An explosive Barossa Shiraz from low yielding, old vineyards in Marananga and Stonewell, planted to the R6 and 1654 clones. There’s old vine fruit from Greenock, the vines so old that the clonal selection is unknown. Matured in a combination of new French and older American oak, this is a stunning Barossa Shiraz offering dense black fruits, blue fruits, blackberries, coffee, graphite, chocolate, minerals, liquorice, spice, blueberries, cedar and firm tannins. Stunning.
Powerful, cedary and black-fruited. A few years ago this was probably monstrous. Pleasingly, it's settling into itself, and a bit of a decant sees it drinking beautifully. Exceptional concentration of dark fruits here, along with chocolate and spice. Handpicked and basket pressed.
A-grade Coonawarra Cab fruit. 30% brand new French Oak for 18 months. A beautiful blue and red fruits meet tomato leaf nose. Blackcurrants, mint, chocolate, tobacco and plentiful, slightly grainy tannins. Rare to med-rare steak, or roast lamb. Happy. Sated.

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.
A glorious Riesling from one of the great vintages made by one of the Clare’s finest producers. This is a stunning Clare Riesling, built around lemons and limes, offering minerality and brilliant length and intensity.
Peach and citrus aromas are supported by a little cedary French oak. Stone fruits and buttery goodness all at play on the palate which leads to a clean, dry finish.
