Brian Oakwell Auswineonline
www.auswineonline.co.uk/
Auswineonline imports wine from small boutique wineries in Western Australia
and Victoria. We seek out Australian wineries who over deliver on quality.
These wine makers are passionate about their wines. They believe that great
wine is created in the vineyard and therefore will spend many hours there
controlling the growing and pruning. They use minimal intervention methods
in wine making. Most of our wineries produce small quantities, some as small
as 150 cases, so they really are special. You won't find them in the
supermarkets.
