AMA Cellar Reds

Here’s a magical member-only offer for your consideration... you’ll get two bottles of each of these six beauties. Mitchell Peppertree Shiraz is arguably one of Australia’s most reliable Shiraz drinking at its very best. There’s Curtis Limited Series Shiraz from the Vale, with a slew of 96 point reviews. Karl’s Scepter (made by ex-Penfolds winemaker Oliver Crawford) is packed with intense fruits, coffee, graphite, chocolate, minerals, licorice, and spice. Yaldara’s glorious super premium Cab Shiraz is worth $200 a bottle and offers exceptional long-term cellaring. Domaine Masse is another wonderful entry level Burgundy from a multi generational producer dating back to the 1600s. Next up, old vine glory from Metala, a very special bottling made primarily from the original 1891 plantings.

Wines In This Pack

3 x Yaldara Grand Cuvée Cabernet Shiraz 2019 (RRP $200.00)

Barossa Valley, SA

96pts Sam Kim

Even more concentrated than the 2018 vintage. A massive, deep and complex expression of the best bits of the Barossa Valley. Dark chocolate, liquorice, tobacco leaf, cedar, cassis, plums, cherries, spice and plenty of cedary oak and tannins. Incredible.

3 x Lone Palm Vineyards Hillside Shiraz 2021 (RRP $120.00)

Barossa Valley, SA

97pts Sam Kim, 95pts Kim Brebach, 94pts Ken Gargett, 93pts James Halliday

An explosive Barossa Shiraz from low yielding, old vineyards in Marananga and Stonewell, planted to the R6 and 1654 clones. There’s old vine fruit from Greenock, the vines so old that the clonal selection is unknown. Matured in a combination of new French and older American oak, this is a stunning Barossa Shiraz offering dense black fruits, blue fruits, blackberries, coffee, graphite, chocolate, minerals, liquorice, spice, blueberries, cedar and firm tannins. Stunning.

3 x Curtis Small Batch Shiraz 2021 (RRP $100.00)

McLaren Vale, SA

96pts Sam Kim, 96pts Melbourne International Wine Competition, 95pts Kim Brebach, 94pts Ken Gargett, 2 Golds

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!

3 x Metala The Legacy 1891 Shiraz 2021 (RRP $45.00)

Langhorne Creek, SA

95pts Kim Brebach, 93pts Sam Kim

The original Langhorne Creek plantings of Shiraz from 1891 form the backbone and majority of this Metala Shiraz from the brilliant 2021 vintage. The fruit is rich, the flavours complex and long, showing off the vine age as chocolate, cherries, pepper, blueberries and more cavort long before being wrapped up in quality, cedary oak. As good as the previous vintage was, this is better.

There are so many exciting talking points in this pack, but let’s start with the Italian wines. We have already featured Conte di Campiano in the past, but the Nero di Troia is a new wine to us. It has plums, black pepper and tobacco and is super silky. Relatively high in acidity backed by plenty of fine tannins. Very slurpable indeed. The other is the Vini Giribaldi Rie Organic Barbera di Alba Riserva 2015. Packed to the brim with red berries and assertive acidity. Definitely decant this one to see the best of it. The other exciting aspect of the pack is new wines from Lone Palm Vineyard and Stonehouse. The Lone Palm Hillside Shiraz and Crossings Shiraz are both sourced from the prized Marananga sub-region of the Barossa Valley. Each vineyard shows different use of French and American oak, but they both have something in common; they are amazing. The Stonehouse Reserve Quartz Block Icon Shiraz is the big one, a massive $150RRP and just as big and powerful as the price tag. Black and blue fruit packaged with some chocolate and cinnamon and fine oak tannin. Delicious. Through the Tasting Glass Cheshire Cat Shiraz is another stunning Barossa Valley Shiraz made by Andrew Hardy. It has violets along with black and blue fruits galore and it is definitely a prospect for the cellar. Some familiar faces you should find in the pack include the delicious Manser Dad’s Block Shiraz, from our own Phil Manser, Heirloom’s stunning new vintage of their Barossa Shiraz and a pair of premiums from Martins Vineyard and Richard Hamilton Centurion. There is also a lovely new Shiraz from Wits End Atlas that needs no cellaring, it is best enjoyed fresh and juicy. The last wine in the bunch is the Kilikanoon Meymans Shiraz Cabernet. Clare Valley is best known for Riesling, but Shiraz and Cabernet, especially under the watchful eye of Kevin Mitchell this Shiraz Cab is a belter. There you have it, all that premium red with a massive $600 off the RRP. Merry Christmas indeed!
