HARDY'S Thomas Hardy Cabernet, Coonawarra, Margaret River

The Glenroy Cabernet Sauvignon displays rich notes of dark fruit, touches of oak, chocolate, and vanilla bean to complete a full bodied and intense varietal.

Penley Estate Helios Cabernet is the flagship release from a renowned Coonawarra vineyard, representing the “best of the best” fruit crafted under the guidance of Kate Goodman, one of Australia’s most respected winemakers. The wine is made with wild yeast, open fermentation, and extended maceration, then matured for 18 months in French oak (with a significant portion of new barrels). This results in a wine with deep concentration, power and elegance.

This legendary Coonawarra Shiraz has evolved into a true masterpiece of smoothness. The vibrant "crunchy" berries and floral rose notes have mellowed into a deep, velvety richness, while the black pepper and French oak now provide a soft, warming hug of flavor. Once brooding and intense, it is now perfectly polished and approachable, offering a rare, luxurious experience that is incredibly easy to sip. This is a special-occasion wine caught at its absolute peak of elegance.

The iconic Wynns John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon, the definitive Coonawarra flagship crafted only in exceptional years from the heart of the terra rossa soil, is now beginning to reveal its incredible potential. This wine is a masterclass in balance and structure, where a seamless line of plush black and red fruits meets layers of eucalypt and exotic spice, with subtle hints of freshly turned earth hinting at maturity. Its powerful yet refined structure, supported by a fine tannin framework, has achieved magnificent balance and length, confirming its status as a world class collectible with many graceful years still ahead in the cellar.

Chateau Lascombes is a second grand cru classé of Margaux, renowned for producing perfumed elegant wines which gain greater depth and complexity with cellaring. The 118 ha vineyard of the Chateau is one of the largest and most fragmented in the area with plots spread across the Margaux appellation. Plantings comprise 50% Merlot, 45% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot anchored predominantly on gravel, clay and sand soils. The wine is vinified in a combination of wood and stainless steel vats and then aged in 80% new French oak barriques for 18 months. Serious investment both in the vineyard and winery has led to a notable renaissance in quality in recent years.

With a history dating back to 1143, Chateau du Tertre is one of the oldest properties in Bordeaux. Since 1995 it has been in the hands of the Jelgersma family, also owners of Chateau Giscours. The du Tertre vineyard is a large single block, with 52ha under vine, planted to Cabernet Sauvignon (55%), Merlot (27%), Cabernet Franc (11%) and Petit Verdot (7%). Biodynamic viticultural techniques were being introduced beginning in 2008 and du Tertre was one of the first in Bordeaux to ferment grapes in egg-shaped concrete vats. The property produces a second wine, Les Hauts de Tertre, and from 2014 a dry white wine, Tertre Blanc, an unusual blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier and Gros Manseng. This Margaux property was classified Cinquieme Cru (Fifth Growth) in 1855.
