Estate’s super premium range.
Displaying exceptional quality, the 3 Bridges range continually wins
accolades on the domestic and international wine show circuit. The super
premium range is barrel matured for 12 to 18 months. The range includes
Durif, Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Chardonnay and Botrytis Semillon.
Durif
is a newly emerging variety and is a wine that sets Westend apart from
other wineries and regions due to the exclusivity of where the grapes
are grown. It is a wine of intense fruit flavours, intense colour and
tannins that requires long aging.
Westend Cool Climate Series
The Westend Cool Climate Series is focused on producing the highest quality wine from small hand selected parcels of fruit with intense flavours. The white wines in this series are the Canberra District Riesling and the Canberra/King Valley Semillon Sauvignon Blanc. The Cool Climate reds are both from the Hilltops Region near Young and consist of a Shiraz and Tempranillo.

is dedicated to the Calabria family.
The Calabria range is a premium
range with ‘alternative varietals’ such as Viognier, St Macaire
and Shiraz Viognier which are also barrel matured.
Saint Macaire is a
rare French variety and Westend Estate is currently the only producer
of Saint Macaire in Australia giving Westend Estate a point of difference
in the market.

The Richland range is dedicated to the founders of Westend Estate, Francesco and Elizabeth Calabria.
Francesco and Elizabeth were pioneers of the ‘rich land’ of the Riverina which is now a wine region with unlimited potential. The Richland range is Westend Estate's premium commercial range which overdelivers on quality and is suitable for everyday drinking.
The Richland range includes well known and popular varieties such as Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Viognier, Shiraz, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Merlot.
Poker Face
A Poker Face is a term thought of as
emotionless & stern. A player may wish
to play (Poker or Texas Hold ‘em) with a
Poker Face to conceal their hand and
bluff their opponent. Try this wine and
you know you’ll have a full house –
(We’re not Bluffing!). Great tasting and
value for money, these wines are
suitable for everyday drinking.
Eternity
Eternity sparkling is made with gentle handling to preserve the
delicate primary fruit and avoid extracting phenolics from the
soft skins. Grapes are night harvested, fully destemmed and
gently crushed with some whole berries, then immediately
pressed in an air-bag press. The juice is cold settled and clear
juice is fermented slowly at very cool temperatures 12-14C.
The dry wine is aged on primary fermentation lees for 12
months before being stabilised. The wine is then sweetened
and re-yeasted for the secondary fermentation in pressure tank
the “charmat technique”, this fermentation with subsequent
lees aging takes place over six to eight weeks, the wine is then
filtered and bottled under full sparkling pressure to produce
this naturally fermented sparkling wine.
