Lanolin and citrus meet lemon curd here. The texture is more generous than is typical with young Sem, making this an absolute winner right now. That said, if you like your Sem with age this will improve for at least 10, maybe 20 years.

Bright tropical fruits with guava and green mango melding with apple and a citric acid zing. A little skin contact is allowed during ferment to encourage texture and ferment is completed in concrete eggs.

A riper, richer style of Riesling than you might be familiar with, sourced as it is from McLaren Vale vines. Florals and tropical aromas abound and the palate presents lime, lemons and green apple in a plush setting. Learn More

Wow! A rich, voluptuous yet well-structured red from Dandelion’s biodynamic Firehawk Farm vineyard. Inky black fruits are pierced by blackberries and then scented with cedar and spice. Long, rich, and balanced. An exceptional wine. Learn More

A very expressive nose offering a purple pinot perfume along with spice. The palate is big by pinot standards, laden with strawberries, savories, spice salinity and beetroot. Sensational value. Learn More

A blend of Montepulciano with some lightly barrel aged Grenache. Watermelon, spice, strawberry, red apple and a creamy texture make this an immensely enjoyable drink. 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

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

A step up from the previous vintage, the 22 Scepter Shiraz with bright red fruits, of strawberry and cranberry, with milk chocolate. A lovely mid palate richness leady to a long finish. Learn More

The original Langhorne Creek plantings of Shiraz from 1891 form the backbone and majority of this Shiraz from the brilliant 2021 vintage from Metala. 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. Learn More
