Penfolds Cellar Reserve Tempranillo 2022

Penfolds Cellar Reserve wines are alternative, limited release wines that explore the innovative boundaries of viticulture, vinification and style. Penfolds Cellar Reserve Tempranillo is sourced exclusively from McLaren Vale and is a unique Australian expression of this grape variety. Displaying typical fruit characteristics of berries, liquorice, spice and nectar, extended maturation in seasoned French oak has added great complexity to the palate.

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.

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.

Heirloom Adelaide Hills Tempranillo 2019

The 2019 Heirloom Adelaide Hills Tempranillo offers classic tempranillo aromatics of black cherry, pepper, cherry pip, African Violets, cola nut and spearmint. This wine is juicy yet dry on the palate, but then again tempranillo is a creature of split, multiple personalities. At each stage of the palate there is an interplay with fruit and acid and tannin. The final highlight is the never-ending length of the wine.

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. 

Hatch Wines McLaren Vale Vesey Shiraz 2022

Chris “Hatch” Hatcher was a highly awarded corporate winemaker for almost 50 years and then in November 2023 released his own wines under the HATCH label. In 2022 McLaren Vale, one of Australia’s best regions for shiraz, produced fruit with great depth and richness. Several vineyards were used to make this wine, so Hatch named it after his great-grandfather, Alf Vesey who made wine at the Penfolds Magill winery for 69 years starting in 1883. He was the Master Winemaker for 47 of those years and famously mentored Max Schubert, the creator of Grange, on winemaking and the art of blending. The palate is plush, opulent and velvety. 

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.
