2019

Only 1300 bottles were made of this single vineyard, estate Grown Cab- a product of the best fruit Dowie Doole grew in the 2019 vintage. It is the best wine we've ever tasted from DD! This is varietal, rich, smooth, powerful and has complexities which are just beginning to emerge and which will become more obvious with time. Choc mint- plums, violets and cedary oak all on the go here. A high-end Cab which is both powerful and elegant and still clearly retains an unmistakable varietal stamp. That's pretty difficult to pull off, and DD have done it with aplomb. Learn More

A flavoursome and complex, medium bodied Shiraz from the excellent 2019 vintage. We found red and black fruits, savoury notes, spice and a hint of cedar to finish. Learn More

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. Learn More

A wonderful Grenache with a little age. New school bright fruit and exceptionally deftly placed tannins meet high-quality, old-school oak. Ned Goodwin from the Halliday Wine Companion wrote a year ago ‘too much mocha-vanilla-infused oak enshrouding this, the fruit and structural latticework beyond it is sublime, auguring well for future change... Raspberry bon-bon, thyme, orange zest and lavender. The acidity, juicy and palpably natural. The grape tannins, lithe and etched with grace... I score this with the promise to which I hold it.’ A year later and this wine’s time has arrived, it is a ripper! Learn More

A lovely, medium bodied, blue fruited and peppery Shiraz from the Yarra Valley. There are red fruits here too, specifically cranberry. The wine is soft and bright with good length. Great with charcuterie or perhaps a prosciutto pizza. Learn More

A standout from the Kilikanoon stable. From Kim Brebach, who gave it 96 points. ‘The fruit is gorgeous, rich and generous, the wine is big but soft and seductive, and the oak handling exemplary. The texture is velvet, the balance is perfect.’ A stunner which you can drink now, or age for up to another dozen years or so. Learn More

Powerful, inky black McLaren Vale fruit was basket pressed into a mix of older French and American oak where it spent 18 months. Saturated with ripe black fruits, cacao, cherries, milk and dark chocolate, and spice. Finished with a reassuring crown of cedar and fine tannins. Learn More

A huge wine made from top quality fruit aged in spicy French oak. The result is full throttle Shiraz elegantly bridled by fine tannins and spice, which together season black fruits, cherries and plums. Drink now or any time over the next coupl’a decades. Learn More

A very rich and ripe red wine offering blueberries, prune, and pepper on the nose. The palate is concentrated, offering blueberries again, dried herbs, plenty of oak, and lots of tannins. Perfect with a substantial red meat dish. Learn More

A beautifully fragrant and mouthwatering nose laden with violets, blackcurrants and dried oregano leads to a voluptuous palate. This is pristine, varietally perfect, medium bodied Cabernet. A joy to drink by itself and with lamb dishes. Learn More

Black, rich, concentrated and savoury, this wine is made from 14-day air dried, traditional regional grapes Corvina and Rondinella softened by Merlot. It offers black fruits, spice and cedar. The fruit sweetness is excellent and well balanced by savory touches. An absolute bargain. Learn More
