Turkey Flat Shiraz 2021

This highly acclaimed Shiraz has received numerous awards since its first vintage in 1990. However, it's the versatility of this wine, in the way it embraces both power and elegance that is most impressive. This Shiraz is a result of a very intricate blending process. After each parcel of fruit is individually vinified & aged in specially selected French oak barrels, the final blend is created with careful consideration to upholding its reputation for cellaring gracefully, retaining its freshness and balance for many years.

Bold and Rich Shiraz Six

Shiraz can be expressed in many styles, this six pack celebrates an expression that is a signature for shiraz – the beautifully bold. There’s the double gold-medal-winning Yakka from Adelaide Hills producer Longview, a 95-point rated Barossan from Schild Estate and from respected Maragret River producer Credaro there’s the excellent Kinship rated 94 points by the Halliday Wine Companion.

Shiraz Dozen with Exclusive $150 Premium Shiraz

A stellar case of some of the country’s best examples of shiraz. As mentioned in the name of the case, you’ll find a wine normally retailing at $150 from Cape Barren of McLaren Vale, rated 97 points by Wine Orbit. There’s also the excellent Alpha Crucis Southern Cross Shiraz from Chalk Hill, rated 96 points and with a usual RRP of $100, and the unparalleled single-vineyard Barossa shiraz from Golden Amrita, rated 97 points by Wine State Magazine.

Popular Shiraz Dozen

Australian wine drinkers and their cherished shiraz is a love story for the ages. Renowned, revered and respected, Australian shiraz has a voice that’s heard on the international stage. There’s a range of different styles here, selected for their great value, and outstanding quality. Highlights include the cool-climate elegance of Lambrook’s Adelaide Hills expression, the forthright and robust First Village from Barossa pioneers Bethany, and the trademark silkiness of McLaren Vale from stalwarts Coriole. 

Sherrah Shiraz 2021

Single vineyard, whole berry, small batch open ferment. Matured in 15% new and 2-3 year old French oak. The king of the Vale. A medium to full bodied Shiraz, bridging old style charm and power with new style freshness and structure. Fruit from the Lacey vineyard in the Tatachilla sub region of southern McLaren Vale. Sandy Loam over limestone base scattered with ironstone fragments, 1654 clone vines planted on their own roots. Fruit was machine harvested by a Pelenc Selectiv® harvester with onboard de-stemmer, this resulted in the grapes being delivered straight to the open fermenter requiring no further destemming or crushing. Whole berries, cultured yeast, hand plunged for 14 days then gently pressed to seasoned French Hogs Heads plus a new French Puncheon and Hogs Head (15% overall). Natural malolactic fermentation occurred, aged for 20 months prior to bottling.

Schild Estate Micks Workshop Shiraz 2022

Schild Wines have been crafting shiraz for over the four generations from premium fruit in the heat of the Barossa. 

Plush and Opulent Shiraz Dozen

A case of wines from two respected producers of the Barossa. Schild Estate are based in the Southern Barossa, the Mick’s Workshop vineyard was named so after Michael Schild built his workshop next to the plot, it offers robust and structured fruit, with blackberries, blueberries, and a touch of clove, it’s rated 94 points by Wine Orbit. St Hallet trace their inception back to 1944, based in the Northern Barossa, it’s a full-bodied shiraz with concentrated flavours of black plum and cherries, and named in tribute after long-time winemaker Stuart Blackwell. This benchmark wine is rated 95 points by the Halliday Wine Companion. 

Shaw and Smith Shiraz 2022

The Adelaide Hills was long considered too cool to ripen shiraz. By the early 2000s, though, the potential for outstanding shiraz from the right sites in the Adelaide Hills was compelling, and the first Shaw + Smith Shiraz was made in the 2002 vintage. Since then, shiraz in the Hills has gone from strength to strength. Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate shiraz, in which balance is more important than power.

Your Classic Shiraz Dozen

This case is a celebration of Australia’s most loved variety, representing a variety of styles and regions. Leading the charge is the $55 RRP Old Paddock and Old Hill Shiraz by Hunter Valley producer Mount Pleasant, which attracted a score of 97 points from the Halliday Wine Companion. You’ll find two excellent expressions of shiraz served in Qantas Business, Lambrook from Adelaide Hills and the First Village from Barossa producer Bethany. Other highlights include the Immortelle from Ulithorne, rated 95 points by Wine Orbit, and the Qantas Wine exclusive Arrona Estate from Coriole of McLaren Vale.
