Jane Faulkner is bang on about this two-time Gold medal-winning, 95pt red when writing in The Halliday Wine Companion: "Aside from being a steal, this is a classy Cabernet. Fruit off vines hovering around 45 years, aged in French barriques, 30% new and aged 20 months all up. It’s made with intent, it’s made well and it highlights cassis and blackberries dipped in choc-mint, sweet spices and cedary oak … The palate is well composed and filled with textural tannins, fresh acidity and more besides. Enjoyment writ large here. 95pts. Great Value” It also won Gold at the local Langhorne Creek Wine Show.
For John Lehmann witing in The Astralian this is: "A classic Cabernet unfurls here with cedar, blackcurrant, cassis and spearmint on the nose, then a concentrated palate offering blackcurrant fruit pastilles, mint and savoury, herbal notes on the finish. The tannins are firm but decanting will help bring out the fruit." We love Lake Breeze, but don't take our word for it... “The quality of the Lake Breeze wines is exemplary, with the red wines particularly appealing ...” (James Halliday). “Like Greg Follett, the Lake Breeze wines are unassuming but quietly impressive. Never doubt the value they represent...” (Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine).
The winery has gone from strength to strength with Greg Follett heading the Lake Breeze winemaking team. Lake Breeze has been named Australia’s Champion Small Winery at the Australian Small Winemakers Show, and has won Champion Wine four times. Elsewhere it can boast well over 25 trophies and 125 Golds. In 2023 Lake Breeze won Best Value Winery of the Year in Halliday’s Wine Companion, and Greg Follett was shortlisted as Winemaker of the Year 2024.
