Coriole Aroona Estate Shiraz 2023

This is vibrant McLaren Vale shiraz at its best. The Aroona vineyard is located in the foothills of the Willunga range. The soils are a stony loam and contain the remnants of the mountains that were once as high as the Himalayas! The vines range in age from 99 to 25 years old. The vineyard typically produces aromatic wines with fine tannin and a full yet soft palate.

d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Lightly Wooded Chardonnay 2023

It is rumoured that the inventor of the Stump Jump plough, which enabled a ploughshare to jump over tree roots, had poor eyesight and required regular tests to ensure he could still operate machinery. The design of this label is inspired by an optometrist's eyechart and serves as a makeshift sobriety test.

MMAD Vineyard Chenin Blanc 2023

The old vines of Blewitt Springs are a precious resource, and an important part of Australia’s viticultural history. In early 2021, MMAD Vineyard was purchased by a quartet made up of winemakers Martin Shaw and Adam Wadewitz, and Masters of Wine Michael Hill-Smith and David LeMire. Located in the dress circle of Blewitt Springs, MMAD Vineyard has Grenache that was first planted in 1939, as well as Shiraz and Chenin Blanc, the oldest of which were planted in 1941 and 1964 respectively.

Coriole Piquepoul 2023

The palate is fine and long with fresh acidity providing drive and texture, flavours of citrus blossom, jasmine flower and wet stone leaving the palate craving seafood, natural oysters especially!

Made from bush vines first planted in 1939. This wine has an energy and density that showcases what Grenache from old vines can do in Blewitt Springs.

Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2021

The life of the party, the instigator of frivolity, the undying entertainer. A modern-day jester gathers friends around regularly to eat and drink well, and much like their medieval predecessors, reminds us that life shouldn’t be taken too seriously.

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2021

It is unusual and rare to find varietal Grenache, as most of the time it is blended. Stephen proudly states, whenever given the opportunity, that McLaren Vale Grenache ages more gracefully than Shiraz. Grenache is well on its way to becoming McLaren Vale’s most recognised wine and our true wine of place.

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2020

It is unusual and rare to find 100% Grenache wines, as most of the time it is blended. Stephen has been making a varietal Grenache from McLaren Vale for the past 22 years and can now provocatively state that he thinks it ages more gracefully than McLaren Vale Shiraz. Grenache will become McLaren Vale’s most recognised wine and our true wine of place.

d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Shiraz 2021

A generous and juicy shiraz loaded with sweet red and black fruit.

Koomilya GT Shiraz 2019

These wines have strength, intensity, and glorious grape tannins, which wind the palate together, almost like a double helix. The complex structure pulls you straight through. They illustrate what I’m hoping modern McLaren Vale wine will be, which harks back to a tradition of what it looked like in the 1960s, without all the artifice of winemaking. Above all, these wines look and taste, Koomilya.

MMAD Vineyard Shiraz 2022

The old vines of Blewitt Springs are a precious resource, and an important part of Australia’s viticultural history. This Shiraz is made from vines, the oldest of which were planted in 1941. The cooler season provided a natural freshness that balances the richness that we get from old vine Shiraz at MMAD Vineyard.

Koomilya Estate Cabernet Touriga 2021

Upon purchasing the vineyard in 2012 Stephen Pannell saw it as an ideal place to create blends that included grape varieties he believed will see McLaren Vale into the future, and further, and complement the traditional varieties of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz. He grafted two contoured and terraced blocks on deep red soil closest to the scrub at the top of the south-facing slope to touriga nacional with the intention of blending with tempranillo, graciano and mataro. Blending with cabernet sauvignon was never planned, but as fate would have it, there is a magic between the two varieties that can’t be ignored. 

SC Pannell Little Branch Grenache 2022

Stephen’s interest in grenache stretches back to the mid nineties. Upon arriving in McLaren Vale, a preference for making medium bodied wine led Stephen to grenache and the love affair began. Given the region’s warm Mediterranean-climate and proximity to the ocean grenache is ideally suited to McLaren Vale and perfectly at home with the food and lifestyle. Grenache is well on its way to becoming McLaren Vale’s most recognised wine and their true wine of place. Little Branch Vineyard, Blewitt Springs, 30 year old unirrigated trellised vines grown on 50 million year old soils comprised of Maslin Beach Sands flecked with iron stone at 140m above sea level. 

SC Pannell McLaren Vale Grenache 2023

A wine to celebrate our proud association with Qantas with a variety that we believe speaks loudest from our region by the sea: Vibrant, fruit driven, adaptable, loaded with charm and a pleasure to be with.

Mitolo Jester Malbec 2022
