These are the range of wines formerly under the Orlando label but since rebranded as Jacob's Creek. Can't see the rebranding having benefit locally, but I guess in the UK the existing strong branding may get people to trade up and try this range.
The '02 Steingarten is an absolute cracker - great vintage, great vineyard and a great wine ... although the price looks a touch high compared to what it was released for over here (Under £10 incl. tax). I'm not quite as keen on the other two wines mentioned though.

I havent seen them on the shelves here yet; will keep an eye out for the Steingarten though if you recommend it.
