Jeanneret Evans & Tate Longview Di Giorgio Riposte Chaffey Bros. Wine Co. Wine List

A modern style of shiraz with ripe fruit and well apportioned. high quality oak given just enough opportunity to make its point without dominating the argument. The fruit here is old vine blues and blacks, with suggestions of herbs, liquorice and cedar. It is finished with beautifully fine tannins. Stunning. Learn More

Medium-bodied, off-dry and complex. This is a blend of 2019 Shiraz aged in oak and 2021 Shiraz aged in stainless. Both vintages were exceptional. The 2 were then blended and a fairly small dosage for sweetening was added. This is spiced, aromatic, plummy, and Christmas cakey all at once. Lovely. Learn More

The best fruit from the Estate vineyard was handpicked and fermented as 90% whole bunches then treated to 9 months in older, large format French oak. It’s complex, offering mulberries, liquorice, olive, cassis, white pepper and plums before finishing with curlicues of cedary oak and a wave of fine tannins. A spectacular Shiraz.

More textural than your usual Clare Valley Riesling, this 2023 release is bright and limey on the nose and the palate shows citrus flavours of lemon and lime joined by Bickford brown lime, apple and nectarine. It is powerfully packed with fruit and finishes with refreshing acidity. Learn More

When Riesling is this good it reminds us that Clare Riesling is truly world class. This has just picked up 96 points from Sam Kim who describes it beautifully, with the following words, 'This is precise and brilliantly detailed, showing lime sorbet, fresh fig and delicate floral notes on the nose, followed by a superbly concentrated palate offering excellent fruit purity and finesse. It’s wonderfully supported by elegant texture and lively acidity with a sustained, structured finish.' Learn More

From an exceptional high altitude (440m) vineyard, this is magnificent. Apple, talcum powder, and honeydew melon on both the nose and a palate which offers a perfect balance between acid drive and texture. Length is exceptional. Learn More

A tightly coiled Cab that needs a little coaxing by way of an hour or 2 in the decanter. While that's happening, turn your thoughts to lamb and what you might be eating in an hour or 2 when the wine is cherry ripe. Funnily enough, we found cherries here, along with blackcurrant, cocoa, tomato leaf and a plushness emerging from an intense baseline once the wine had gulped a little air. You can see the promise on opening, but post decanting, the Trophy and gold medals this wine has won make a great deal of sense. Learn More

A lovely Pinot Grigio, well named, as it takes after the lean racy styles which come out of Italy. Fresh, crunchy Nashi pear, pear tannins, a little pepper and a hint of citrus here. Perfect with seafood, or as an aperitif. Learn More

Classic Sauv Blanc here; the nose an explosion of passionfruit, snow pea tendrils and gooseberry; the palate, light and fruit intense. A lovely wine. Learn More

Classic high-end, Adelaide Hills Shiraz this, offering bold fruit, firm structure, graphite laden oak and fine but firm tannins. Cherries, pepper and spice here, best coaxed out with a decant an hour or 2 before drinking. While you are waiting, fire up a charcoal grill. Learn More

A thrillingly aromatic, juicy and textural Adelaide Hills Shiraz, The Cutlass more than earns its 96-point score from Tony Love.

Renowned critic Jeni Port says:

"The Cutlass is well named, moving fast with plenty of dash straight to the point – and that is to promote one terrific cool climate Shiraz."

Tony Love adds:

"Aromatics of summer berry pudding, crushed grape flesh, and dark mint... timber, earth and heavy spice... gossamer tannins. A joyous wine to taste then drink again – its natural purity is all that’s needed."

This is undoubtedly one of the finest Adelaide Hills Shiraz releases on the market right now – cool climate Shiraz at its most expressive and refined.
