Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2018

Region: VIC- Grampians

  "An excellent release that marries glorious perfume, superb texture, deep flavour, generosity and very fine tannins. It’s quite plummy, dusted with white pepper, clove and cinnamon spice, shows some mahogany and new leather depth and faint...

Saltram No. 1 Shiraz 2014

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Striking colour; deep and pure, intense to the edge. Rich, black fruit aromas jump from the glass, with spicy oak playing a supporting role. It's power is more fully felt on the palate, where deep layers of flavour vie for attention with the...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2017

Region: SA- McLaren Vale

  "The 2017 Astralis Syrah is a very fine wine. It is not a big wine. Perhaps its reputation for being a big, extracted wine is a misnomer these days. It has intention and drive and clarity and length—and the length of flavor is so long that...

Larry Cherubino Shiraz 2016

Region: WA-(Other)

  "A bouquet of spices, crushed herbs, red berries and spicy oak. The palate has youthful and intense flavours of savoury plum and cherry with earthy tannins." – Larry Cherubino   "So firm it's almost crunchy. It's all graphite and...

Clarendon Hills Domaine Clarendon Syrah 2017

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "Complex and fresh. There’s plenty here on the palate with ripe plums, blueberries and blackberries, all smoothly honed, neatly folded and carried long by the tannins. Intense blueberry flavour. Really impressive depth and drive here. So...

Yeringberg Shiraz 2018

Region: VIC- Yarra Valley

  "Shiraz 97%, Viognier 3%. The depth and character of the fruit that our Shiraz vineyard is now producing is a delight to see. Subtle, savoury and deep set, the 2018 Shiraz offers aromas of blueberry, black pepper and dark cherry, building weight...

Noon Winery Reserve Shiraz 2019

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

  "This opulent and densely concentrated wine is sourced from the ‘20 Rows’ block within the Borrett family’s Langhorne Creek vineyard. It is vinified in small, open vats, pressed using a traditional basket press and aged for 18...

Penfolds Bin 28 2016

Region: SA-(Other)

  "Bin 28 offers a showcase of warm-climate Australian Shiraz – ripe, robust and generously flavoured. First made in 1959, Bin 28 is named after the famous Barossa Valley Kalimna Vineyard purchased by Penfolds in 1945 and from which the wine...

Penfolds RWT 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "This walks in and takes over the joint. Sweetness, smokiness, creaminess, long chains of tannin, a general swagger. It’s a prime wine, alpha, smooth as silk but hulked up too. All its doubts are ahead of it; for now, it has none. It has to...

Penfolds Magill Shiraz 2017

Region: SA-(Other)
Sustainably-made

Henschke Mount Edelstone 2015

Region: SA- Eden Valley
Vegan-friendly Organic Biodynamic Sustainably-made

    "Deepish red colour with just a trace of purple in its rim, the bouquet is pungent raspberry, squashed overripe raspberry, classic Mt Edelstone. The wine is succulently fruit-sweet: gorgeously extravagant fruit floods the palate. It's...

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...

Best's Great Western Bin 0 Shiraz 2014

Region: VIC- Great Western

  "Best's' touchstones of history are part of what makes them one of my favourite Victorian wine producers (of a pretty long list of course). Something special though. As with this wine. Pours with that satisfying purply hue amongst the black and...

Clarendon Hills Astralis Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Clarendon

  "Appetizing scents of roasted meat and cinnamon toast meet red raspberries and black cherries on the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is densely concentrated and richly textured but closed, locked up by firm, dusty tannins that bar...

Larry Cherubino Shiraz 2015

Region: WA-(Other)

  "A bouquet of spices, crushed herbs, red berries and spicy oak. The palate has youthful and intense flavours of savoury plum and cherry with earthy tannins." – Larry Cherubino

Seppelt St Peters Shiraz 2017

Region: Australia-(Other)

  "Fantastic wine, no two ways about it. It’s not a big wine. It doesn’t need to be. It shows off pepper, plum, clove and graphite characters and it threads woodsmoke and cured meat characters throughout. It’s fresh but...

Penfolds Bin 150 Marananga Shiraz 2015

Region: SA- Barossa Valley

  "Substantial red wine and such a smooth operator. All the plums and the pleasure. Chinese five spice, soy, crushed ants, curry leaves and kirsch. Oak plays a role, and an important one, but the fruit keeps pushing through it. Tannin folds like...

Greenock Creek Alices Shiraz 2017

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "The ancient soil profile of this block adds a mineral aspect to the wine to complement dark cherries, red currants and mocha. The liquorice intensity melds with white chocolate dusted with roasted coffee to build the foundations to support the...

Torbreck The Factor Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Vegan-friendly

  "Torbreck's 2016 The Factor incorporates what winemaker Ian Hongell calls their "most structured Shiraz, from a lot of ironstone soils." It spends two years in French oak barriques, half of which were new, so it shows hints of cedar pencil...

Grant Burge Filsell Shiraz 2016

Region: SA- Barossa Valley
Sustainably-made

  "It’s awash with toasty, coffeed, creamy oak but it’s well matched to the red/black fruit flavour and it feels well balanced throughout. They’ve done a fine job in the making and presentation of this release. Earth, oak-spice,...
