Varieties

Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2017

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

  "Intense limey goodness here, which will roll on to become a classic white Hunter Burgundy with bottle age: a subtle white flower perfume tells part of tale. Perfectly pitched, intense and crunchy, flavoursome too, with weight but no heaviness...

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

    "The wine was fermented in a combination of stainless steel statics and traditional concrete open fermenters with header boards. Temperatures were allowed to reach 28C. Pump overs on the stainless-steel fermenters were performed four...

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley
Sustainably-made

...

Clos Clare Riesling 2017

Region: SA- Clare Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "‘Off the scale’, were the first few words written in my notes for this wine. The freshness and attack of fruit is unnerving and it is so much pointier and piercing than the languid, lush 2016. With more brio and zip, added to an...

Wynns Michael Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

   "Perfumed and musky, meaty and earthy, with pristine dark fruits, restrained oak and gentle, crunchy tannins. Long and supremely elegant." - Jeremy Oliver   "Coonawarra shiraz is an interesting conversation. A dialogue between cool...

d'Arenberg Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

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

"The vineyard runs alongside Coppermine Road and rarely crops above one tonne per acre. The grapes are “basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of new and used French oak barriques to complete fermentation.” There’s a sweetness to the fruit. This...

Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  “This release is very much in the established Filsell style, but it’s a better rendition of it than we’ve seen from recent vintages. This is rich, plush, dark and hearty, all of which you’d expect from Filsell, but...

Ulithorne Paternus Cabernet Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "This wine exhibits a beautifully deep crimson colour alongside plentiful aromas of blackcurrant, raspberry, and mulberry on the nose. The palate is bursting with ripe dark fruit such as plum and juicy blackberry, which are complemented by pepper...

Petaluma Coonawarra Cabernet Merlot 2010

Region: SA- Coonawarra

96 POINTS - GOURMET TRAVELLER!    "As always pairs cabernet sauvignon with merlot. I found a very attractive, fragrant bouquet of red fruits, particularly raspberry, with oak and cedary bottle-age all nicely melded. Peter Bourne agreed,...

Tyrrell's Vat 1 Semillon 2016 Winemakers

Region: NSW- Hunter Valley
Sustainably-made

  There's a wow factor to this wine, the way in which it manages to harness such impressive power and concentration and deliver it in such smooth, seamless and tubular shape is a thing to marvel at. Aromas of gently flinty lime and lemon fruits...

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2014

Region: VIC- Grampians

Grant Burge Meshach Shiraz 2012

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Lindemans St George Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: SA- Coonawarra

    Deep, bright, red/purple colour. Good freshness and intensity of cassis-like cabernet fruit; clean and true to the grape. The palate is elegantly weighted and tidy, with ample firm but ripe tannins and a clean finish which displays...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2013

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "This has very complex aromas of exotic spices with graphite and dark plums, as well as black tea, iodine, white pepper and some redder plum, too. The palate has a striking level of concentration of rich red plums and blackberries. Super-fine,...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2010

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Intense release. Wealth of quality fruit and tannin. Carries a trademark coffeed toastiness but it doesn’t hammer the point; this wine is characterised by inky plum and dark earth flavour, and an impressive serving of it. Indeed it’s...

Standish The Standish Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

Wine Front 96 Points! "Interesting to taste these wines. They have plenty of tannin, well-settled acidity, not a great deal of oak, and a ‘natural’ kind of feel. That is, they’re about fruit (and therefore vineyard) expression, yet also come across with...

Wild Duck Creek Alan's Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

Region: VIC- Heathcote

The Alan’s Cabernet was the wine that launched Wild Duck Creek Estate. Acidic soils of low fertility help to keep yields low in this vineyard, which comprises 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and a splash of Petit Verdot...

Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Region: SA- Coonawarra
Sustainably-made

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

Ray Jordan 96 points!"The cooler than normal season has resulted in a supremely elegant and most stylish expression of this famous wine. Perfumed notes on the nose with lifted red berry and hints of lavender. On the palate, the reduced opulence is...
