Current Release Wines...
These wines are waiting for you to experience for yourself… available online, in our cellar door & selected outlets.
Very Limites Wines
2014 Serie Luminosa Cabernet Sauvignon || 97 Points
Bright, clear crimson-purple - quite striking: a wine made without any compromise in the fruit selection or in the vinification, with a long pedigree of prior vintages of high quality. The bouquet is perfumed, the medium-bodied palate with a full array of cassis, redcurrant and blueberry fruits and bay leaf and superfine but persistent tannins. Oh, and yes, Fr ench oak does make a contribution.
2016 Stella Bella Sauvignon Blanc || 96 Points
In distinctive Stella Bella fashion, the wine is loaded with tropical fruits fit for an Arabian feast, starting with passionfruit, gooseberry, continuing with green pineapple, finishing with punchy citrussy acidity that intensifies and prolongs the impact of a real wine.
2016 Stella Bella Semillon Sauvignon Blanc || 92 Points
Bright straw-green; has the Stella Bella stamp all over it; notwithstanding that semillon is the dominant partner, the exotic tropical fruits of sauvignon blanc do most of the talking, with passionfruit, custard apple and gooseberry joined by lemony acidity on the finish. Will be around for a few years yet.
2015 Stella Bella Shiraz || 93 Points
Good colour, bright and deep; the expressive bouquet has all manner of warm spices, mocha, even hot cross buns. The medium to full-bodied palate takes all those characters in its stride, adding plush, ripe tannins and a dash of licorice. Enticing wine, whether now or later.
2015 Stella Bella Sangiovese Cabernet || 91 Points
Light, clear red; the sangiovese component is the dominant partner, no matter what the percentages may be (we aren’t told). Red cherry fruits rule the roost, and make a wine full of personality that is raring to go.
2015 Stella Bella Cabernet Merlot || 94 Points
The perfumed bouquet sets the theme and course of a quality blend reflecting tis varietal origins and birthplace with equal confidence. The blackcurrant fruit of the palate has rifle shots of red berries, tannins also allowed to make their mark, oak neatly controlled.
2016 Skuttlebutt Sauvignon Blanc Semillon || 94 Points
Sauvignon blanc has always managed to invest Skuttlebutt with an extra coat or two of rich fruit, with passionfruit, guava, Meyer lemon and cut grass all creating a daisy chain, the flavours skipping past and returning equally quickly. This takes on Marlborough’s sauvignon blanc on its own terms.
2016 Skuttlebutt Rosé (Sold Out) 2017 Vintage Now Available || 93 Points
Bright clear colour; a fairground of riotous red fruits of every description that are joined at the hip and drive this intensely flavoured rose onto a long, fruity, yet bone dry finish. Terrific value.
New Release Wines
2014 Serie Luminosa Chardonnay || 96 Points
Hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, wild and cultured yeast, matured for 11 months in French barriques (40% new). Pale straw-green; this is pure class, in one sense understated, in another absolutely compelling in its purity, focus and length. It will revel in the security of its screwcap, gaining greater complexity over the years ahead as its mix of grapefruit and stone fruit expand. Drink some now, some later, and some much later.
2016 Stella Bella Chardonnay || 95 Points
Brimming with life and energy, the fragrant bouquet of citrus and white flowers, the palate intense and very long; the flavours are spun around beacons of white peach and grapefruit, the barr el-ferment inputs simply adding complexity .
2015 Skuttlebut Cabernet Shiraz || 89 Points
One of a handful of such blends in Margaret River, cabernet dominant, shiraz operating to fill the mid-palate and soften the savoury impact of the cabernet - but certainly not hiding it. Good value.

2014 Suckfizzle Sauvignon Blanc SemiIIon || 96 Points
If you are absolutely confident about the quality of the grapes, and the synergy between the varieties, you can afford the luxury of barrel fermentation and extended maceration in French oak. This is one of a handful of Margaret River sauvignon blancs that move into another universe of complexity and longevity. No one should dismiss this wine without tasting it and learning of its majesty.
2014 Suckfizzle Cabernet Sauvignon || 95 Points
The richest and most forthright of the ‘14 Cabernets, firm tannin guy ropes running through the blackcurrant fruits from start to finish. As ever, the balance and varietal integrity are unquestioned, time the only missing ingredient at this point.
2014 Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon || 93 Points
Matured in French oak for 18 months. The bouquet is very expressive, with cassis and redcurrant fruit aromas, the medium to full-bodied palate adding a pronounced savoury shaft of flavour tightly linked by powerful tannins. Has the balance to justify the cellaring it needs.

24/07/2017 at 4:08 PMThe Beauty of Southern Margaret River
Our winery and five vineyards are located in southern Margaret River. An area of our region we love for its unique climate, landscape and abundant beauty.
The trees are taller, the rainfall is higher, the climate is cooler and the vines flourish. This pure and pristine environment creates wines with finesse and elegance. The extreme temperatures of summer are reduced by the extra cloud cover and cool winds from the oceans. The coldest parts of winter are warmed by the same factors, resulting in a longer, cooler ripening period, creating elegant wines with distinctive varietal complexities and structure.
These climatic factors have a huge impact on both red and white wines. White varieties such as chardonnay, semillon and sauvignon blanc have higher natural acidity, giving the wines a pleasing mineral character that stimulates the palate. With chardonnay this allows us to undertake secondary malolactic fermentation to produce wines with a luscious creamy texture while maintaining that springwater minerality. Red varieties such as shiraz and cabernet sauvignon display more delicate and elegant flavors, as the grapes ripen more slowly. This allows us to achieve tannin ripeness in the seeds and skins and maintain elegance and finesse in our finished wines without risking potential high alcohol levels.
Our vineyard soils are best described as Forest Grove soils, which are made up of varying compositions of gravel, sand, clay and loam. Generally these soils achieve good heat retention due to a high gravel content. This allows for well-balanced vine growth due to low soil fertility and low to moderate available water. This recognised soil type is ideal for growing most varieties, in particular high quality cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay.

25/12/2016 at 4:20 PMNews from the Vines - December 2016
Summer is one of the busiest times of year in the vineyard. Here is what this weeks to do list looks like…
- Finish shoot thinning to open up the canopy and allow the sun to shine on the developing shoots and fruit, plus allow air flow through the canopy.
- Lift the trellis wires to capture the rapidly growing shoots.
- Remove leaves around the fruit zone in cabernet sauvignon… this is very important to decrease herbaceous characters in the wine.
- Start irrigation as summer is finally here!
- Monitor new plantings of cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc and chardonnay… current 97-98% strike rate.
Vintage 2017 is shaping up to be a very good one. Our beloved chardonnay had finished flowering and is looking lovely. Cabernet sauvignon, sauvignon blanc and shiraz have just started flowering at our Gnarawary Road Vineyard.
10/12/2016 at 4:20 PMNews from the Winery - December 2016

96 points and James Halliday’s Top 100 November 2016
In distinctive Stella Bella fashion, the wine is loaded with tropical fruits fit for an Arabian feast, starting with passionfruit, gooseberry, continuing with green pineapple, finishing with punchy citrussy acidity that intensifies and prolongs the impact of a real wine.
95 Points & Runner-up Best Wine West Australian Ray Jordan Summer Drinks Guide 2016
This is right in the groove for the modern expression of Australian sauvignon blanc that is starting to erode some of the dominance of the New Zealand wines. Loaded with nectarine and gooseberry plus a healthy minerally crunch that adds plenty of punch to the palate. Has a deep flavour profile and long finish. If you have been turned off savvies for a white, I strongly recommend giving this one a go. It will not disappoint.
