Just Awarded: Best Grenache of Show at the London International Wine Challenge!
Fermented on skins for 10 days after harvest with a small element of whole bunch. The wine was then transferred to 8 and 9 year old barrels for the wine to develop without the intrusion of oak flavour.
This is McLaren Vale Grenache in all its playful and complex glory. The nose shows a variety of red and blue fruits of raspberry and blueberry, apparent as soon as you open the bottle, the palate is brooding and complex with layers of juicy fruits and a dry mouthfeel underpinned by powdery tannins… one for the cellar, or a brief decant will open this beauty up for maximum enjoyment.

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.

- Riposte 'The Stiletto' Pinot Gris 2025$24.00A super expressive Pinot Gris, packed with fresh nashi pears and florals, a hint and a streak of minerality. Fruit is in the driver's stage, with acid in second place, being closely stalked by texture. The wine will become more textural with time but already looks good. Just a few months of lees stirring in 25% new French oak, and juice oxidization prior to ferment give this superb weight and texture. Even better than the excellent 2024 vintage. Learn More
