WA Wine Review – BEST SAUVIGNON BLANC & BEST MALBEC

The 2026 WA Wine Review has just landed, and we are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded “Best Sauvignon Blanc” and “Best Malbec” – an outstanding result among an extensive line-up of wines from every region across Western Australia.

“This fumé style savvy has been really well made in that while it’s been wild fermented in old chardonnay barrels, the degree of oak influence has been held in perfect balance. At the same time, it’s created a wine of richness and texture and layers of flavour with a slightly lemony nutty character and a fine savoury minerally finish. This is the type of wine that shows the versatility of sauvignon blanc, and it will age well.”

 “Malbec has been a winner at Talisman over a number of years, and I’d have to say this one is as good as any I have seen. It captures all the ripe, generous fruit that you expect from this variety, and it delivers it with the supple tannins and the support of some nice oak, plenty of vibrant red fruits, a little bit of spice and a slightly chalky character that gives structure. It’s seamless and smoothly integrated, and brings another dimension to this variety.”
