Tasting Notes

A saddlebag full of fresh, picked, berries. The smell of leather and horsehair all tumbling among the fruits of the forest. All the provisions for a long ride, but keep it in the stable for a while longer

Winery Experience

Mintaro wines was established in 1984 by the current owner/wine producer, Peter Houldsworth.

Located in the historic town of Mintaro, the vineyards were originally planted in 1962 and consistently produce award winning wines. 

Mintaro Wines is a small boutique winery with an average production of between 3-4 thousand cases per year. We produce a range of premium red and white table wines.

We also have three reserve labels. Series one is Belles Femmes Shiraz. Series two is Leckie Window Cabernet Sauvignon. The final series is the Flying Doctor, a Shiraz. These three series come in a beautifully presented box set of 6 bottles each with its own individual label. These make an ideal gift for those people who are a little hard to buy for.

Series one Reserve Shiraz is called "Belles Femmes” and features six grand 19th century paintings of beautiful women.

Series two Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is called the "Leckie Window” and features six stunning Greek Mythological stained glass and leadlight images from a window designed and created by a prominent Australian artist in 1935.

The Flying Doctor series can be purchased with the book "Just What the Doctor Ordered" A guide to the Australian idiom by renowned Broken Hill artist, Howard William Steer and Peter J Nicholson. You couldn't find a better Aussie gift.
