Reviews
Carbunup Crest must have a large display case for the medals that they have won in recent years. They are producing wines with quality structure. This is Margaret River Wine at its best and at a most reasonable price.

Carbunup Crest is producing wines that have good concentration of flavour and texture. The wines are performing creditably at the shows against much more expensive wines. Great value wines.

You will be hard pressed to find better value in Margaret River than the reds from these guys. They are jam-packed full of ripe fruit with the oak and tannins harmonious throughout.
