Hochkirch Villages Pinot Noir 2021
$50.00This is 100% estate fruit, 25% whole bunches were retained while the balance of the crop was destemmed. A wild ferment was in small open vats and the juice had about three to four days rest before some gentle foot-stomping and a daily plunge. Everything was pressed after 14 days into tank, and then gravity-fed […]

Hochkirch Syrah 2021
$50.00The 2017 was the first Hochkirch Syrah we tasted. Revelatory; unique and detailed, we simply could not believe this was an Australian wine. The 2021 is a little deeper, with slightly darker blackberry fruit, structure, fine detail, gamey notes, freshness and a compelling herbal and spicy lift. Very fine, moreish and refreshing.

Hochkirch Maximus Pinot Noir 2021
$70.00This is the best Pinot Noir that John can produce each year at Hochkirch, some years it is not made. These are the oldest vines and the best barrels. This wine always has a sensual, elegant mouthfeel but with outstanding retention of acidity and freshness and a distinctive earthy, sappy complexity which is the terroir. Pure, […]

Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2020
$115.00Deep, dark and very bright purple-red colour, with a lovely detailed aroma of chocolate and herbs, both fresh and dried; floral nuances and red fruits, hints of spices and the palate is very full-bodied and generous with lashings of supple tannins, all in harmony with the great depth of fruit. A complex wine already: it […]

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 […]

Eisenstone Marananga Shiraz 2020
$85.00Deep, dense colour with blackberry and smoky char-oak aromas, a touch of tar and ironstone, the palate full-bodied and rich, deep, dense and concentrated, the tannins supple and fleshy-smooth. 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 […]

Eisenstone Mattschoss Vineyard Greenock Shiraz 2021
$115.00Deep bright colour and a tinge of sawn-oak among the aromas that include tar, graphite, various nutty and woodsy aromas, complemented by brown spices. The wine is intense and piercing, taut and long, with ample tannins adding a touch of chew. A solid, concentrated wine that will benefit from a little more time in bottle. […]

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 […]

Eisenstone McDonald Vineyard Marananga Shiraz 2021
$115.00Deep, dense colour with a powerful, concentrated bouquet of blood plum, blackberry and ironstone, hints of chocolate/mocha, the palate likewise concentrated and essency, with density and saturation, and the tannins are pervasive, mouth-coating and gently chewy. Quite a lot of oak, but it finds balance on palate in spite of its massive proportions. 96 Points […]
