The Whistling Eagle is known for its buoyant flight soaring easily to great heights. Its whistling cry is audible over long distances and its prey appears to be always taken from the ground. We believe the characteristics of the Whistling Eagle are reflected in our wines of balance and length, depth of colour and flavours that are always an expression of the ground from which they come.

Eagles Blood Shiraz
The Eagles Blood Shiraz is the ultimate expression from ancient Cambrian Earth to wine that displays spectacular colour, depth of flavour and balance.
Eagles Blood Shiraz is made with a minimal approach using traditional methods and barrelled in French and American Oak.
Eagles Blood Shiraz is a fine reflection of the terrior and the careful balance between viticulture and the environment.
2009 Whistling Eagle’s Blood Shiraz
Deeply coloured and intense looking in the glass with a classic regional nose. Vibrant fruits and intensity on the palate brought into balance by a freshness and brightness in the wine that allows the complexity of flavours to come through. Wonderful underlying savoury and spice flavours with beautifully ripened tannins and incredible length.
“Truly a benchmark example from a region renowned for this variety. Intensity, complexity, balance and length with a unique harmony and ethereal quality.”

2009 Whistling Eagle Sangiovese
Bright dark cherry colour with some meatiness showing in the meniscus. Complex aroma of dark and red cherries combined with dark briary fruits on the nose with some earthy spice, fennel and cinnamon, and oak on the nose. A subtle but lifted rosewood perfume. Fruit sweetness and fine ripe tannins that are dense but talcy fine and tell tale varietal fresh acidity providing drive and finish on the palate.
“This wine is top flight New World Sangiovese, I don’t think it gets any better outside of Chianti Classico!”

2009 Whistling Eagle Viognier
Light straw, clear and bright in the glass. Classic nose of apricots and stone fruits combined with citrus and green apple blossom. Rich and full palate that is round and complete with a creaminess to the texture finishing clean and lasting. A beautifully balanced and complex example of the variety.
“Remarkable balance of flavour and structure that suggest astute viticultural practices. A wine that is magnificent both with food and as an aperitif.”

 2009 Whistling Eagle Semillon
Great shade of light straw with slight lime colored hue. Think muddled lemons and limes on the nose with yeasty-oatmealy richness and underlying lanolin notes. Complex palate is intense and rich with honeyed and glazed citrus fruits giving way to an almond and pithy dryness with cleansing acid that pulls it all together and provides incredible line and length.
“A gobsmackingly delicious wine that reveals surprises glass after glass. Testimony to the fact that there should be more of this variety in the region.”
