The Pikes Eastside Shiraz is a rich ripe fruit Shiraz true to its Clare Valley origins. Dark berry flavours are integrated with the sweet oak character and long, satisfying textured finish.

Another great success story of grape grower turned grower/winemaker. Troy Kalleske is the latest custodian of a family heritage that dates back to 1853 when the Kalleske family first planted vineyards in the Moppa sub-discrict of Greenock, in the north-west of the Barossa Valley. This Shiraz (with a touch of Viognier and Petit Verdot) is 100% biodynamic and has concentrated aromas of blueberry, cloves, violets and dried fig. The silken palate that follows has dark fruit and lifted notes of floral with a sublime length of flavour.

Wynns is in the fortunate position to have holdings of some of Coonawarra's oldest Shiraz vines and coupled with recent plantings in the 1990s, Wynns now have fruit that is worthy of its own place amongst the Wynns elite. Enter Wynns Black Label Shiraz - with a dense, dark nose of pepper, mulberries and distinctive florals that are the perfect gateway to a palate that is rich and complex. Flavours of layered red berry, spice and chocolate with tight, focused tannins that will see the Black Label Shiraz become another Wynns favourite.

Greenock is a long standing subregion in the Barossa Valley known for rich, silken, dark-fruited wines. When you mix that terroir-driven history with a winery like Kalleske you have a match made in heaven. Able to fully utilise the deeply concentrated flavours produced by the Greenock fruit, the skilled team has bottle a full-bodied Barossa Shiraz that is overflowing with fruit, balanced tannins and seamless oak. Given some time and a nice decant and this single vineyard Shiraz will open up wonderfully.

The Stonehorse wines are vinified to make styles that emphasise fruit characteristics with complementary barrel maturation. The oak is designed to support and add structure to the palate without compromising the drink ability of the wine. A full bodied wine with a supple mouth feel, dark berry characters, spice box and liquorice mingle on the palate.

This wine is deep crimson in colour with hints of youthful purple at the rim. On the nose, intense lifted aromas of mulberry and blackberry play with notes of pepper and oak spice. The palate is full bodied with complex forest fruits, spice and velvety tannins leading to a elegant and long finish. Served perfectly pan-roasted venison with creamy baked potato and celeriac. Medium-term careful cellaring of two to five years.

Supple and softly spiced, with a plush core of dark fruit. Dark plums, rasberries, faint eucalypt and red earth. The magical matrix of generosity and structurethat defines great Clare Shiraz. Really lovely momentum across the palate and beautifully buffed tannins.

Product Information: Co-fermented with a splash of Viognier giving the shiraz a more intensely perfumed bouquet and silkier texture. The 2022 Fire Gully Shiraz is a deep coloured wine, with aromas of black cherry jam and spicy blackberry. The palate is soft and supple, with generous fruit and fine tannins and a savoury, dry finish of considerable length. Maker: You can find Fire Gully Farm & Vineyard right in the heart of Willyabrup, Margaret River. Thanks to their mature vines, ancient gravelly loam soils, vine age, regenerative farming practices and coastal influence, the site is truly unique and creates wines that are a reflection of site and place. Owned, produced and tended to by the team at Pierro Margaret River Vineyards. The property got its name, after two large bush fires, in 1952 and 1970, ravaged the gully in the centre of the block. The Fire Gully vineyard is well-hidden from the road with a long, narrow strip flowing back to the main paddocks: so it's pretty much unknown. It is one of the Willyabrup region's most attractive and spectacular vineyards with views from the higher blocks looking over the dam, vineyards and natural bushland. From 1946 the property was owned and run by Ellis and Margaret Butcher, some of the original pioneers of the region, who planted vines on their farm in 1988. It was purchased by Michael Peterkin of Pierro in 1998. With Michael Peterkin planting further vines on the property in the following years. Fire Gully is adjacent to Moss Wood and a kilometre from Pierro Vineyards. It is influenced by the brook system that runs through the property and out to the coast four kilometres away. The sea breeze drifts up the brook to the vineyard moderating the summer temperatures. All of the grapes are hand picked at sunrise and taken in small buckets to the Pierro winery. From here, the team at Pierro craft the wines under the guidance of Dr. Peterkin, The wines are hand made and blended in small batches. Specialty varieties include, Cabernet sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay. The Fire Gully wines express the very essence of Margaret River regionality and quality and are recognised for consistent excellence with each passing vintage. Vineyard: Pierro pioneered high-density vineyard planting in Margaret River, setting a benchmark as one of the first in Australia. With vine densities ranging from 4,000 to 5,500 per hectare - compared to the conventional 1,900 - this approach enhances vine competition, balances fruit yield, and intensifies flavour. The vineyard's moderately deep laterite gravel soils, interspersed with granite and overlying ancient base rock, are exceptionally well-drained and warm, promoting excellent root development. Pierro wine is a wonderfully complex balance of sensual and fascinating elements. In a world where mediocrity can become a pervasive norm, the wines of Pierro are a shining exception. Nose - Black Plum, Wafts of Vanilla, Sweet Earth Black cherry, earthy beetroot and gentle wafts of vanilla mixed with red earth spices. Palate - Briary, Bramble, Supple Fruit Soft and supple black fruits layered with white pepper and savoury dried herb and spice. Finish - Silky Texture, White Pepper, Spice Spreads broad but fresh, shows feathery, fine tannins over sweet, sweet fruit character. Good length.

After cellaring, Chapel Hill’s McLaren Vale Shiraz reveals an even deeper connection to its origin and style. The savoury, brooding edge of McLaren Vale has softened into layers of earthy complexity, while the plush dark fruits remain, now more concentrated and seamless. Time has added polish and elegance, lifting the wine to a beautifully balanced, almost ethereal expression of the region. A refined and mature Shiraz that continues to showcase the very best of McLaren Vale.
