Stella Bella Wines is a privately owned wine company in the Margaret River region of Western Australia that makes wines under the quixotic brand names of Stella Bella, Suckfizzle and Skuttlebutt.

While the brands are differentiated by sub-regions, vineyards, style, price and curious names, the objective is always to create wines of expression, personality and interest with an emphasis on unique imaging.

As a wine producer Stella Bella aims to be:

CREATIVE - while curious about new and different wine styles and grape varieties we never neglect the virtues and lessons of tradition.

OPPORTUNISTIC - our own vineyards provide much of our fruit yet we are always in search of grape growers with a Stella Bella vision.

EXCELLENT - we aim to deliver an individual range of crafted, quality wines.

Since 1997, the single vineyard of Suckfizzle at the Southern end of the Margaret River region has produced very individual styles of wine which, over time, have become icons for the region as a whole. Suckfizzle’s cool climate and maritime influence create wines with elegance, tight acids and superb complexity. Inspired by some of he great wines of Bordeaux, Suckfizzle wines are a rare, highly individual take on the traditional style of the region.

The Stella Bella label was first created to sell the now essential Pink Muscat but rapidly expanded to become one of the regions most easily identifiable brands. All wines are from the Margaret River region and take in some classic styles such as Semillon Sauvignon and Cabernet Merlot…as well as more exotic blends of Sangiovese and Cabernet as well a single varietal Tempranillo.

The wines of Skuttlebutt are Western Australian designated but are great introductions to the classic styles of the region. Retaining all the stylistic goals and refinement of the other labels in the portfolio, Skuttlebutt is an irreverent expression of the enjoyment, pleasure and mischievousness that are the foundations of the company as a whole.

		SAUVIGNON SEMILLON Stella Bella From the producers of cult Margaret River winery, Stella Bella, comes Skuttlebutt - a quirky new take on a Western Australian classic. Crisp, tangy and bright with bags of succulent ripe fruit with hints of gooseberry and grapefruit. Combined with the eyecatching label and memorable name, this is another winner.
		SHIRAZ MERLOT ROSE, Stella Bella A vibrant strawberry filled concoction laden with ripe exotic berry fruits with hints of spice and turkish delight, crisp zingy and enticingly moreish.
		SHIRAZ CABERNET, Stella Bella Strapping aromas of oak spice and dark chocolate are roused with the scents of rich crimson and soft red fruits. The bold offerings of blood plums, mulberries, redcurrants and blueberries impart awesome fruit power to the palate, and a composite of powdery oak and fine chalky fruit tannins add a bridling hold to finish.

		SAUVIGNON BLANC, Stella Bella Not known for its Sauvignon, Australia's climate is often too warm. However, here we have one of the new stars! Cool, crisp and concentrated, the grassy, gooseberry fruit leaps from the glass demanding to be drunk!
		CHARDONNAY, Stella Bella A spectacularly fine, tight knit Chardonnay showing great elegance and style. Crisp lemony character overlaid with nutty, well integrated oak flavours. More Burgundian than Australian but with underlying new world panache!
		SEMILLON SAUVIGNON, Stella Bella A classic Margaret River blend of crisp, grassy sauvignon and tangy, citrussy semillon. Vibrant, massively refreshing and likely to become a true star.
		VIOGNIER, Stella Bella Another beautiful oddity from the remarkable Stella Bella winery. Viognier's naturally aromatic, sensual qualities are crafted into something altogether more complex after time in fine french oak. Rich, slight unctuous with lifted apricot, peach and elderflower notes on a palate that leads through to a creamy yet crisp finish.
		SANGIOVESE CABERNET, Stella Bella An innovative blend from one of the new stars of Australia. The cabernet gives great depth of plum, cassis and bramble fruit whilst the Sangiovese adds complex fruitcake and tea flavours. Savoury and very delicious
		SHIRAZ, Stella Bella A cooler climate example of Shiraz from Margaret River with spicy, peppery flavours. Medium bodied, elegant and savoury with concentrated dark fruit flavours, subtle oak complexity and great length.
		CABERNET/MERLOT, Stella Bella Echoing the great Bordeaux blends, this wine offers a little more generosity of style than one might find in its French counterparts! Well structured but with soft, smoky, brambly fruit backed up by tobaccoey, vanilla laced oak ageing.
		TEMPRANILLO, Stella Bella Never ones for complying with the ordinary or the banal, Stella Bella have once again come up with an off-the-wall, stunning example of this Riojan grape. Unlike the gentle, mellow wines of Rioja, Stella Bella's wine is full bodied, rich, voluptuous and seriously decadent - jam packed with dark, brooding bramble and blackcurrant fruit overlaid with restrained, spicy oak.
		PINK MUSCAT, Stella Bella A totally unique wine with a startling pink colour and haunting bouquet of wild strawberries and violets. Slightly sparkling and lusciously sweet, this is fantastic sipped ice cold on a summer's day or to accompany light, fruit based desserts.
		SAUVIGNON / SEMILLON, Suckfizzle A cult wine back in Oz, this is the finest example of its type! Replicating the finest white Bordeaux wines, the Sauvignon and Semillon are barrel fermented to give an intriguing mix of fresh, vibrant, citrus flavours intermingled with the rich, creamy, nutty flavours from the oak. Stunning food wine and on strict allocations in the U.K!
		CABERNET SAUVIGNON, Suckfizzle The Margaret River region is famed for making some of the most elegant reds in Australia. Here the Cabernet Sauvignon gives a powerful core of cassis, bramble and plum fruit character backed up by firm, yet accessible tannins and well integrated French oak. Made for the long haul but stunning now!
