Lambrook Seed Pinot Noir 2024

Lambrook began in 2008 with two small parcels of fruit (shiraz and sauvignon blanc) and a half-crazy idea of making it into our own label wine. It was something we’d always wanted to do—we dreamed of people ordering our wines in restaurants. So, when we were offered these parcels of spectacular quality fruit, we thought… let’s just go for it! This is exceptional small batch, handcrafted, single vineyard pinot noir.

The Other Wine Co. Sangiovese 2024

A brand new edition to the portfolio for vintage 2024, from the cool climate vineyards of Mount Lofty Ranges. This wine screams Other Wine Co. - a vivacious, bright, early drinking red, with wild strawberry, juicy blue fruits and bright florals. There's perfume, bay leaf and spice, with firm tannins and fresh acidity.

It's fermented as a combination of whole bunches and whole berries, spending two weeks on skins before being basket pressed to old oak and stainless steel. It was bottled young, which coupled with the cooler conditions of vintage 2024, mean it's retained brightness and lifted aromatics.  We couldn't have asked for more of an inaugural release.

Alkina Polygon #1 Shiraz 2022

There are three polygons that have, since the very early days, looked like they could stand apart as Single Polygon wines. Polygon 3 is 0.274 hectares (ha) and approximately 200 vines. Its soil profile is shallow red brown earth over deep chalky, sedimentary limestone which contains fractured schist and limited iron. Polygon 5 comprises two similar parcels of 0.12ha and 0.25ha, a total of 0.37ha. These Polygon 5 sections have deeper soils and well fractured schist with ferric clay (within the fractures).  Polygon 1 was defined in Pedro’s second visit in 2018. The block is 0.4ha which Pedro divided into separate areas and recommended that we exclude one section of 0.097ha which lacks the fractured schist of the other sections.

Curiosity and experimentation deliver a new wine made from carefully selected parcels from the coveted 2018 South Australian vintage. The wine represents a unique interpretation of the iconic Australian blend of cabernet sauvignon. Superblend 802.B varietal composition is close to evenly split with cabernet sauvignon contributing 55% and shiraz 45% of the blend respectively. The components were married immediately post vintage, completing 19 months maturation as a blend in French oak hogsheads. This wine will reward careful cellaring for several decades.

MMAD Vineyard Grenache 2021

Lovely mild ripening conditions produced Grenache of great intensity. There is a purity and a density, but also a lightness that belies the energy and power of the fruit.  The aromatics are intense and perfumed with notes of raspberry coulis, cinnamon and a hint of fennel seed which unfurl in the glass. The grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open concrete and stainless steel before ageing in used 500 litre puncheons.

John Duval Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre 2022

The 2022 vintage marks the 20th release of the Plexus Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre. The ethos behind Plexus has not wavered: expressing a wide spectrum of fruit flavours from the three classic Barossa varieties. Shiraz provides rich, dark fruits and mid-palate weight, grenache brings brightness of red fruits and spice while mourvedre delivers a firm backbone, savoury tannin and length.  A benchmark example of its style, Plexus has twice been included in Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Wines of the world, and is also included in Langton’s Classification of Australian Wine, one of only 100 wines selected.

Merite Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Cellarworthy Cabernet Sauvignon, as you would expect of the Wrattonbully region.
