Rosenvale Vineyards Estate Grown GSM
Rounded and smooth whilst juicy and fragrant. This one shows us why people make blends, grenache, mataro and shiraz really are three peas in a pod and, rather than fight each other, work in harmony to create a wine that's bigger than the sum of its parts. Rosenvale are one of our favourites from the Barossa, crafters of this rich, powerful GSM. The raspberry characteristic, derived from the grenache component, is the dominant fruit, with support from plum and blackberry hints carried by the shiraz. To round it all out, there’s a bit of allspice and earthiness thanks to the mataro. It’s bold, deep in flavour and ready to go now, or any time in the next few years.
Franklin Tate Estates Shiraz
The Tate name is synonymous with Margaret River after John Tate helped create arguable the regions most well-known winery, Evans & Tate. Today, Franklin Tate has brought the Tate name back to life with new, exciting terroir driven wines. Franklin painstakingly selected the very best vineyard sites, those that held unique micro-sites within them to enable him to achieve his goal of producing some of the regions best wines. This Shiraz was picked at optimum ripeness and fermented with 10% whole bunch. French barriques were used in the fermentation process to give a softness to the palate, as was a small percentage of Viognier. The result is a great Margaret River Shiraz with grounded savoury notes along with ripeness and spicy lift.

Strawberry, rose and fresh-cut watermelon aromas greet you in the grass. A creamy texture on the palate with flavours of strawberry rhubarb pie, complemented by a thrill of sour cherries. Finishes with a grip of lemon zest and delicate accents of clove and fig.

Rolf Binder Selection Shiraz
To quote the great man, Rolf Binder, himself, “You can’t go wrong with an easy-drinking, classic Barossa Shiraz at a good price". And he's right, this wine is just that - 'classic'. And the price? well, 'good' doesn't really do it justice... this is an incredible deal! This deep cherry-red beauty is a glass full of classic Barossa goodness. Ripe red berries leap from the glass, followed by dark cherry, blueberry, cassis and just a hint of vanilla and liquorice to keep things interesting. The palate’s full-bodied and silky, with ripe tannins and just enough acidity to keep it all fresh and flowing. It’s smooth, it’s approachable, and the flavour hangs around long enough to make sure you noticed how delicious it was. A seriously satisfying red that'll have you reaching for another glass dangerously quickly.

Over the last 4 decades, it has become one of Australia's favourites. The 2005 Church Block is showing just what a little patience can do. After six years, the velvet texture is the dominant feature with integrated tannin taking a backseat.
