Expressive, grounded, powerful, playful. This is an exceptional Pinot Noir sourced from a single vineyard in Charleston. Red and purple aromatics lead to a powerful yet aquiline palate offering roses, cherries, violets, spice, must and toastiness. The palate is long and the tannin finish fine. The acidity elevates the fruit. Exceptional. Learn More
A relatively big and rich Grenache offering red fruits, woodsmoke and lavender on the nose. The palate is full, loaded with blackberries, red fruits, savoury aspects and herbs. Needs decanting or cellaring. Learn More
What a stunner- crunchy redcurrants, raspberries, white pepper, and cherries in a generously textural setting, supported by cleansing acidity and framed by fine tannins. Medium bodied but powerfully fruited, this is an exceptional Grenache. Learn More
Another incredible Alcala Grenache – which has just picked up the Decanter World Wine Awards Grenache of the Year Trophy. First in a field of 89 entries from all over the world. Ripe plush fruits of strawberry and cherry without a hint of jamminess eats perfectly cedary French oak and gives you back this perfectly balanced and engaging, world-class wine. Learn More
Selected from Heirloom’s best McLaren Vale vineyard. We saw musk, plum skin, spice, cherries, earthiness, Earl Grey tea, blackberry and black pepper. A sense enveloping and incredibly beguiling wine finished with a dusting of fine powdery tannins. Magical. Learn More
A magical, medium bodied expression of very old vine Barossa Shiraz. Elegant almost ethereal fruit builds in intensity, revealing as it breathes black fruits, blueberries all enhanced by wonderfully floral aromatics. Complex, elegant, powerful and bloody awesome.
A wonderful medium- to full-bodied expression of very old vine Barossa Shiraz matured in new and older American oak. There is elegance here, with intense black fruit, five-spice, and chocolate. Delightfully fragrant, too. Learn More
A varietal and regional expression of Clare Valley Cabernet with piercing clarity of fruit, which is to say, an absolute delight. Violets, blackberries, plum, sage, bay leaf, mint, liquorice, curlicues of French oak and fine, waxy, supple tannins. Off script though, because this is massive - a huge mouthful - and yet expressive, somehow elegant, with a fluidity of movement and visibility of detail which belie the hulking muscularity. Imagine a director firing Nureyev as the male lead in Swan Lake because Chewbacca auditioned better. Then pour another glass. Learn More
An absolute stunner sourced from a 78 year old vineyard, with the fruit spending over a year in old French oak puncheons. Blue fruits, cranberry, strawberries, black cherries, dried herbs and spice. Exceptionally concentrated yet with electric clarity of fruit. Worth decanting as the wine grows in stature as it breathes. An absolute pleasure to drink.
A stunning offering from Lone Palm sourced entirely from 3 small Barossa Vineyards planted in the 1950s and 60s. Vineyards are from the highly prized sub-districts of Ebenezer, Vine Vale and Nuriootpa. Older French and American oak is employed here to allow the fruit to shine, and stunning fruit it is. Satsuma plum, blueberry, dark cherry, spice, chocolate, liquorice and more on the go here. Dave Brooks from Halliday's Wine Companion sums this wine up beautifully, 'excellent fruit density, fine chocolatey tannin and layered spice and dark fruits on the finish'. Learn More
Serious, old vines Grenache this- with a degree of intensity you don’t always find in Grenache. As with the incredible first vintage which sold out in just a few months, the 22 is bolstered with the inclusion of some powerful, low yielding, old vine Shiraz. The tannins are plentiful and savoury, the fruits black, flecked with reds and tightly coiled. Needs decanting, Officially awesome! Learn More
A favourite here at WD which we have stocked every vintage of to date. This release is both powerful and refined, with bright red and black fruits, cracked pepper and Turkish delight complexed by cinnamon, nutmeg and blackberry gel before finishing with a crescendo of fine tannins.
