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.

Tyrrell’s Hunter Valley Shiraz 2021
$25.00Vibrant purple colour, with a lifted nose showing red fruits and Christmas cake spice. The palate has wonderful concentration and depth yet is still lively and fresh. Soft ripe tannins and piquant acidity drive and carry the wine. A wonderful example of the modern, medium bodied Hunter Valley Shiraz. Unbelievable complexity and detail for a […]

Swinney Syrah 2021
$45.00Shiraz/Syrah and Australia. It just works. The 2021 is quiet different from previous releases; rounder in shape, ample with finer, lacier tannins. Not so sleek or linear and a dialling back of the mouth puckering mineral acidity. Blueberry, sweet cherry, violets, raspberry and delicate spice. Plush, without any sense of heaviness, a triumph of a […]

Bindi Pyrette Heathcote Shiraz 2021
$40.00Sourced from the Harcourt vineyard, ala Place of Changing Winds Harcourt Shiraz 2021, made quite differently. The aromatics are totally Heathcote; sweet earth, campfire, iodine, Serrano, sweet dark fruits and violets. Medium to full bodied, it’s round and sensual, cut through with rich, gourmand tannins. Such a contrast with the POCW, proving if t were […]

Curator Wine Co Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021
$30.00Gorgeously styled and expressed, showing black and purple fruit intensity, toasty oak, warm spice and dark chocolate notes on the nose, followed by a concentrated palate offering velvety texture and finely woven tannins. An abundance in delicious flavours within a properly structured frame. At its best: now to 2036. 95 points – Wine Orbit […]

Place of Changing Winds Syrah No. 2 2021
$40.00Animated 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 […]

Farr Rising Shiraz 2021
$55.00This shiraz fruit comes from an original By Farr site, planted in 1994 in black cracking clay soil, which dries very quickly. This is the first of the shiraz vineyards to be picked and, being the warmer site, fits perfectly into the Farr Rising line-up. Farr Rising shiraz shows how refinement and fruit flavour can […]

Syrahmi Demi Shiraz 2021
$32.00Beautiful wine. Plum pie and roasted nuts, trails of woodsmoke and undergrowth, leather and a whisper of truffle. It’s complex, fluid, medium in weight and confident in the way it traverses its complex terrain. It will mature well but, there’s really no need to wait as it’s joyous right now. 95 Points – Campbell Mattinson, […]

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 […]

Curator Wine Co Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
$30.00If you love full-bodied cabernet, this is for you. A ripe style of fleshy, spicy black/redcurrants and cassis. Bright acidity, finely structured tannins, vibrant fruit and dark chocolate and coffee oak make for impressive balance, undeterred persistence and considerable integrity. With plenty of ripe blackberries, some raspberry and even violets, this perfumed wine has softly […]

Swinney Syrah 2022
$45.00This is part of a triumvirate of wines that showcases the vineyard and winemaking that have crafted these super wines. This is not your fruit bomb Aussie shiraz. This is syrah and there is more than a little Old World style here. The fruit shows an almost luminosity that bursts from the glass. The […]

Thomas Synergy Shiraz 2021
$25.00The selection of the wines going under this label is achieved by blending a large number of barrels that didn’t have the quality needed for Single Vineyard status. It’s a most attractive wine in the lighter end of medium bodied. It won the Trophy for Best One-Year-Old Shiraz at the Hunter Valley Wine Show ’22, […]

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 […]

Spinifex Syrah 2021
$30.00Syrah from a selection of vineyards in the Barossa and Eden Valleys, judicious use of whole clusters, matured on light lees in a combination of large-format vessels for around 8 months prior to bottling. Deep purple red in the glass, it’s a rollicking, crunchy, bright and sapid ride with a gorgeous plume of plummy fruit, […]

Yangarra Shiraz 2021
$35.00From the Blewitt Springs single-vineyard estate on sand and ironstone soils. It wasn’t entirely a surprise that McLaren Vale’s first-among-equals winery should have made this gorgeously succulent wine, but I couldn’t help but consulting the thesaurus to be sure ‘succulent’ covered the field. The entry reads: ‘juicy, moist, luscious, soft, tender, mouth-watering, appetising, flavoursome, tasty, […]

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 […]

Ossa Syrah 2021
$120.00Only 50 dozen made. There are very few wines tasted that set the heart racing, very few, but Ossa’s 2021 Syrah is one of those. Absolutely pristine fruit, the aromatics lifted, charming and deep. Blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, cassis, rhubarb, violets, black tea, minerals and savoury spice. Ossa’s wide plane is here, indeed the signature shape […]

Mercer Limited Release Shiraz 2021
$60.00A very good vintage for the Hunter Valley. Wonderfully bright aromas of blackcurrant pastille, sweet cranberry, redcurrant, violets and briary notes. Ruch and full bodied, filling every corner of the palate. Such polish and control. There’s a sense of effortless and silky power. Terrific purity and flow, the bright fruit flavours so fresh. Tannins and […]

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 […]
