Solaris Irvine Barristers Block Picardy Bird in Hand Glaetzer Heirloom Vineyards Full Wine List

Wine writer Windsor Dobbin asks why this doesn't sell at a much higher price, and we concur. 35 to 120 year old vines yielding at a minuscule 1.25 tonne per acre, 40% new oak, 90% of which is French, black cherries, spice, raspberries, olive tapenade and black pepper. A stunning wine already, which will improve with cellaring. Learn More

84% Shiraz and 16% Grenache sourced from 50-100 year old vines yielding at less than 1.5 tonnes per acre. Old oak here and mostly French, a wonderful fragrance of plum and lavender leads to a palate offering the same plus raspberries, anise, pepper and more. Crazy that a product with this fruit source, which is beautifully executed, retails for just $25 a bottle. 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

This is top end Coonawarra Cab done right. A grade vines are hand tended, the fruit bunch sorted, open fermented, basket pressed and put into superb French oak for a couple of years. Red fruits, mulberries, bramble, olives, dried herbs are all in the mix. The palate is extremely powerful, textural, intense and long. An exceptional, single vineyard Coonawarra Cab. Learn More

Made From: Old Vine Eden Valley Merlot

Aromas and Flavours: Rich and plush, plummy and oh so complex

Drink if you like: You want to discover just how profound Merlot can be

Drink With: Something meaty

Awards: 93 James Halliday, 93 Huon Hooke

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.
