Shiraz

Clare Valley, South Australia. Displaying some lovely bottle age, this wine drinks beautifully, generous sweet fruit with a lick of licorice, pepper and fine soft tannins. Not to say it won't keep another few years...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. ‘Smells great. Raspberries, blackberries, dried herbs, maybe some floral notes. Sweet and summery but not jammy or overdone. Take a sip and you instantly note the energy this wine has. It’s up and about, alive to its possibilities. The flavours bounce around your mouth. It has a warmth but it has an elegance. Sweet at its core but only just. This is a terrific Oz grenache. Its best should be ahead of it.’...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. ‘Blackberry, plum, a little nougat and coconut, chocolate. Classic modern Barossa with a nod to tradition. Medium to full bodied, round and supple with ultra-fine grained tannin fleshing out the palate and just-right acidity through its core. Long through the finish with a kiss of oak and perfectly ripe dark berry fruit. Textbook.’...

Despite the alcohol, the only note of dried fruit is on the nose, the palate inky and purple jubey but quite pretty and balanced. Maybe even elegant (for a rich and full red).Ultimately this is real wine. Just rich, and layered and minty and finely tannic. Quality, commendable, big rich wine...

Eden Valley, Barossa , South Australia. The shiraz fruit was gently destemmed including 30% whole bunch into open top milk vats and fermented warm with natural bearing yeasts birthed from the vineyard with soft pump overs, hand plunging and basket pressed to barrel to complete ferment. Aged for 19 months in...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. A deeply alluring colour draws you in to a bouquet rich in red berry with a hint of spice. Red currants, plum and a hint of liquorish layer the palate. Rich, generous and structured the 2013 Shiraz will always be undeniably forward...

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Beneath a rich shade of crimson lies at its heart a deep, complex structure. Full of dried cranberry, cacao, blueberry and cherry. This wine is bold yet dazzling with a mosaic of flavours and a finish to match...
