‘SMALL PRODUCER OF THE YEAR’ ~ The West Australian Wine Guide 2010

‘SMALL PRODUCER OF THE YEAR’ ~ The West Australian Wine Guide 2009

Erin Larkin, The Wine Companion "Matured for 15 months in French oak. A very reductive nose initially, the black fruits that lie in wait on the palate are sprinkled liberally with cracked black pepper. Bouncy and short, but uncomplicated fresh short-term drinking, here."

The Winemaker "An exotic bouquet showing lovely red berry fruits intermingled with incense, cedary oak and chocolate. Delicious black cherry flavours dominate the palate which is softly structured with fine tannins. "

Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Companion "It smells ripe, sweet and berried, the palate then following on faithfully, with rich plum and blackberry flavours pressing gently into raisin territory. There's a musky/vanillin character from oak and a firm finish; it has the throttle well and truly open but it negotiates the road well." (2016 vintage)

Ray Jordan "...Excellent... Beautifully scented bouquet of rose petal and cherry plum with a spicy lift. The palate is seamlessly constructed with fine grainy tannins and neatly weighted oak. Medium-bodied fruit with excellent depth and concentration. So well balanced and posed with good medium-term cellaring potential."(2015 vintage)

The Western Australian Wine Guide 2018 "Brown Hill Estate is small family-run southern Margaret River producer has gone from strength to strength with a range of exceptional quality and value-for-money wines. The vines are all dry grown and on quite harsh gravelly soils, resulting in small yields. All grapes are hand-picked. The reds are put into a high percentage of new American and French oak. Great value and super wines." (2015 vintage)

Brown Hill Estate is a family run, multi-award winning Margaret River winery focussed on single vineyards. It utilizes traditional methods of handpicking and hand sorting to get the best quality from its grapes, and French coopered barrels in production.

Margaret River is one of the best-known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined Cabernet Sauvignon and intensely citrusy chardonnay varieties, the region now produces Semillon Sauvignon Blanc blends and Shiraz.

Located in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.

Shiraz is the name given to the dark-skinned Syrah grape when grown in Australia and selected pockets of the New World. Though genetically identical, the stylistic differences between Shiraz and Syrah are usually pronounced.

Shiraz is so important to Australian viticulture that it is the most planted grape variety in the majority of Australian vineyards and has become virtually synonymous with the country's wine regions, and in particular the Barossa Valley.

‘SMALL PRODUCER OF THE YEAR’ ~ The West Australian Wine, Guide 2009

Erin Larkin, The Wine Companion "Hand picked, whole-bunch pressed, fermented in a combination of seasoned and new French oak. Toasty, chewy and packed with layers of flavour and texture. The saline acid ties it all to a post, the concentrated fruit forms a deep pool of flavour on the tongue. There's a lot to ponder, a lot to like, and thankfully, a whole bottle to drink. Get to it."

Ray Jordan 'Probably the best chardonnay from this small producer. Aromas of lime and light stone fruit with a trace of crunchy melon. It's a medium-bodied wine with the oak deliberately underplayed, though still taking an important role. A nice edge to the finish'.

Ned Goodwin 'A wine that glimpses the current zeitgeist, tauter expressions of chardonnay while also paying heed to the proclivity of Margaret River for generosity and texture. Honeydew melon and quice leap out of the blocks... a generous lick of medium French oak, toning the palate'.

Huon Hooke, The Real Review "Very light-straw colour. The aroma is reserved and a bit shy, with a faint floral overtone, while the palate is light but reasonably intense, straightforward and tickled up with a trace of sweetness. A pleasant wine but the price is a bit of an overreach."

Chardonnay is one of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Bolder, richer, full-bodied and buttery Chardonnays are made using oak and are produced in California, Burgundy, and Australia. Unoaked chardonnays such as Chablis and those produced in Chile, New Zealand, and other parts of France are leaner and often crisp and mineraly, with delicate flavors. By law, if a label says “Chablis,” it must be Chardonnay.

Margaret River is a highly respected wine region in the southwestern corner of Western Australia. Famous for having a more "European" wine style than its counterparts across the country, Margaret River has made its name through its unusually refined Cabernet Sauvignon (often blended with Merlot), gamey Shiraz, intensely citrusy Chardonnay, and refreshingly grassy "SSB'" blends of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Margaret River's winemakers are particularly proud of it's temperate, coastal location – which is very similar to that of Bordeaux.

Merlot is a red wine grape variety with strong historic ties to Bordeaux and the southwest of France. It is the second most-planted red wine grape variety in the world, after Cabernet Sauvignon. Merlot is extremely popular in northern Italy, the United States. Chile has built its reputation mainly on its Merlot-based cuvées. Merlot's flavour profile includes plum and black cherry. Often described as producing smooth, rounded and "easy drinking" wines. Merlot is often used to great effect in blends, and is known in his capacity to make some of the most famous wines in the world.

