A casual 97 points from James Halliday! Oh, and four trophies and a 'stacks on' pile of golds and top gold medals. This is dense and complex, whilst also being taut and linear. Awesome now (post decanting), but will live for 20 years with careful cellaring, perhaps more. Red and black fruits here, with quality cedary spindles and exceptional length. Learn More

Aussie Merlot doesn’t get more complex or highly awarded than Irvine’s Grand Merlot, twice recipient of the best Merlot in the world award. Recent releases are even better structured and livelier than the oldies, and we are confident the 2019 will improve for 10 years plus. There's plenty of rich plumminess, fig, herbs along with blueberry, dark chocolate and five spice. Excellent acidity and plenty of fine French oak here too. Decant for several hours before drinking.

A powerhouse old vine Barossa Shiraz, which was given an 18 month sleep in A-grade French oak. Black fruits, chocolate, fig, cherries and vanilla all happening here, and the length and texture are sublime. If you like your Barossa Shiraz stamped 'pulls no punches', this is likely to make you very happy indeed. Learn More
