Galafrey produces small parcels of distinctive and consistently excellent wines.
This is one of the most refined and stylish reds yet made by Ian Tyrer. Beautiful sweet red berry and slightly perfumed aromas. The palate is supple and succulent with quite delicious sweet fruit. Fine grained tannins and attractive integrated oak. Very promising"
There is a big nose choc a block full of dark cherry, spice and chockolate flavours here with sweet black cherry, spice and some nice intensity of pepper flavours. A stylish palate with silky tannins which are beautifully softened and a drink now finish. "Galafrey Frankland River Shiraz 2001 is a lovely wine. Delicious sweet ripe berry fruits on the palate combining with powerful dry tannins and understated but complimentary oak. Beautifully balanced! This is super value.’ Ray Jordan. The Western Australian. May 2005. “ Dark red-purple in colour. Black cherry, plum and some fleshy characters on the nose. Medium-ripe palate showing good fruit characters married to fine oak before nice long finish. A very nicely made shiraz showing the cooler spectrum characters. Medium term cellaring.”
