Agricola Ebenezer Shiraz 2022
$80.00Hoffmann 1951 Dimchurch Home Old. Hoffmann 1888-1912 Dallwitz Old. 1,963 bottles produced. This 2021- 22 growing season will be remembered for its spring hail event in Flaxman Valley that led to painstakingly low crops at harvest and for a cool and mild growing season allowing for plenty of dark and savoury flavour development. This is […]

Eisenstone Greenock Shiraz 2021
$85.00Deep, bright red-purple colour; the bouquet likewise bright and fresh, initially with a high-note of freshly-sawn oak, which dissipated somewhat with time in the glass. The palate is bright, intense and elegantly weighted, just making the full-bodied weight category. It’s quite oaky but has good approachability, medium-long carry, and the tannins are ample and very […]

Eisenstone Koonunga Shiraz 2021
$85.00Classic Eisenstone colour, it’s hard to imagine that it spent 18 months in oak. The first release of the Koonunga Hill Shiraz, which would explain the unique flavour, shape and texture of this wine. Overtones of Eden Valley, with cola, rhubarb, blueberry, cinnamon, blackcurrant, oak spice and liquorice. Very open, juicy, translucent, pure and with […]

Delicious wine. 95 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review SR804. Grapes were sourced from renowned Roennfeldt Road in the sub-region of Marananga in the […]

Laughing Jack Greenock Shiraz 2019
$50.00Terrific rendition of Greenock Creek’s rich and opulent flavours. Full bodied, with black fruits, some sweet raspberry, sumac, cinnamon and wood spice. Round in shape, it’s not heavy and is surprisingly light on it’s feet. Despite all the apparent presence and flavour, there’s a youthful brightness, conveyed by the fine, soft tannins. Lovely focus and […]

Eisenstone Marananga Shiraz 2021
$85.00Deep and saturated red-purple colour; strong dark chocolate aroma with vanilla and black fruit flavours, earth, ironstone and graphite notes, the palate full-bodied and gritty with stony tannins and a firm, vise-like grip but not astringent. A stern and sturdy shiraz. 95 Points – Huon Hooke, The Real Review SR804. Grapes were sourced from […]

Eisenstone Ebenezer Shiraz 2021
$85.00A brighter and more floral creation. Even though it has the Eisenstone signature traits of earth-driven, blackcurrant and black cherry fruit, there are lighter moments and a smoother texture here, which means you can crack on relatively soon, which is a bonus! I think this cuvée gives me a few extra hints about what might […]

Stonegarden Northwest Grenache 2021
$65.00From vines planted in 1858 and 1854. This is really something, framed by cashmere tannins that run long, from beginning to end. Super aromatic, as with all the wines, a compote of fennel, aniseed, blackberry, blackcurrant, rhubarb, smoke and earth. Fresh and vibrant, very fine, with soft bones of structure and vivid red fruits on […]

Agricola Kalimna Sands Shiraz 2022
$80.00Incredibly complex aromatics. The flavours seem to be ducking and weaving, always something different or vanished whenever I plunge my nose to the glass. Blackberry, sweet raspberry, blueberry, cassis, potpourri, Japanese soy sauce, Chinese five spice, dark chocolate, kalamata olive and fresh compost. For all that, the whole bunch element dissipates somewhat overtime, but of […]

Greenock Creek Third Estate Shiraz 2020
$90.00Aromas of cherry, violet, plum, chocolate and woody notes. Intense and full bodied, a real attack of flavour. Enveloping with red fruits, the most in this lineup, blackberry, mulberry, chocolate, vanilla, fennel and wood char. Round in shape, fleshy and driven with lively acidity and lacey, chalky tannins. For all its size, this is remarkably […]

Iggy Lyndoch Barossa Valley Syrah 2020
$75.00Deep red, almost crimson in colour. Dense aromas of plum, black pepper, black currant, nutmeg, and a touch of smokiness. Aiming for savouriness rather than fruitiness here and showcasing elegance rather than robustness. Supple, yet very much present tannins with fairly fresh acidity. Pleasant mouthfeel with a long, persistent finish. Drinking well now but will […]

Stonegarden Shiraz 2019
$80.00Could this be anything other than Barossa Shiraz? One of the world’s most evocative wines, and it doesn’t seem to matter who it’s made by, the strength of Barossa Valley character always shines through. Expressive is an understatement; you can smell it from a dozen yards away. A compote of black, blue and red fruits, […]

Stonegarden Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$75.00One of Australia’s forgotten wines, Barossa Valley Cabernet is distinctive for its middle palate richness and sweetness of tannin. Classic Cabernet, with black fruits, blueberry, cigar box, milk chocolate and violets. Rich, medium to full bodied with lathered on fruit and lathered on tannins. There is an effortless poise and freshness to the character and […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see. Beautiful aromas, indeed, more lifted than the 21 with sweet and savoury spices, lavender, violets and a compote of sweet and tangy red, black and briary fruits. Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]
