MacPhee's Wine Cellaring Specialists

The Daintree Rainforest in Queensland is home to one of Australia’s most stylish, luxury retreats Silky Oaks Lodge, The Daintree.

Set deep under the rainforest canopy, the folding scallion roofs of treehouse-style accommodation seem to float above expansive decks. Here you’ll find one of the resort’s luxury rooms, the Rainforest Retreat. MacPhee’s worked alongside Hunt Design to fully integrate EuroCave wine cabinets into these suites to complement guest’s downtime. The wine cabinets add a sophisticated element to the space, giving guests the perfect, personalised wine experience in the comfort of their own tropical getaway.

This Wine Room provides a sophisticated space for the owner to care for their
wine collection.

An unused bathroom was transformed into something both stylish and functional. The space features Vintage View racking and two EuroCave Royale Wine Cabinets built into custom joinery with a space allowed for glassware, wine crates and opened wines. The cabinets’ soft amber lighting subtly highlights bottles and is complemented by bronze glass to keep the room feeling warm and spacious.

The Durand wine opener is an essential addition to the cellar for any serious wine collector. It's exceptionally effective in removing compromised and fragile corks, whole and intact, from older, valued wines.

This La Premiere may be small but don't underestimate it.
Under 1m high and able to store up to 98 bottles in ideal cellaring conditions, you won't need to worry about space.

Talk to our wine cellaring specialists about the right option for you.

Our very talented Customer Service Manager made this amazing dartboard backdrop from wine corks. It now sits proudly in our office for lunchtime tournaments. Wine seems to make an impression in every aspect of life at MacPhee's, we can't get enough!

Enjoying the beautiful North East Victoria High Country.
No, its not a photo shoot for a NE promo or a magazine, just a few of us making the most of the wonderful accommodation at @, with Mt Buffalo views.
The wines were fantastic. Henschke Mt Edelstone is sometimes overshowed by its superstar stable mate Hill of Grace. However it's a superb wine and 2018 was no exception. Dan Standish, the owner, is a legend of a winemaker and all round super person.

Amazing news! 'The Cellar by Dan Murphy's, Martin Place,' has been named as a finalist for 'Store Concept Design of the Year' in the Inside Retail Australia 2024 Retailer Awards.

We're proud that we could assist in bringing The Cellar's vision to life with climate controlled spaces fitted with EuroCave Modulo-X racking and integrated backlighting. The perfect choice to both display and protect their most valuable bottles of wine.

Enjoy the little (big) things.

It takes quite a few pours from the Zalto Carafe no 25 to polish off a magnum of Grosset – but we managed to do it with some help from good clients. The 2017 Polish Hill has years ahead of it, even allowing for the fact this was in a magnum bottle, where wine ages more slowly.

Integrated wine cabinets work in perfect harmony with your home's interior. Seen here is a great example of a EuroCave Compact Wine Cabinet featured in a previous kitchen design on The Block.

When you’re at the Stokehouse - go with Will’s recommendations. He's one of Melbourne’s best and nicest sommeliers, in what is unquestionably one of the great dining spaces in Australia (and superbly supported by wonderful food).

You simply can't go wrong and the Chein Blanc from Bush Vines, it was superb with the seafood entrees.

Treat yourself on your next special occasion with dinner here and tell Will Martin we sent you.

What's the perfect summer whiskey cocktail to try these holidays? The Mint Julep!

To make the cocktails, fill each glass with crushed ice, bourbon, and simple syrup. If you really love lemon, brighten yours up with a squeeze of lemon. If you’re a mint julep purist, you can skip that step.

Stir together in your Norlan whiskey glass and garnish with lots of fresh mint. Shop Norlan Glasses! https://www.macphees.com.au/norlan/


(Simple syrup is actually simple to make! Just simmer water and sugar in a small saucepan, continuing to stir until the sugar is dissolved. To make it minty, remove the pan from the heat, add the mint and let it steep for 15 minutes to infuse the mint flavour. Strain and chill the minty simple syrup).

Reverred interior decorator and designer recently sat down with the EuroCave team to share her love of wine.

So what's in Shaynna's EuroCave wine cabinets?

"Mainly local wines, especially red wines from the Beechworth area, another wine region in Victoria State. These are Shiraz (Syrah), Grenache, Cabernet Sauvignon and my favourite, Pinot noir, wines. There are wine bars where you can sit down for a bite to eat, discover wines and take them home. I don’t have any French wine, though, because... it’s all been drunk!" 😂

Happy New Year from the team at MacPhee's!
May 2024 bring good times and great wines! 🍾🥳

Welcoming in the New Year with a couple of our French friends. Wishing you a wonderful 2024!

