New Rating from James Halliday
Michael and Wendy were pleased to receive a 3 and a half star rating in the 2012 edition of James Halliday's Wine Companion. Not bad for a duo that do all the work themselves!!!! Have a look at 'our wines' to see some of the ratings we received.
Rieslings showing good form
Dionysus Winery 2011 Riesling has been released and is looking like the best Riesling we've produced to date. Well worth a visit for a taste!

The 2009 Shiraz is displaying the wonderful fruit and oak flavours as the very popular 2007 Shiraz.

Bad news for the ever popular May Riesling. Due to the horrid growing conditions in 2011, Dionysus Winery won't have its late picked riesling. "The May Riesling" was made to celebrate 10 years since the first vine planting at Dionysus Winery and the 99th birthday of May Mahood (Wendy's grandmother) who planted the first vine on her 89th birthday. May turned 102 this October and Dionysus Winery will keep making her special Riesling.
