Punchy nectarine and peach on the palate here with a beautiful line of lemony acidity. The texture has a foot in both camps, being creamy but not fat. Length is good and the flavour is persistent, hanging around long after you have swallowed. Lovely, modern Chardy. Learn More

High quality fruit from the Charleston vineyard is 30% whole bunch fermented and basket pressed into 20% brand new French oak for a year and a bit. A midweight Syrah, or Shiraz if you prefer, with dark and red fruits, plum and spice. Lovely Learn More

A very expressive nose, offering purple Pinot perfume and pristine red fruit aromatics, along with spice. The palate is big by Pinot standards, laden with strawberries, savories, spice, salinity and beetroot. Sensational value. Learn More

A stunning Chard sourced primarily from Sidewood's famed Mappinga Vineyard. Just free run juice is fermented in 100% French oak and matured there before rigorous barrel selection and bottling. There's jasmine, white peach, grilled nuts, a glorious texture and cedary oak. A wonderful chardonnay.

One of the most insane quality to price ratios on the planet. Hand tended vines are picked by a Pellenc select harvester, which pick just the absolute best fruit. 12 separate clones of Shiraz are fermented separately using wild yeast, given extended maceration on skins and matured in French oak for 15 months. Finally, only the best barrels are blended and bottled. That sounds to us like most high-end producer's $60-$100+ Shiraz. No surprise this has picked up 96 points from Halliday and 12 gold medals.

Truly a modern classic, this Adelaide Hill Sparkling is all about high-quality fruit spending 5 years on lees to develop texture and complexity. There’s a full, rich mouthfeel and texture and delicate toasty notes of warm honey, brioche, ginger, grapefruit, green apple, and more. The length and intensity are fantastic. Learn More
