97 Point Rated Wines under $30
James Halliday's Top 100 Wines
   

This week James Halliday's Wine Companion released the Top 100 Wines, and we were pleased to see high scores awarded to two of our favourite red wines that come in at under $30. These are such fabulous wines we often wonder why they are not more expensive (though we don't wonder that for too long, instead just enjoy them without hurting the hip pocket!) 

"The value for money represented by Lake Breeze is nothing short of extraordinary. 97 Points."
Wine Companion


"Bondar... What a bargain. 97 Points."
Wine Companion

 

Lake Breeze Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 
Langhorne Creek, SA

Best Value Winery of the Year!
- James Halliday's Wine Companion 2022

James Halliday 97 Points!



There are not many Cabernets at this price which you would confidently cellar for 10 years. This is one. Why is the quality so high? Mature, well-cared-for vines in a great vintage ushered in quality fruit, which Lake Breeze then masterfully crafted into this beauty. Yes, this concentrated Cabernet will reward cellaring, but it is fabulously lush now too.

"The epitome of signature Langhorne Creek cabernet. The quality of the fruit is in evident from the outset. It's matured for 20 months in French oak, 40% new, yet this is subservient to the black/blueberry aromas and flavours, some regional dark choc-mint adding a tiny whiff behind. Everything knits together perfectly and the varietal tannin structures lie in exact tune with the whole. When it works so well, wines like this just come alive." - Wine Companion

Bondar Violet Hour Shiraz 2020 
McLaren Vale, SA

James Halliday 97 Points!



The influence of old vines in the quality of wine is as relevant to this Shiraz too. Bondar have one of McLaren Vale's most regarded old sites, from which they make a fragrant, modern Shiraz which has a lighter touch than many in the region. While heaviness is traded in favour of freshness, this is not short on complex flavour. What a treat it is to enjoy a wine this good at this price.

"Sourced from Shiraz plantings dating back to 1947 ex the Rayner Vineyard. A beautiful wine in every dimension – its crimson colour, haunting perfumed bouquet, perfectly ripened fruit that caressses the mouth with superfine tannins and subtle but relevant oak. What a bargain." - Wine Companion
