringly priced Side Gate made by Josef Orbach, who made his name in the Clare, but with Leasingham in the mid-1990’s.”

Congratulations to the Broken Gate team!
“I just have to tell you this..sorry.. I love drinking Giesen Sav/Blanc, my number one wine. Then I was told to try Side Gate 2008 Sav Blanc.
I am now hooked on this wine, a fantastic drop that is Australian.
Just do not change the recipe. It’s now Side Gate for me, and my friends.
Thankyou.
David.”
Side Gate’s 2006 Chardonnay (Geelong & Yarra Valley) has recieved a mention in the 2009 James Halliday Australian Wine Companion. With a rating of 87, it is “Totally fruit driven; some grape fruit and melon, touch of grip on the finish adds length. Available in 500 & 750 ml bottles”.
