![]() Sevenoaks Wines is a boutique wine distribution company in Singapore whose focus is on providing premium quality wines. Sevenoaks Wines vineyard is located in the Hunter Valley where by parcels of distinctive, high quality wines from small vine plantings can be intensively cared for.
With the wine industry going “global” many large wine producers are producing greater and greater volumes of varietal and regional blends that are increasingly homogeneous and un-differentiated in taste. Our approach is to manage each area within the vineyard according to individual need and to produce sympathetic, distinctive wines styles in small parcels and in so doing offer our clients different, interesting and enjoyable experiences.
The first of our wines, our 2000 Rows 1 to 26 Shiraz, was released in Singapore in November 2002. In Australia, it has won 5 show medals to date in addition to receiving favourable reviews from acclaimed wine critic James Halliday. For further details please visit the wine page.

2000 "Rows 1 to 26" Shiraz
This wine was made from a small parcel of intensively cared for, hand pruned
and hand picked shiraz grapes that were picked in two tranches to ensure the
entire selection was harvested at optimum ripeness.
Handled in the Burgundian style this wine exhibits intense, youthful plumb
colours and nose redolent of blueberries, game, licorice and tobacco. The
palate is well balanced, having soft mouth entry, rich fruit weight with
integrated tannin and acidity, which together provide exceptional length of
flavour and the promise that further aging will result in a truly exciting wine.
Best enjoyed in 2004. Alcohol 13.2%.
Medals won:
Bronze, class 28, Hunter Valley Wine Show, August 2001
Bronze, class 16, NSW Small Winemakers Show, September 2001
Bronze, class 25, Australian Small Winemakers Show, November 2002
Bronze, class 39, Hunter Valley Wine Show, August 2003
Silver, class Shiraz, Hunter Valley Boutique Winemakers Show, October 2001
Silver, class 38, Hunter Valley Wine Show, August 2002
Acclaimed wine critic James Halliday has given our Rows 1 - 26 Shiraz 2000 a
favourable review in October 2001. He said "the outcome has been a success"
and "the palate has an interesting texture and structure, possessing finesse as
well as lots of fruit and soft oak flavour."

Rows 1 to 26 Shiraz
From our first vintage the 2000 to our fourth vintage the 2003, mother nature
was on our side, until year 2004...
The harvest for 2004 was not ideal, the grape was not good enough for our
Rows 1 to 26. We took the difficult decision to sell off the grapes leaving us
with no bottling for 2004 vintage.
It was also during 2004, our corporate wine business begin to take off in
Singapore and Malaysia and the entire 2003 vintage was sold out to just a
handful of corporate clients.
This prompted us to bottle the remaining 2002 vintage into 187ml
bottles instead of the standard 750ml bottle, thereby giving us 4 times more
bottles to sell and that help see us through to the bottling of the 2005 vintage.
Meanwhile we begin to explore the idea of blending wine to cater to specific
taste requirement, for corporate or local taste preference. Hence, in 2007 the
Sevenoaks, Hunter Series was created.."

![]() This Cabernet Sauvignon was sourced from the Lower Hunter Valley by John
Hordern, a well-known wine-maker from the Hunter Valley wine region.
From the onset, John Hordern’s task is to source for quality grapes without
which, is not possible to make good wine.
In my selection of the red wine varieties presented by John Hordern, I selected
the 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon. I was impressed with quality of the wine – a
classic nose of cassis and black cherries. I have added a small portion of Shiraz
to provide a little stuffing to the Cabernet as well as giving the wine a little more
dimension in flavours.
Again, this red wine is created for the Asian palate as well as to complement
Asian food. This wine has the fresh aroma of black/red fruits with a hint of sweet
spices, rounded intense flavours in mid-palate and ripe tannin to support the
finishing.
This red wine is ideal for Asean cuisine, be it meats stewed in black soya sauce
or light spicy sauce, roast duck and peppered crab.

This premium Chardonnay was sourced from the Lower Hunter Valley by John
Hordern, a well-known wine-maker from the Hunter Valley wine region.
From the onset, John Hordern’s task is to source for quality grapes without
which, is not possible to make good wine.
After the vinification and settling the wine in stainless tanks in early autumn,
John and I tasted the wine. With John’s input on the wine’s characteristics, my
focus as an Asian, is to create a white wine that is crispy with subtle fresh fruits
characteristics as well as having the ability to complement Asian food.
In my evaluation of the Chardonnay, I have added a small portion of Verdelo
to the blend. The idea is to give the wine the added texture in flavours. The
result is a white wine with subtle peach, guava and a hint of floral notes,
refreshing midpalate and a savoury finishing of soft ripe fruit acids.
This white wine would be complementary to fresh seafood, deep-fried fish in
light soya sauce, soya sauce chicken, hokkien mee and cold cuts. Besides, it is
just as pleasurable on its own while snacking on a packet of menglembu
peanuts while watching your favourite TV show.
