Lots of seductive red fruits and dark chocolate, complex flavours’. Red Deer’s Shiraz is cracker off 50 year old vines. The Curtis Small Batch is an excellent 96 pointer that fits very comfortably into packs at $300 and up but we're very excited to be able to offer it here. Finally, the Martins is a 97 point, super-premium powerhouse.

This is unequivocally an even better edition of the Martin’s than we have seen previously, which is perhaps no surprise given it is a product of the 2018 vintage. Again, we see relatively low alcohol for a big Aussie red which, perhaps counterintuitively, allows the wine to appear as more fruit dense and concentrated than it might if it were half a degree or a full degree more ‘potent’. Fruits are blacks and blues, depth and length are superb, cedar and vanilla are a perfumed accompaniment to the fruit rich nose, and the tannins, polished, waxy and plentiful. The overall package, outstanding!
Black in colour this is a fairly well-fruited beast. There are blue and black fruits, mocha, spice, French oak and plenty of chalky tannins to finish. Very polished and satisfying. Perfect with something meaty.
A quality, medium bodied Shiraz sourced from 50 year old Langhorne Creek vines. Juicy red fruits are bolstered by good acidity. The wine finished with vanilla, spindles of oak and fine tannins.
A black, plush, and full-bodied Shiraz made from 80-year-old vines. Exceptional fruit intensity here, and weight of black fruits on the palate. Opulence is balanced by judicious acidity and there’re plenty of tannins driving through to an epic conclusion. Decant if you are going to enjoy now, otherwise cellar!
