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.

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!

SC Pannell Old McDonald Grenache 2022

It is unusual and rare to find varietal grenache, as most of the time it is blended.

The Footbolt Shiraz 2021 offers aromas of mulberries and blackberries, that unmistakable smell of Darrel Lee liquorice. Generously rich with amazing fruit weight and balanced, chewy tannins. Brimming with ripe red fruits and an underlying layer of subtle oak, as well as a hint of pepper.

Hardys Eileen Hardy Shiraz 2020

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.

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 Smart Grenache 2022

The Smart vineyard is owned by Bernie Smart and his son Wayne. It is the highest Grenache vineyard in McLaren Vale with soils up to 750 million years old. Unirrigated bush vines, managed by hand; we owe Bernie and Wayne a debt of gratitude for preserving this precious place.

Brokenwood Rayner Vineyard Shiraz 2020

Another great release for this iconic single vineyard wine. An excellent densely coloured shiraz typical of the McLaren Vale region. Dark fruit pastille aromas, plum and vanillin oak in the background. Sweet fruit entry on the palate, dark chocolate and a medium to full-bodied mouth feel. A stylish shiraz and one to age over the long term.

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.

d'Arenberg The Dry Dam Riesling 2024

Fresh and zesty, a wonderful balance between flavour intensity, sweetness and refreshing acidity.

Koomilya DC Shiraz 2021

A single block shiraz from 49 year old vines grown on ancient, dark grey slaty siltstone soils, flecked with ironstone facing south-east at an altitude of 108m. The DC Block is named for Don Cant, the previous owner, and was the first single block wine released from the vineyard.

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.

Richard Hamilton Burtons McLaren Vale Grenache 2020

The wine is named in honour of Richard  Hamilton’s father, Burton Hamilton (1904 to 1994) who was a viticulturist in  South Australia for his entire working life.

Displaying typical fruit characteristics of berries, liquorice, spice and nectar, extended maturation in seasoned French oak has added great complexity to the palate.

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.

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.

d'Arenberg The Stump Jump Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

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.

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.

Mitolo Jester Grenache 2022

Taylors Jaraman Shiraz 2023

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 Smart Grenache 2021

Heirloom Anevo Grenache Touriga Tempranillo 2024

Whilst deep and powerful this blended red wine also has a pillowy and soft side. Hence there’s some versatility with food. A true Iberian would drink this with a strong fish stew, cooked with some cubed chorizo and smoked pimento powder. A long-cooked ratatouille is also a revelation.

Mitolo Jester Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

Bec Hardy Lot 94 Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

Bestowing a modern-day twist on six generations of winemaking heritage, Bec’s wines are the result of careful selection and technique; letting nature guide the process, and only intervening when required. The result is a collection of elegant wines displaying their true varietal characters, with good palate weight and complexity, and that can be enjoyed young or mature, with food or simply on their own.

MMAD Vineyard Shiraz 2021

Located in the dress circle of Blewitt Springs, MMAD Vineyard  was first planted in 1939, and the oldest Shiraz blocks date from  1941. The vineyard has the fine Maslin sands found in Blewitt  Springs, and is exposed to the fresh sea breezes from the southwest. Below the sand is a layer of ironstone pebbles, and this  combination of sand, ironstone, and cooling winds gives both  perfume and structure to the wines

This is vibrant McLaren Vale shiraz at its best. The Aroona vineyard is located in the foothills of the Willunga range.

Heirloom McLaren Vale Shiraz 2021

This Heirloom Vineyards Shiraz was sourced from our neighbours the McMurtrie Family’s extraordinary and low yielding old vines, just adjacent to the Salopian Inn, where Ross McMurtrie, Vigneron was born. Hand tended vines, sorted bunch by bunch, naturally open fermented, with regular hand plunging and gentle pumping over to extract colour, flavour and tannin. Aged in some new but mainly 3 and 4 year one-year old French and Bulgarian oak barriques for 16 months.  Shiraz can be a simple sip or a symphony of the senses, a moment of pleasure or an eternity of contemplation. Only the poet can know, so stop thinking and surrender.