Will Oatly "Rocky Road wines are shaped by sustainable farming methods and a minimalist approach in the winery resulting in wines that display outstanding varietal integrity, balance, harmony and character."

Margaret River is one of the best known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region.

James Halliday "Good hue, although not deep; a deceptive wine, because neither the colour or the bouquet signal the fresh, intense and fiercely focused palate, in turn built on the foundation of the persistent tannins."

James Halliday "Machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, pressed to French oak (25% new, the balance with staves) for 14 months. Bright hue; has some of the complexity of its Atticus sibling, with black cherry, spice and licorice underwritten by the freshness given by modest alcohol. Delivers the goods." (2008 vintage)

Huon Hooke "Medium deep red, some purple. Strange chocolate and raspberry nose; suspect a little sulfide here, plus some jam. Not a fine or elegant bouquet. Palate is at least soft, mellow and balanced, without excess alcohol, tannin or oak. Raspberry jam/DMS/Ribena. Slightly bizarre, sweaty/funky. Falls away a touch to a soft finish; certainly has drinkability." (2004 vintage)

James Halliday "Bright cherry red; reminiscent of spiced liquer cherries, showing a distinct clove aroma to the bouquet; medium-bodies with plenty of red fruit supported by understated oak usgage; the tannins are fine and quite silky, and compliment the fruit with style."

Sturban Wines "Luminescent cherry, hints of clove, dark fruit, elegant tannin structure from 18 months in French oak 40% being new and it is a complete wine, deserved of its status and is drinking well now, with nearly 10 years of age."

Tasting Notes "From a warm vintage the depth of fruit flavour is obvious. Beautiful perfumes on the nose with cloves and red berry characters. The finish is long and balanced with dusty tannins to round out the experience."

James Halliday "A very successful venture under the control of CEO Ron Fraser. The wines come from the estate vineyards planted to chardonnay, Semillon, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.....[The winery's] ultra-premium wines are under the Atticus label."

Atticus is owned by Chapman Grove Wines; a small winery focussed on making limited edition fine wines from Margaret River, Western Australia.

James Halliday "Machine-harvested, crushed and destemmed, pressed to French oak (25% new, the balance with staves) for 14 months. Bright hue; has some of the complexity of its Atticus sibling, with black cherry, spice and licorice underwritten by the freshness given by modest alcohol. Delivers the goods." (2008 vintage)

Huon Hooke "Medium deep red, some purple. Strange chocolate and raspberry nose; suspect a little sulfide here, plus some jam. Not a fine or elegant bouquet. Palate is at least soft, mellow and balanced, without excess alcohol, tannin or oak. Raspberry jam/DMS/Ribena. Slightly bizarre, sweaty/funky. Falls away a touch to a soft finish; certainly has drinkability." (2004 vintage)

James Halliday "Bright cherry red; reminiscent of spiced liquer cherries, showing a distinct clove aroma to the bouquet; medium-bodies with plenty of red fruit supported by understated oak usgage; the tannins are fine and quite silky, and compliment the fruit with style."

Sturban Wines "Luminescent cherry, hints of clove, dark fruit, elegant tannin structure from 18 months in French oak 40% being new and it is a complete wine, deserved of its status and is drinking well now, with nearly 10 years of age."

Tasting Notes "From a warm vintage the depth of fruit flavour is obvious. Beautiful perfumes on the nose with cloves and red berry characters. The finish is long and balanced with dusty tannins to round out the experience."

James Halliday "A very successful venture under the control of CEO Ron Fraser. The wines come from the estate vineyards planted to chardonnay, Semillon, sauvignon blanc, shiraz, cabernet sauvignon and merlot.....[The winery's] ultra-premium wines are under the Atticus label."

Atticus is owned by Chapman Grove Wines; a small winery focussed on making limited edition fine wines from Margaret River, Western Australia. Described by Australia's N#1 wine critic, James Halliday as ""a very successful venture"", the winery is known for its highly rated wines and was established in 2005 by an esteemed veteran of the industry, Ron Fraser. Pop Up Wine has secured back vintages of a collection of its highly rated wines.

Atticus utilises exceptional fruit which is all 100% estate grown to create its world-class wines. Its range includes varieties most suited to the Margaret River climate, with French oak used to bring out flavours of the terroir, creating a true expression of the region.

The winery achieved the highly coveted 5 Red Star rating from James Halliday within three short years of first entering the Wine Companion in 2009. Since the the estate's first release in 2006, its wines have been awarded 4 Trophies, 3 Top Gold, 3 Gold, 8 Silver and 39 Bronze medals.

Margaret River is one of the best known wine regions in Australia, recognized internationally for the quality of its wines and the natural beauty of the region. Although originally renowned for its unusually refined cabernet sauvignon and intensely citrusy chardonnay varieties, the region now produces semillon sauvignon blanc blends and shiraz.

Located in the south-western corner of Western Australia, it is famous for having a more 'European' wine style than its counterparts across Australia, owing to
the regions temperate, coastal location which is very similar to that of Bordeaux."
