Garnet in colour. A balance of power & elegance, this wine displays intense primary fruit characteristics of blackberry & cassis. Toasted notes of mocha & dark fruits with subtle tannins.

A few years on, this carefully crafted wine has developed added nuance while retaining its food-friendly charm. The early-picked red fruit characters have softened into gentle dried cherry and cranberry notes, with subtle earthy undertones emerging. The naturally lower alcohol keeps the palate fresh, while the wild ferment complexity and maturation in large oak now show as integrated spice and savoury depth. A beautifully aged, elegant wine that continues to shine at the table.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals exceptional depth, beginning with vibrant aromas of plums, cassis, and delicate violet flowers. On the palate, bright flavours of plums and dark cherries unfold, complemented by rich layers of dark chocolate, bay leaves, star anise, and dried tobacco leaf, creating a beautifully complex and captivating profile.Well integrated tannins provide just the right amount of structure, guiding the wine to a smooth, focused finish that lingers on the palate. The ideal growing conditions in 2021 allowed the grapes to ripen slowly and evenly, resulting in a wine of perfect balance, depth, and complexity. Ready to enjoy now, this Cabernet Sauvignon also shows excellent aging potential, promising further refinement with time.

Wynns is the proud custodian of many of the great vineyard sites along Coonawarra’s Terra Rossa strip, and each year we select one vineyard to highlight the individuality of the site. In 2023, we chose a young planting from the O’Deas 12.81 vineyard, located to the north of the winery, which was farmed by the O’Deas family until 1966 before being later sold and established as vineyard. The Terra Rossa soil here is dark reddish-brown, with moderate depth to limestone and an average elevation of 57.5 metres, and the current plantings are vine selections from our highly prized Childs vineyard, established on rootstocks. The 2023 season proved challenging, yet the diligence of both vineyard and winemaking teams delivered high-quality, medium-bodied wines, with vineyards planted on well-drained Terra Rossa soils achieving the strongest results.

Petaluma Merlot is medium body with a brick red colour, the superbly perfumed bouquet is a tangle of marzipan, spice, plum and confectionery and is the best nose of the early Petalumas. On the palate, flavours of cherry, plum and spice emerge, with very good depth and complexity.

Yalumba has always had a passion to keep exciting barrels or small batch wines separate from the blending table, regardless of quantity. This is where the Steeple Vineyard Shiraz was discovered. Sourced from antique vines within the Yalumba Steeple Vineyard on the Barossa Valley floor, this Shiraz is a strong expression of terroir, with a dynamic scent, energetic freshness and cooling earthy tannins.

Lloyd Reserve Shiraz is produced from a single vineyard at Coriole, planted in 1919 by Geoffrey Kay. It was first retained as a separate wine in 1989, and is one of Langton's Classified Wines of Australia. This vineyard typically produces a wine of great intensity and can be cellared for many years. The wine is matured in French oak with typically about 40% new.

Glaetzer-Dixon's wine maker Nick has taken four generations of Barossa shiraz wine-making knowledge and applied it to carefully selected parcels of shiraz grapes from the Coal Valley in Southern Tasmania. The Mon Père Shiraz is a pre-eminent cool-climate shiraz, with flavours and textures evocative of Northern Rhône valley wines.

'Black Label' Cabernet Sauvignon, which was first vintaged in 1954, has evolved markedly over the decades. It is arguably Australia's most recognised Cabernet Sauvignon, and has more than any other, helped define Coonawarra. The wine is matured in new and seasoned French oak for 12 to 18 months. A classic Coonawarra Cabernet with pristine dark berry/ cassis aromas, fine grained tannins and underlying savoury nuances, it develops into a rich, chocolaty wine with age. In a super vintage, this wine can look astonishingly like a 2nd or 3rd growth Bordeaux with its pure cassis aromas and cedary complexity.
