Place of Changing Winds Heathcote Syrah 2020
$45.00Alongside the Marsanne, this is one of our favourite releases this year. The 2020 Place of Changing Winds Syrah is a game changer as far as we’re concerned. Heathcote is full bodied, massive even, with a fleshy succulence, ferrous hints and an iron grip. Until we tasted this. Sure there’s a deeper, darker intensity than […]

Lambert Wines Crudo Shiraz 2021
$30.00Luke Lambert’s Crudo Shiraz has always been about youthful charm: it’s a young, vibrant and juicy red, with the Yarra’s granitic Denton Hill outcrop helping to tick all those boxes. It’s a warmer site than the Tibooburra vineyard (from where the Estate Syrah is sourced) and so the wine is naturally juicier and more primary-fruit-driven. […]

Laughing Jack Jack’s Shiraz 2019
$25.00Plum, cherry & mulberry almost take a back seat to the array of spices. Black pepper, all spice, cloves and star anise. Equally earthy beetroot, cola and black olives strive for centre stage. Medium bodied, soft silky mid palate with structural grainy tannins on the finish. The drying tannins are a reflection of the very […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2019
$30.00Out of Stock
This superb shiraz has a rich core of dark fruits, blueberries, chicory, juniper and dark chocolate. It’s big, voluptuous and brilliantly balanced with great fruit sweetness, grippy finely grained tannins and fresh acidity. Perfect drinking now but will cellar for another 6-8 years if preferred. If you like big, rich McLaren Vale reds, this one’s […]

Swinney Farvie Syrah 2020
$155.00This is a Syrah that will make the wine world sit-up and think what is possible for this variety in Frankland River. In fact, it is one of a number from several producers showing a new direction and exploration for Syrah from this region. The typical Australian model for Shiraz has been tossed out here. […]

JC’s Own Greenock Shiraz 2018
$65.00The 2018 single vineyard Greenock is a strong but sensual Shiraz – big on fruit intensity but with a supple, svelte palate. Mouth-wateringly good! Bold, brash, assertive red of booze-soaked stewed berries, sweet spice, earthy savouriness, brined black olives with a match between the fog of scent and wall of flavour. A freight train through […]

Chateau Pato Hunter Valley OPV Shiraz 2017
$45.00Always a classic Hunter “Burgundy style”, the 2017 OPV must surely be the best we’ve tasted since 2011. Elegant and open with red, blue and black fruits, five spice, violets, vanilla, campfire and autumnal notes. Tannins are fine and expansive, coupling with ripe acidity that really drives the flavour along. Beautifully weighted, drinks like a […]

Yangarra King’s Wood Shiraz 2019
$58.00“Incredibly vibrant deep purple colour in the glass. Subdued nose, dark loam and black fruits lurk with intent. Remarkable poise for such a young wine, dark fruits, blood and ironstone all meld seamlessly. Full of palate yet has a feeling of compression from acid and tannin so it pushes very deep and long. Time will […]

Laughing Jack Moppa Hill Block 6 Shiraz 2018
$40.00“Shawn Kalleske has achieved wonderful balance and poise in the warm ’18 season, upholding all the deep, dark, brooding power of Barossa shiraz and – vitally – energising it with fantastic natural acidity and fine, polished tannins. The result is a delight to behold; an enticing core of compact blackberries, satsuma plums and fresh licorice. […]

Hochkirch Syrah 2020
$40.00The 2017 was the first Hochkirch Syrah we tasted. Revelatory; unique and detailed, we simply could not believe this was an Australian wine. The 2020 is a little deeper, with slightly darker blackberry fruit, structure, fine detail, freshness and a compelling spicy lift. Very fine, moreish and refreshing. Waters Wine Co Vegan suitable.

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2019
$45.00While I am optimistic about grenache in these parts, I often find the style of shiraz monochromatic. Not in these hands. Despite the heat spikes of a warm year, the sandy blocks across the vineyard thrived. A cool finish to the season, providing perk. All things done right: picking window, use of whole bunches (20%) […]

Standish Wine Co The Relic 2020
$140.00Out of Stock
This is the best I’ve seen it. There’s something about the combination of the hot year and the diminished yields—it has recoiled and recompressed the Viognier on top of and into the Shiraz and brought them into balance/harmony. Beneath its floral and stone fruit guiles is a pool of savory, muscular, red-dirt Shiraz. There is […]

Craiglee Shiraz 2017
$55.00Pure unadulterated Craiglee Shiraz. Nothing like it. It’s the fragrance, the confluence of dark and red fruit, the grind of black pepper, the thyme and it’s savoury nature. It retains a certain elegance and length across the more medium-bodied palate. Fresh acidity and grainy tannins neatly in tow. Lovely now, even better in years to […]

Mullineux Syrah 2018
$65.00South Africa has an uncanny knack of producing Syrah’s at a price and quality, that should embarrass just about the rest of the world. Serve this in a pinot noir glass. Intense bouquet of black, red and hedge fruits, with lavender, Asian spices and cumquat. Vivid, supple and expansive palate, so soft in the mouth, […]
