Bunkers Wines is very excited to announce the appointment as “Official Wine Sponsor” for the Perth Fashion Festival 2011. This is the second year of participation for Bunkers Wines, which launched at the PFF2010 event last year.

We are launching something dazzling at PFF 2011….the first ever Bunkers Sparkling! A very welcome addition to the fashionable Bunkers range

The official Perth Fashion Festival program launch was held 9th of August at 140 Williams St Perth. Everything was themed black and white to reflect this year’s PFF2011 creative, with the stunning Nicole Trunfio as PFF2011 muse.

Guests enjoyed Bunkers Sparkling (its debut appearance) with beautiful black and white rose cupcakes while watching a snap shot catwalk preview of what’s to come for PFF2011 with bejewelled and embellished black, white and cream pieces created by some of WA most well regarded fashion designers.     

Overall a sparkling performance from Perth’s fashion, wine and cultural talents and a delicious taste tester of what’s to come for PFF2011 – we can’t wait!  

 

Bunkers is tickled pink about Tony Love’s fantastic review of the Bunkers Windmills Rosé 2010!  

‘A glossy, darker crimson-coloured style here. There’s a delightful rose and turkish delight-like fragrance to begin before you crunch into a mouthful of red berry and currant flavours. Brightness and zing are the main focus in the winemaking. Refreshment is the game and there’s something almost spring-seasonal about the wine in its fruit and aroma profile.’

Bunkers Windmills Rosé 2010 has been named Winsor Dobbin’s Wine of the Week ! Winsor gave the Bunkers Rosé an awesome review calling it ‘Delicate and Dangerously Drinkable!’ – see full review below….

‘If you are looking for a wine that will bring back that summer feeling, you won’t do much better than this bright, breezy and affordable rosé from the funky Bunkers stable in Margaret River, where wines are named after local surf breaks. Delicate and dangerously drinkable, if this were a pop band it would be Beach Boys – think great harmonies, sweet, high notes and unexpected complexity. Made from shiraz grapes, it’s alive with fresh red cherry and ripe strawberry characters, along with hints of Asian spices. It’s one for enjoying young and well chilled with Mediterranean or Middle Eastern dishes. And you can’t argue about the price.‘

The Box Tempranillo 2009 has been awarded a sliver medal in the Scoop Magazine Autumn Tasting! The Box has been described as ‘Light-bodied and easy drinking, this is the perfect wine to match with warm chorizo and olives. Lifted vanilla, bright red fruits and a touch of menthol flow seamlessly through this great example of West Australian Tempranillo. True to varietal form, expect high levels of grippy tannins and crisp acidity’

The Box was also awarded the top ’Best Bargains’ award of the Autmn tasting up against hundreds of other wines!
