A ripping selection in the August Platinum Wine Club. Smalltown's stone fruity and textural Chardonnay, Jeanneret's achingly pure Clare Riesling and Hastwell's subtle and saline Vermentino. For the reds, the perfectly cellared re-release Peppertree Shiraz, Red Deer's barnstorming old vine Shiraz and Mazza's fragrant, red fruited Touriga. All superb!

A riper, darker and more supple expression of Peppertree Shiraz which retains the hallmark spice and subtlety. It was aged in old oak and released at 5 years of age – ready to drink! This is balanced and fresh, offering dark fruits, cherries, violets, dark chocolate, savoury notes and white pepper. Drink any time over the next 10+ years.

More textural than your usual Clare Valley Riesling, this 2023 release is bright and limey on the nose and the palate shows citrus flavours of lemon and lime joined by Bickford brown lime, apple and nectarine. It is powerfully packed with fruit and finishes with refreshing acidity.
An exceptional, brightly, and intensely fruited medium-bodied Shiraz sourced from 50-year-old Langhorne Creek vines. Bold red and black fruits are bolstered by good acidity. The wine is finished with vanilla, spindles of oak, and fine tannins.
Lush and aromatic, this beautifully slurpable Touriga Nacional offers blueberry, plum, blackberry, cocoa, red fruits and cinnamon. Wonderful at room temp, it is also great after 20 mins in the fridge. We love it.
A single vineyard Barossa Chardonnay, partially fermented in new French oak. Rich, ripe, stone fruity and buttery. Just like they used to make 'em!
