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.

Wild Duck Creek Springflat Shiraz 2020
$75.00Out of Stock
There is a ‘brilliance’ to the colour of this wine, really purple with a red hue. Taken from four sites, 60% of the blend comes from the south of Heathcote and the remainder from the northern sites. Combination of American and French oak, 45% being new. Intense aromas of bright red fruits, chocolate and strawberry […]

Agricola Theel’s Handfibel Shiraz 2022
$80.00Hoffmann Dallwitz & Dimchurch Home Old. Asbroek Kalimna ‘Old Vines. 2,437 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 […]

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 […]

Bubb and Pooley Syrah 2022
$62.00Not the darkest Syrah/Shiraz I’ve ever seen, perhaps more evidence of Tasmania’s ambition and difference with their mainland counterparts. Stunning aromatics of Hoisin, Chinese Five Spice, blackberry, cassis, rhubarb, sweet raspberry, lavender soap, fennel and camphor. Pure and translucent, sensual and slick. Concentrated, elegant and mineral. Snaking shape, threading flavour and texture together. Spice flecked […]

Swinney Franklands Cabernet Syrah 2020
$90.00Are blends better than single varietals? This Cabernet Syrah would certainly stoke the fires of debate, and I would have loved the opportunity to taste the unblended varietals. Very refined, in the claret vein, balanced poised, powerful and graceful. Stunning flavours of violets, plum, blackcurrant, raspberry, tobacco and cream. Terrific shape, across an even plane, […]

Hughes and Hughes Single Clone Syrah 2022
$49.00Fruit from a single vineyard in the Coal River Valley (Brinktop) was picked on the 3rd of May. The ‘1654’ clone of Syrah was fermented separately. Predominantly whole berry, 8% whole bunch, natural yeast, held on skins for 21 days while getting gently pumped over once a day while the ferment was most active (4-5 […]

MMAD Shiraz 2022
$75.00This is a seriously impressive release, showcasing winemaker Adam Wadewitz’s learnings from the first vintage and the bounty of full viticultural control. The old-vine fruit could easily handle about one-third whole bunch, a Wadewitz favourite. And that impact is profoundly positive, weaving in spicy, smoky notes and complexing tannins to provide exceptional tension without greenness. […]

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 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 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 […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021 (1500ml)
$90.00Animated and floral, with whole bunches evident, but not defining. Compote of brambly fruit, lavender, mulberry, blackberry, rhubarb, cinnamon and clove. Cool and sleek, super bright, fresh and intense, the longer elevage seemingly to heighten the elements rather than dull them. Incredible detail, herb, spice and fruit, beautifully flowing, long, silky and fine, tannins al […]

Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah 2021
$130.00Tasting sixty-odd American wines recently, the ’21 Arnot-Roberts Sonoma Coast Syrah was hands down my favourite. Sensual aromatics of sweet dark and red fruits, lavender, whole bunch spice and kirsch. 100% whole bunch is hard to imagine, as they in no way dominate or overpower the fruit. Juicy, sweet and tangy fruit – texturally the […]

Stonegarden Shiraz 2019
$80.00These vines really struggle. Situated in the ridge above the winery, their twisted and gnarled trunks tell the story of 163 years of hand-pruning, and the ebb and flow of past seasons: droughts, flood, frost and everything in between. A serious wine from vines planted in 1858 and the 1940s, it is made in open […]

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 […]
