Harvey Steinman of  the

Wine Spectator says:
"I rated the Greg Norman Estates Cabernet-Merlot  Coonawarra 1996 at 91 points. A supple wine, it has more intensity and pure Cabernet character than many Australian wines made to sell for two or three times  the price. 

The Chardonnay Yarra Valley 1998 is not quite as spectacular. Its smooth     texture and bright, profuse pear, floral and apricot flavors earned it an 88."

GREG NORMAN ESTATES - A Word from Greg Norman

"Australia is home to some of the world's greatest wines and I always take pride in serving them
to friends and family in all corners of the globe.  In fact you could say that fine wine is one of the
great passions in my life behind my family and golf.

During my regular trips back Down Under I am always thrilled to see the development and
variety of great wines being produced.  So it is with great excitement I have struck up a
partnership with Australia's leading wine producer, Mildara Blass, to produce the first vintages
of Greg Norman Estates.

In association with Chief Winemaker Chris Hatcher, I have personally tasted and assessed many
of Mildara Blass' best wines from across Australia and come up with my two favourites.  The
two wines show off Australian fruit quality and winemaking expertise in their very best light -
both wines are benchmarks of their style.  The Greg Norman Estates intends to show off the
very best in Australian winemaking each year with fruit sourced from our own vineyards situated
exclusively in the premium grape growing regions."   (from the Mildara Blass Web Site)
