Elegant, complex and intriguing, our most ambitious effort yet, Ancient Stones is hand harvested from the top two rows of the oldest shiraz on our Bracken vineyard. A labour of love in both the vineyard and the winery.

Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2017

The 2017 Eileen Hardy Shiraz represents the pinnacle of McLaren Vale Shiraz for Hardys. This release sees the Upper Tintara vineyard, home of the original Tintara Winery, produce outstanding fruit from the contoured vineyard planted in 1892.

Eileen Hardy was the Hardy family matriarch, an indomitable spirit and the first lady of Australian wine; her love of life still echoes through every Hardys wine and provides the inspiration to be the best. Winemakers select only the very best handpicked parcels of fruit from regions throughout Australia to carry the Eileen name. The inaugural 1970 Eileen Hardy Shiraz was released as a tribute to this great lady. Each vintage the winemakers select the very best  parcels of Shiraz from McLaren Vale to carry the ‘Eileen Hardy’ label.

Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache 2022

Absconder Grenache is made from a vineyard planted in the time of Wirra Wirra’s founder Robert Strangways Wigley. Wigley was an eccentric whose lust for life had at times seen him fall foul of the law in his home town. In fact, one episode involving the ‘acquisition’ of the famous Adelaide pie-cart and a joy ride through the city streets was the catalyst for banishment to McLaren Vale. However Wigley did not abscond into the wilderness. He became known for his world class wines - including fortifieds made with the grenache of the day - and helped to build the reputation of McLaren Vale.

Wirra Wirra Original Blend Grenache Shiraz 2023

In 1972, cousins Greg and Roger Trott produced a dry red wine from grapes grown on Greg’s vineyard adjacent to the small Bethany Chapel opposite Wirra Wirra. This blend of grenache and shiraz became the first ‘Church Block’. Taking on advice from friends and mentors, Trott evolved Church Block over the years to its popular signature blend of cabernet sauvignon, shiraz and merlot. Yet still there were those who bemoaned the loss of the original blend of grenache and shiraz. So at various times over the years, when the planets have aligned, we have re-created the grenache shiraz offering and released it under the imaginatively titled ‘Original Blend’ moniker. With a look and feel harking back to simpler times, this latest release of Original Blend Grenache Shiraz is limited in number, but not imagination.

Jericho McLaren Vale S3 Shiraz 2021

A generously dense, nonetheless, balanced Shiraz with complex spice and floral flavours typical of the Blewitt Springs sub region. A lovely intensity of rich, dark Shiraz flavours pair with elegant structure and plush tannins to lend this wine an air of easy drinkability. Bright fruits abound here – blackberries, cassis, and plums. Meandering throughout are floral notes of violets and lavender, mixing with delicate baking spice.

d'Arenberg The Anthropocene Epoch Mencia 2021

Walking the vineyard rows and tasting grapes, fourth generation family member, Chester Osborn, determines the ideal picking time for each individual vineyard.

Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation, the wine is basket pressed and transferred to old French oak to complete fermentation and mature for nine months. An aromatic wine full of pretty flowers and berry aromas, best enjoyed young.

d'Arenberg The Laughing Magpie Shiraz Viognier 2018

An enticing mix of primary fruit characters entwined with flowers, ginger and stone fruit. Another impeccably good offering from Chester Osborne combining rich and voluptuous McLaren Vale Shiraz with lifted fragrant Viognier. d'Arenberg is one of the pioneers of this style, the 'Magpie' continues to go from strength to strength.

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.

Munda Kaurna Country Blewitt Springs Syrah 2021

Munda Wines is majority Indigenous owned and tells stories from Country through its fine wines. Munda is the Wirangu & Kokatha word for land or country, or our depiction of the French term 'terroir.' Kaurna Country, also known as McLaren Vale, from the sub-region of Blewitt Springs prized for its deep, sandy soils which gives a grippiness to the Syrah and a fine texture. Partially de-stemmed with 10% whole bunch with the remaining fruit retained whole with wild yeast fermentation. Cellared for 16 months in 2nd & 3rd use French Oak puncheons. Medium to full bodied, blueberry, plum and layers of spice.
