Luring luxury connoisseurs from around the globe, this Chinese red is making waves internationally for being the first legitimately competitive high-end wine to come out of the countrys developing wine production industry. Its production is a long, complex story of cooperation between the CEO of Moët Hennessy, Australian enologist Tony Jordan, the Chinese government and Tibetan farmers - and its yielded something spectacular. The name Ao Yun means roaming above the clouds - and the name is apt, as the vineyards which produce it rise up to 2,600 metres at the foot of a sacred mountain in Yunnan province, not far from the famed city of Shangri-La on the fringe of the Himalayas. This spellbinding terrain has produced a wine of powerful flavour, complex spice, and a silky texture with tannin to spare and massive aging potential. Dont miss your chance to own a piece of wine-making history from a nation with the potential to become a powerhouse.

PENFOLDS II x Dourthe Cabernet Shiraz, France, Australia

PETER MICHAEL WINERY Au Paradis Cabernet, Napa Valley

The French component of this wine was made at two of the Dourthe-owned wineries. Australian components of this wine were made at Penfolds Nuriootpa Winery in South Australia. Both components were blended and bottled in South Australia for a truly one-of-a-kind release.

A multi-vintage blend of cabernet and merlot made in partnership with Dourthe Bordeaux, blurring the notions of Old and New World. 2020 Merlot from the soils of Bordeaux blended with 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon from distant vineyards in South Australia. Medium-bodied, savoury and complex.

A spectacularly individual wine, Wendouree Shiraz typically possesses a core of blackberry black olive aromas with complex iodine, wet bitumen, animal hide characters. The low-yielding beautifully formed old Shiraz vines, tortured and serpentine (many from the original plantings), are unique, producing small berries with thick skins and a very high seed content. The fruit is vinified in stainless steel lined open fermenters. Maturation takes place in roughly 20 percent new oak for around a year. Although there is clarity and buoyancy of fruit on the palate, the tannins are rusty and vice-like. It has been described as "an iron fist in velvet glove" type wine. Bottled under screw cap from the 2009 vintage.
