Merry Christmas from Nicole, Lucy Alice and Moi!
Thank you to all of our customers for making this year a cracker! The last year has marked our continued growth in domestic and export markets despite the tough economic times, so we thank all of you for ordering, drinking, talking about, and loving our wines!
We have also taken a couple of leaps closer to our Organic Certification, meaning we can hopefully say we'll be organic NEXT YEAR!
We wish you a safe and happy Christmas, for those drinking Koonara, we'll be there celebrating with you in spirit!
December is the month for specials with Koonara so check out some of our limited discounts, remembering free freight on all orders over 1 dozen!
Vines are a flowering!
Small clusters of flowers have emerged, our vineyards are hermaphroditic meaning they can self pollinate,
we should start to see grape set.... Soon.
Organic in conversion
Shortly the Trichogramma wasp also known as a "stingless wasp" will be introduced into our vineyard. This tiny insect has been shown to control over 28 species of insect pests and will help us eliminate the need to spray.
The female wasp injects its own eggs into the eggs of the pests with their Larvae consuming the
contents of the pest eggs.

Wirra Wirra - The Angelus Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
$65
Blockbuster, nice balanced oak, and blueberry notes. Chewy fresh black fruit tones. A cracka. 95 points.
Ingredients
1½ kg piece rib eye/scotch fillet2 tbsp Italian dried herb mix (or your favourite herb mix, or chopped dried rosemary)
Method
1. Preheat oven to 200ºC. If you have time, tie the beef with individual pieces of string at 5cm intervals (you can also get your butcher to do this). Brush the beef roast lightly with oil and sear it on all sides over a moderately-high heat until evenly browned.
2. Season the beef with pepper and salt and rub the herb mix over it.
3. Place the beef on a rack in a roasting dish. Add a little water to the roasting dish (about ½ cup). Roast for 60 minutes for rare, 75 minutes for medium and 90 minutes for well done. For ease and accuracy use a meat thermometer.
4. Remove the beef roast, cover loosely with foil and rest it for 20 minutes before carving.

A new album from the golden gravely tonsils of James Morrison (not the trumpeter – although I’m sure he could belt out a tune at Karaoke). Great dinner tunes that even your parents will turn their hearing aids up for. Will be a BIG hit – do yourself a favour.
