Haselgrove Switch GSM 2020

Selected from two parcels of Grenache, four parcels of Shiraz and one parcel of Mourvèdre all from different micro climates in McLaren Vale. The two Grenache parcels come from two separate vineyards near Aldinga. The first provides brooding dark fruit with strong structural tannins, the second Grenache which is closer to Willunga produces more red fruit and finer tannins. The Shiraz parcels for this blend were selected for their brighter fruit profiles. The Mourvedre was selected from our own vineyard near McLaren Flat and shows spicy lift and structural tannins.

Vespa Raccontami Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2019

A collaboration between Italian TV journalist Bruno Vespa & winemaker Riccardo Cottarello, it is their passionate mission to raise the quality and critical opinion of Primitivo (and the wines of Apuglia) to be the equal to the more famous Northern cousins – Barolo, Brunello and Chianti.  Their mission is to produce the best red wines South of Rome.  The visual richness of the Raccontami announces a strong character and, at the same time, a velvety impact. The scent of spices and berries anticipates its great, soft drinkability.

Wonderful is the watch word here, wonderful wines, wonderful producers, wonderful value! A selection of wonderfully warming reds with substance and soul. Featuring Victorian heavyweights Best’s 95-point rated Hamill Shiraz RRP$60, and the James Halliday 95-point rated Bleasdale Frank Potts Cabernet Blend.

Salomon Norwood Shiraz Cabernet 2022

This wine is dedicated to a forefather of the Salomon family who had established St. Ignatius College in the Adelaide suburb of Norwood in 1870. The grapes ripen on the Fleurieu Peninsula, home to small historic villages that dot the region’s rolling hills. The midday heat is balanced by cool afternoon winds rolling off the nearby Southern Ocean. The vineyards on the Fleurieu Peninsula extend south of Adelaide, including McLaren Vale, Adelaide Hills and the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula.

Penfolds Grange 2020 Magnum (Gift Box)

The most powerful expression of Penfolds multi-vineyard, multi-district blending philosophy, Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine and is officially listed as a Heritage Icon of South Australia. Crafted utilising fully ripe, intensely flavoured and structured Shiraz grapes, the result is a unique Australian style that is now recognised as one of the most consistent of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange clearly demonstrates the synergy between Shiraz and the soils and climates of South Australia.

Peter Lehmann Stonewell Shiraz 2017

The story of Stonewell Shiraz began in 1987 when Peter Lehmann decided to make a special Shiraz - a wine of immense intensity and muscularity that would demand time in the barrel and bottle before release. The wine was named ‘Stonewell’ after the district that he believed best showed the characters admired most in Barossa Shiraz.

JCs Own Greenock Shiraz 2019

JC’s Own winemaker Jaysen Collins cut his winemaking teeth in the heavy red soils of the north west of the Barossa, where Greenock is the jewel of the crown in his opinion. 
A few vintages ago he came across a vineyard just on the north of the Greenock township that hides behind some big gum trees. It runs down a small hill facing east, with lean soils, cooler afternoons, tiny yields, small berries.
Jaysen likes shiraz that is big on fruit intensity but is more supple and svelte on the palate, powerful yet velvety, structured but sensual.
So, this is a rare single site treat from his part of the world and a true connection to Jaysen’s beginnings in making wine.

Gomez Cruzado 'Vina Dorana' Reserva Rioja 2017

Bodegas y Vinedos Gomez Cruzado dates back to 1886, with nobleman Angel Gomez de Arteche bottling his own wine in Rioja Alta. Purchased in 1916 by Angel and Jesus Gomez Cruzado, the winery passed onto the Banos family in the early 2000s, and is today led by winemaker / viticulturalist David Gonzalez. Gomez Cruzado wines are sourced from traditional old bush-trained vineyards in the most elevated areas of Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.

Alkina Striato Shiraz 2022

Striato (formerly known as ‘Spice Garden’) refers to striations, or long narrow abrasions on rock, created by the movement of a glacier. It reminds us of the 600+ million year old geological history of this land. A savoury, medium weight Shiraz with layers of flavour and amazing depth. Soaring aromas of red and blue fruit overlaid with Asian spice and graphite. The palate is impressively balanced between elegant fruit texture and the cool tannin of Shiraz grown on limestone.

Purple Hands Planta Circa Cabernet 2021

Circa 1880 PF Zimmerman planted 468 Cabernet Sauvignon vines on his family  property ‘Woodlands’ situated on the outskirts of Lyndoch. We believe this to be  one of the oldest bearing plantings on own roots of this variety in Australia and we  feel privileged to be the custodians of this special part of the Barossa.

Salomon The Verve Mourvedre Shiraz Touriga 2021

Pushing the boundaries of convention with the aim to make a red wine with minimal sulphur, but retain the purity and expression of the grapes and the land. This is a wine from Finniss River, located 50 kilometres south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula. A 'slow wine' with a perfect balance in tannin structure and fruit.

Cox Family Wines Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2023

2023 was a cool vintage that produced exceptional wines across all varieties. Despite the delayed harvest caused by the cooler growing season, we were fortunate to have a mild summer with just a few hot days that allowed our fruit to mature gradually. Consequently, our wines boast complex and elegant flavours, fine tannins, and beautiful natural acidity.
