Burgers & Bluegrass Tasting Flight

Burgers and Bluegrass

Throughout May and June, visit our Hunter Valley Cellar Door and explore how exceptional red wines age and improve.

You can explore Saddler’s Creek iconic Bluegrass Collection where you can experience how these wines evolve with cellaring.

These full bodied red wines are renowned for their exceptional aging potential, that develop a greater depth of flavour and complexity over time. 

We’ve carefully selected the best wines from the finest vintages to reserve and cellar with confidence knowing these wines, with time and patience will evolve and mature beautifully.

We invite you to taste the current release alongside their eight years matured versions. Known as a “Vertical Flight”, you will sample Australia’s most adored red varieties and blend and enjoy each bracket with paired slider, because we know wine is enhanced with the right food pairing.

The Bluegrass Collection is crafted for longevity. Upon release, it boasts bold and vibrant black fruit flavors that are balanced by firm tannins, giving the wine a powerful full bodied structure.

As the wine ages, it transforms and becomes increasingly complex and refined. The tannins begin to soften, allowing the fruit flavors to meld together in perfect harmony, making the wine richer yet smoother. The finish becomes longer and more lingering, leaving a remarkable impression with each passing year.

What your Tasting Flight includes:
