From the first whiff the Vat 8 waves the flag of Tyrrell’s and the Hunter Valley. Cola, blackcurrant, blackberry, cinnamon, coffee, milk chocolate, clove and violets. Full bodied, plush and lifted by Christmas cake spice and crunchy red fruits. Luxurious and round, with ripe tannins and soft acids. The most digestible Vat 8 of recent years. Waters Wine Co
A quintessential domestic blend. The southern French have been doing it for quite some time too. The one top wine still assembled in small barriques. These impart a clear high note of bitter chocolate, mocha and vanilla-espresso. Otherwise, blackcurrant, lilac, anise, graphite and fecund Hunter earth. Terracotta tannins, long and emphatic, auguring well for a long life. Lots of adolescent fruit and jangly structural ribs. These will gel in time. 93 Points – Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

Add to cartOne of the best value wines we have tasted in a very long time. A blend of Syrah, Cabernet and Grenache, the blend might seem unlikely, but it works tremendously. Plenty to smell here; dried flowers, blackcurrant, plum, raspberry and spice. Ample palate, that coats the mouth in flavor, but without any heaviness or astringency. […]
Add to cartIntensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]
Add to cart Producer: La Rioja AltaA very rare wine of utmost intensity and exceptional quality, rewarding careful cellaring. Duck Muck was first made by a stroke of luck. Some super-ripe Shiraz was picked from Wild Duck Creek’s Original Vineyard and made into wine, which didn’t quite fill a barrel. The barrel was then topped up with Alan’s Cabernet Pressings, being […]
