Wow... i admire your laid back atitude if this is one of your main concerns... you should fit right in. It seems pretty difficult to get Wine from the Margret River or Swan river areas in the UK, from those that i have tried they were very pleasent... some people say the reason you cannot find it in the Uk is that it is so good they prefer to keep it to themselves!!

I've actually found a local supermarket to me called Booths, They have some really different wines from Aust, Can even find one from just up the road from my MIL in Tasmania. Nice wine it is to.
Have a look they actually do mail order on there wine!

i managed to track down a supplier of western oz wine too after much hunting the guy now recognises me when i walk in the door
Spent a lovely day on brothers boat going down/up (?) the Swan river few years back stopping at a couple of vineyards on the way there and back - good job i wasnt driving the boat

From memory you could buy Margaret River wines in either Tesco or Sainsbury but I know they were quite expensive

I wouldnt bother myself, get yourselves over here then spend a couple of weekends going round the different wineries in Swan Valley and Margaret River, they all do free tastings

The vast majority of WA wines are from the Margaret River area. I have bought some Margaret River wines from Majestic in the past though they do tend to be at the expensive end of the range.

Hi
We like WA wines:
Threshers and Sainsburys do WA wine, one is from Swings and Roundabouts and the other is called something to do with a fish, they are about 7 quid a bottle. Tescos are not too good on WA wine. Asda do a Kiss Chasey red and wine which is WA and is sale at just under 6 quid a bottle. Did find an Evans and Tate but cant recall where from, think M & S (big stores only) and it is 9 quid a bottle!!!! Wish I could find some WA clear skins Label-less Tate and Evans wine).
Why doesnt UK do clear skins like Oz????
(a clear skins is decent wine in Oz that has a plain label on and no company markings and is usually surplus wine to get sold off - and fab - about $4-5 a bottle instead of $15-20)
Cant wait to return and drink more!!!

My OH buys a local clean skin chardonnay for about $7 or something and says it's the best he's ever tasted!

Santa

Madfish is the vineyard your talking about. If you contact the Wineries direct you may find that they will ship orders to the UK. You'll see when you live here that WA wine still arn't very cheap, most start from about $16 compared with maybe $9/10 from over East.

bridie

Yes, I agree they're not that cheap BUT I prefer to pay $15 a bottle that I know I will like than $7 from the bottle shop which usually ends up down the sink!!

I have a few favourites, Capel Vale Red Duck is nice, very light and refreshing, and Windance which is a small winery on Caves Road - they have some lovely reds.

We are going down to MR at Easter, cant wait

Woolworths had an offfer on shiraz and chardonnay cleanskins a few weeks ago - 6 bottles for $11.93. We have several boxes in the study!
