Good product fairly priced on the whole. Postal delivery included. Quality wines with detailed information about the source and winemaker. Have tried the Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Merlot, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc Semillon. Cannot fault any. Like the no waste concept of the pouch return via a prepaid bag. Have taken a monthly subscription on the Rose so far at a 15% discount which is generous. Look forward to trying some of the other wines on offer.

I have been purchasing Greenskin wines for a while now as they are convenient and so much lighter to travel with. I enjoy WA wine and have enjoyed all the wines I have tried.When travelling in my small camper van I have very limited space and find I can fit a pouch in some small spaces or a whole box under the bed! The pouches fit perfectly in my very small fridge and I don’t have to worry about them breaking on a bumpy road. Not having to worry about glass has been a huge bonus and I just package up the empty pouches, which take up no room, and drop them in a post box when I pass one. I have just spent 10 weeks on the road and my box of wine was even sent to a different address for me so I could pick it up on my travels. I have shared some excellent wine with people I have met on my travels and introduced them to this wonderful product.

I enjoyed my Greenskin Wines during my travels in my Motorhome. I find they are great for travelling as more compact and no bottles rattling. Far easier to carry and great for the environment when you can return the satchels back to the Company

We were put onto Greenskin wines by our rear neighbour who manages the recycling company that recycles Greenskin packaging in Sydney. Took his advice and got our first medley selection of wines to carry on our North WA adventures. Have never looked back and for us, bottled wine has almost gone by the way. Best thing ever for 4WD adventures to some very remote spots in a great land. Nothing better than sitting around a camp-fire, beach or meteor crater with a Greenskin wine. Great packaging concept, excellent recycling and bloody good wines. We are all on board with Greenskin Wines.

Was recommended this wine from a friend who camps and travels a lot and was so pleasantly surprised. The Chardonnay is beautiful and buttery and so very drinkable. The packaging is great for storage and safe on bumpy roads. Also so good to be able to send the pouches back in the pre paid envelope.

MIKE’S WINE NOTES:

Mike Davies – Co-founder Greenskin Wine, winemaker and wine packaging specialist.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, The King & Queen of Red grape Varieties, are the foundation of the greatness of Bordeaux. It is quite incredible that in 50 short years, Margaret River has emerged as a region that regularly produces this blend with quality that makes the fine vignerons of Bordeaux want to cry!

While the Cabernet provides the spine & structure of power, tannin and astringency, the Merlot fills in the gaps and lends softer juicier and supple characteristics, making them ideal blending partners.

The 2020 vintage in Margaret River was notable as it was one of the few Australian wine regions that wasn’t disrupted by significant rain, bushfires, or covid lockdowns. Not only that, the growing conditions leading up to vintage were close to ideal and harvest conditions were also very kind.

The 2020 Cabernet Merlot has been made by winemaker Severine Logan from Calneggia Family Vineyards is all that we wished for. It has lively fruit with excellent weight, length & grip. All the hallmarks of its’ regal ancestors.

  • Colour: Vibrant red with purple hues
  • Bouquet: Forest berries and earth. Cherries, roasted almonds with slight notes of mushroom, capsicum and liquorice.
  • Palate: Medium weight with fleshy red and dark berries, savoury with slight aniseed hints completed by rounded cedary tannin grip.

HUON’S WINE NOTES:

Huon Hooke is a leading Australian wine writer, critic, educator and show judge, best known for his columns in Sydney Morning Herald Good Food and Good Weekend.

Deep colour with a faint residue of purple in the rim; there are tapenade, soy-sauce, olive paste and underlying blackberry/cedar cabernet aromas, the palate firm and solid, with masses of gripping tannins. There is an almost jammy note on the bouquet. The tannins are just a bit drying.

89/100 points. Bronze Medal Winner.
