Estate closure

 

Dear guests, customers, partners and friends

The time has come 

In response to COVID-19 and the Australian Government’s directive to restrict restaurants, cafés and other places of social gathering to takeaway sales only, at Voyager Estate we will be closing to the public for the time being, effective immediately.  This includes the Gardens, Wine Room and Restaurant.  Guests with upcoming reservations will be contacted directly by our team in the coming days.

Whilst having to take this action saddens us deeply, we support the Government’s decision and encourage all Australians to follow the protective measures being put into place.  We are going to miss seeing you all during this period and it is important to us that you, our staff and partners stay safe and well.  

Nature doesn’t take a break, so we will have our vineyard team continuing to take care of our vines and, as vintage comes to a close in the next week or so, we have already implemented strict protocols at the winery to ensure the wines are locked safely away.  In spite of it all, the 2020 vintage from Margaret River has been absolutely sensational so let’s hope that this year is also memorable for something wonderful.

Most importantly, we will continue to have wine, grape juice and gift packs available for sale online and by phone.  You will continue to hear from us via email and on social channels, and our team will be on hand to provide whatever sustenance you need to get through this.  

Whilst the gates are shut, we are not closed in spirit.  We look forward to sharing stories of vineyard happenings and hearing your anecdotes of wines consumed in interesting and unexpected ways.  And we can’t wait to welcome you back again to Voyager Estate.  That will be real cause to pop open a bottle of bubbly… on the house!

Our very best wishes and good health to you all,

Alexandra Burt and the Voyager Estate Team

Cabernet & Chardonnay Shine in 2020 Halliday Wine Companion

The 2020 Halliday Wine Companion awards unfolded recently and we're proud to be part of the Margaret River collective who dominated the night scooping up the largest number of 'Best of Varietal' Awards alongside many other accolades. 

Our own 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon landed a score of 98 points and included as one of the 'Best of the Best' Cabernets in Australia. According to Halliday, 'the difficulty will be keeping your hands off' this wine with its 'perfumed bouquet' and 'juicy fruit'. The last cases are available online until 3rd September 2019 unless sold out prior. 

All our wines - including our celebrated organically-farmed Cabernet and Chardonnay - are 100% estate grown from varieties that thrive in our unique terroir. We are like proud parents seeing such a strong showing for these varietals this year. 

 

2014 Cabernet Sauvignon - 98 points 

'The expressive, indeed perfumed bouquet points the way for the elegant medium-bodied palate where juicy fruit oak and tannins are fused seamlessly together. An appropriate wine for Voyager's 40th anniversary, certain to celebrate its 50th. The difficulty will be keeping your hands of it'. RRP $85 Available Now 

 

2017 Broadvale Block 6 Chardonnay - 96 points 

'That extra something. This is where the real action is at: stone fruit, mineral, wood smoke and slate flavours sizzle their way through the palate before flying out into the sunset on the finish. The feel, flavour and sign off here are all high class'. RRP $65 Available Now 

 

2015 Old Block V9 Cabernet Sauvignon - 96 points 

'Medium to full-bodied with blackcurran, peppercorn, dark chocolate and smokey oak flavours swanning through the palate. There's a sizeable swell of tannin, but the fruit has set up the spinnaker and sails on regardless. It's quite a wine. It makes power and elegance look like the most natural of partners' RRP $105. Available in September 2019

 

2015 Cabernet Sauvignon - 96 points 

'It's as much about texture and length as it's about flavour, though there's no certaintly no shortage of the latter. it tastes of dark chocolate and coffee, blackcurrant and black liquorice, with gum leaf notes adding lift. The tannin is so fine and yet so firm it's perfect in its under-zealous application of the law. Perfectly positioned to age magnificently. RRP $85. Available in September 2019

 

2017 Broadvale Block 5 Chardonnay - 95 points 

'Simultaneously elegant and rich. Stone fruit, pear, apple and citrus flavours run energetically through the palate, bringing with them both a creaminess to the mouthfeel and a smokiness to the aftertaste. Quality rarely looks this easy. RRP $65. Available now

 

2015 North Block U12 Cabernet Sauvignon - 95 points 

'Rugged and beautiful. This is brilliant with bold fruit but it's muscular with tannin too; it's like a bodybuilder in sheer lycra. Smooth cassis, silken milk chocolate, a smattering of bay leaves and violets. It has good concentration, but it's not a big wine; it doesn;t need to be. What it does have is form, presence and persistence. $RRP105. Available in September 2019

 

2017 Chardonnay - 94 points

'Sunny and svelte to start and then impressively long to close. Custard powder, pear, peach and grapefruit flavours come tipped with smokey/spicy oak. You wouldn't call it a big wine, but neither is it lean; it walks that much-desired middle line. RRP $50. Available now