Nothing better than enjoying a good book over the Christmas break. Throwing it back to the The Wine Hunter by Campbell Mattinson. Have you read it?

Also don't forget to add How to Drink Australian by Jane Lopes and Jon Ross and Alternative Reality by Max Allen on your reading list this summer!

Merry Christmas from our Chief Morale Officer Tilly and the rest of the MacPhee's team! Wishing everyone a delightful holiday break surrounded by loved ones and a few bottles of the good stuff 🍷

It's nearly holiday time and our team will be taking a well deserved rest. MacPhee's will be closed between Friday 22nd December and Tuesday 9th January. Please submit any enquiries through our website during this time and we will be in touch in the new year! 🥂

Three things are guaranteed at a MacPhee's gathering! Great company, great food, and even better wine 🥂

Thanks for another amazing year team! Growing so fast we can't all ft in one frame.

Just like drinking a good wine, smoking a cigar is a special moment. With the EuroCave cigar humidor, you store your ci**rs in ideal conditions so the to***co leaves release all their flavours. The removable wooden presentation tray offers an elegant way to showcase your ci**rs to your guests.

The MacPhee's wine team had a great night at and there wasn’t much between a superb bottle of Saint Aubin Les Champlots 2014 and the Côte-Rôtie 2016.
Wonderful service from Patrick and the food was spot on too!

Brae never fails to impress! Michael, our National Sales Manager visited recently. He stayed at one of the guest suites on the farm. After a fantastic meal at the restaurant, he could sit on the porch soaking up the Australian sun, and enjoy a wine from the EuroCave Tête à Tête wine cabinet in his guest suite.

This Tuesday night, we hosted our annual Top 20 Wines of 2023. The showroom was buzzing as everyone arrived and Craig, co-founder of MacPhee’s, gave a brief history lesson on how the Top 20 first came about many years ago.

As always, our experienced Fine Wine Team carefully selected the very best wines that captivated them during the year. There’s something to be said about the way these wines are chosen, the broad range of style and price make them perfect for a wine lover’s many tastes while also being available and ready to purchase before the Christmas break.

There was a Burgundy from Francois Carillon, an icon from Tuscany’s Isole e Olena, an incredible-value, trophy-winning Cabernet from Yalumba... wines from Wynn’s, Bannockburn, Samuel Billaud, Sato from Central Otago, Mount Pleasant, Grower Champagne…the list goes on. You can certainly cellar some of the rarified, open a few over the holiday, and maybe even drink your favourite this weekend.

We're very proud to have been a sponsor and participant at the Australian Women in Wine Symposium, with both Tania MacPhee and Jenni Toogood attending in Sydney. Our commitment is to always support women and celebrate the value they add to the wine industry. We can't wait to see more of these successful events in the future!

A cellar conditioner – where wine meets precision, and passion meets perfection. 🍾❄️

A cellar conditioner like 's Inoa is essential for creating an environment where your wine collection can mature gracefully as the winemaker intended.

We loved seeing the Bermar featured at London's iconic Selfridges department store in last month's Vanity Fair issue. What better way to celebrate the start of the festive season than with a glass of fresh, bubbly Champagne!

If you need to keep your bottles of Champagne vibrant and lively for the busy weeks and months ahead, let us know and we can help you out with the Bermar Preservation System!

From Petit Chablis through to Premier and Grand Crus from some of the region’s greatest producers, Pearl Chablis and Oyster Bar in Melbourne boasts one of the most impressive ranges of Chablis in Australia. They are the perfect accompaniment for Pearl’s fresh, seasonal oysters which are sourced sustainably and shucked on demand.

Pearl's climate-controlled wine wall had to look spectacular while also performing the crucial role of protecting the very best of their 500+ wine collection. The Vino Pins were such a chic wine racking choice that give each bottle their own moment, and we love how it's all come together.
Go give a visit this summer!

A little look at what MacPhee's gets up on our weekly Wine Huddle Thursdays! This week the team were sampling some great wines while we discussed upcoming projects.

Craig's wine breakdown - "The first Chablis disappeared and required a quick run to the cellar for another (we have a thirsty team!!) Then we checked in on how the 18 Rippon Pinot from one of the most scenic vineyards in the world was developing. Finally, I think someone mentioned Chianti and off I went to find a wine team favourite".
