Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2009

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

"Deep, dense, dark, youthful red/purple colour. The bouquet is super-ripe and borderline jammy. It's essency and has a liqueur-like aspect. Lots of oak and syrupy, sweet-fruited flavour. This will please the hedonists.. A whopper. It should age very well...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "Very deep colour, starting to show development in its hue but retaining a good amount of purple in the meniscus; the bouquet is very complex and mellow, earthy and dark-to-red fruited, the palate is full-bodied and firm with ample...

Balnaves The Tally Reserve Cabernet 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra

  "As the Reserve, this wine has the right to flex extract, concentration and muscle across some oakier ribs. And yet, Balnaves' finely hewn grape tannins-all pulpy and chewy-along with a proclivity toward refinement over excess, keeps it all in...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2016

Region: VIC- Grampians

  "Beautiful perfume, silky medium weight, touches of spice and herbal detail, bright red berry fruit spectrum and a fine dusting of pepper. It’s a really lovely wine, glorious for its texture, brilliant for its length and elegance, though...

Schild Estate Moorooroo Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "Sourced from vines planted in 1847, this is a full-bodied, open-knit wine, supple and velvety in texture. Vanilla cream and black cherries mark the nose, while the flavors are more savory, resembling black olives and grilled meat. It's...

Penfolds Bin 28 2017

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Well-balanced. Whirling black fruits and an oscillating shiraz disposition – Bin 28 by any other name, personality intact. Flavours akin to a consommé of dried porcini mushrooms; structurally embedded with grainy/sandy tannins...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2012

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Over the years a flag bearer for Saltram in vintages where its power and intensity are matched by its complexity, 2012 being such a vintage. The colour is that of a 1yo, and the complex array of black fruits are welded to the oak and tannins."...

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2008

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

"Deep garnet-black colored, the 2008 Stonewell Shiraz presents relatively youthful notes of warm black plums, blackcurrant cordial and crushed blueberries over licorice, chocolate box and yeast extract. Full bodied, ripe, rich and expressive in the...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Clarendon

Wynns Black Label Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

   "A fascinating wine that is as much Coonawarra genetics, stamped across its sinuous tannins, as it is cool climate medium-bodied shiraz of blueberry, mulberry, lilac scents and sash of peppery acidity." - James...

Region: SA- McLaren Vale
Vegan-friendly Sustainably-made

Best's Thomson Family Shiraz 2012

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "The sheer vibrancy and purity of fruit is nothing short of a marvel from these grand, dry grown 1867 vines planted by Henry Best himself. The 2012 is just the 13th release, precociously backward on release, promising a monumental future, yet so...
