Wines under our Lake Breeze ‘Winemaker’s Selection’ label are only released in outstanding vintages when the wine produced is of exceptional quality.

The 2018 WS Shiraz is a classic, rich, velvety shiraz produced from 40-45 year old vines on the family property. The grapes were picked at optimum maturity and fermented on skins for 7 days in open fermenters, prior to maturing in French and fine grained American oak barriques for 22 months. It has an uplifting nose, showing blackberry, aniseed and chocolate. The palate is full and luscious, with excellent length of flavour and soft tannins.

This wine will improve with cellaring over the next 15 years. Very restricted availability.

About Lake Breeze

Our Lake Breeze winery lies on the banks of the Bremer River and is surrounded by majestic river red gums and overlooks the 90 hectare (225 acre) Follett family vineyard. The vineyards are managed Tim Follett, whom Greg relies on to provide him with consistently outstanding fruit.

The varieties grown on the vineyard include cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and chardonnay, with smaller amounts of grenache, merlot, petit verdot, malbec and vermentino.

Lake Breeze selects only the best 40% of fruit from the older vines for its wines. The majority of the fruit used is carefully selected from old vines, between 50 and 55 years old, with the oldest vines being our Grenache, planted in 1932.

Our Lake Breeze cellar door has evolved further with contemporary function space, taking advantage of the stunning views across the vineyard from one of the best vantage points in the district. A great place to sit and enjoy a long lunch or the perfect venue to celebrate your special occasion.

Lake Breeze offers visitors to the region an extensive Langhorne Creek experience with cellar door tastings, lunch menu and accommodation at The Creek Cottage bed + breakfast.
