Attractive stone fruit and citrus aromas with complexity from maturation on fermentation lees. The palate is fine and long with persistent flavour supported by oak structure and length. Will drink well over the next 5 years.

Another very attractive release from the hugely dynamic Zonte's Footstep. An Adelaide Hills Shiraz with TWO Double Golds "...offering excellent drinking. 92pts” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). He adds that it is: “Sweetly fruited with complexity, the wine exhibits aromas of black and blueberry, star anise, floral notes, and hazelnut on the nose. The palate is equally satisfying with a plump mouthfeel backed by fleshy texture and supple tannins, offering excellent drinking. 92pts” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).

The nose is fruit focused with ripe red berry, raspberry, strawberry and a herbal note of violet. The palate is right on point, with a medium body of stewed fruit on the palate with black peppers followed by fine tannins and acid structures which delivers palate length and ageability. Experience a wine with modest alcohol, attractive pepper and spice aromas.

Savour a very appealing silky, elegant, Gold medal, 93pt Pinot Noir from vineyards in the Adelaide Hills. “Combining ripe fruit notes with savoury nuances, the wine shows dark berry, bay leaf, cured meat and toasted almond characters on the nose. The palate displays elegant weight and fine flow, well supported by silky texture and polished tannins, finishing persistent and complex.93pts” (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).

Tucked away nicely in the Adelaide Hills, Sidewood Estate have made an art form out of crafting some of the very best single vineyard cool-climate wines available in Australia. Owen and Cassandra Inglis purchased the boutique property in 2004 and immediately set about making their vision become a reality. Their Sidewood Shiraz displays that vision to perfection. Attention to detail is the key here which enables flavours of red cherry, currants and dark plum to shine through along with hints of cinnamon and spice. The texture is beguiling and gives promise to a wine that will age for up to a decade.

A complex array of melon fig and cashew aromas is followed by a typically elegant and subtle palate with beautifully integrated oak. Petaluma had set a benchmark in Australian Chardonnay.

This complex and elegant wine has lifted aromas of fresh rich red fruits and white mint chocolate. Strawberries, raspberries, dark cherries and blackcurrants are the base of this wine but has depth in texture and flavour are given by rich tannins and subtle spice from ageing in French oak. Well matched to heavier weight dishes - veal and beef based. Also perfect with hard cheeses and aged cheddar.

Red fruit aromas in the red cherry and redcurrant spectrum carry through onto the palate.
