BEELGARA Estate

THE VINES, SHIRAZ – CABERNET

South East Australia, 2013

Beelgara Estate was formed in 2001 after the purchase of the 60-year old Rossetto family winery. The emphasis has changed significantly, with a concerted effort to go to the right region for each variety, while still maintaining good value for money.

The Vines Shiraz Cabernet is light in style, food friendly and instantly approachable. These wines will compliment most food styles and are perfect wines for entertaining, whatever the size of your table.

This soft and fruity red blend shows attractive cherry flavours. Subtle oak provides depth and structure to this harmonious wine.

Bangor Town Regatta - RUYC Rear Commodore Report

11/7/2018

Bangor Town Regatta – a note from the Rear Commodore

The big event of my tenure as RC has come and gone in what seems like a flash. The months of planning by the BTR Committee under the chairmanship of Jim Coffey resulted in a highly successful Regatta with an excellent turnout of keel boats and also of RS 200s and RS 400s for their Irish Nationals, held as part of the BTR. Seen from my vantage point on Witchcraft in NHC Restricted, the four days of racing were keenly contested in all classes. The Waverley World Championships also took place during the Regatta.
