Curtis' Small Batch Shiraz picked up 96 points. Angas King took home a trophy for Best Australian Wine at the China Wine & Spirits Awards. Murray Street's beautifully mature 2019 Black Label Shiraz is drinking exactly as you'd hope from one of the Barossa's most reliable producers. 3 Rings continues to prove why it has such a loyal following, delivering rich, generous Barossa fruit with remarkable consistency.
Then there's the bonus.
The Yaldara Grand Cuvée Shiraz is a serious flagship release that most wineries would happily build an entire offer around. Here, it's simply the cherry on top.
At $240, you're paying less than the retail price of the Yaldara and receiving another 12 bottles of premium Barossa Shiraz virtually for free.
Open the Murray Street now—it has a few years' bottle age and is drinking beautifully. The Curtis, Angas King, 3 Ringsand Yaldara will all reward a good splash in a decanter today, or better still, several more years in the cellar.
Just the fifth release of Yaldara Grand, and arguably the one which has struck a balance between power and elegance most deftly. Milk and dark chocolate, aniseed, black and blue fruits, tobacco leaf, plus plenty of cedary oak and tannin. Magical.
95pts Vino Masters, 94pts Ray Jordan, 93pts Ken Gargett, Trophy CWSA Shiraz of the Year, 2 x Gold Medals
Rich and black, with sweet fruit balanced perfectly by savoury notes. Dark chocolate, milk chocolate and velvety goodness here. A superb follow-up to the excellent 2017 and 2021 vintages.
A joy to drink and just entering its ideal drinking window now at 7 years of age. Decanting works wonders. Mostly French oak here which brings subtle cedar to the plums, dark chocolate, liquorice and spice of this beautifully put together wine.

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!
Dark black fruits, plenty of acidity, good length and a fine tannin finish make for a wine which is a delicious accompaniment to red meats already, but will also cellar for 10+ years.
