Australia's most prestigious single vineyard icon, Henschke Hill of Grace's provenance from this small Eden Valley patch makes it the ultimate statement or rare gift. Stephen and Prue Henschke continue the tradition that is their family legacy with utmost class and ingenuity as can be tasted in this remarkable single-vineyard shiraz.

This is a wine of prestige. Deep aromas of soil, fruit and fine oak. Near perfect tannin mouth feel, think of this as a baby 2005 - a very fine wine.

While the estate known as Chateau Haut-Bailly dates back to 1461, its wine production began in 1530, falling into the hands of the de Leuvarde and Le Bailly families in 1630. It was purchased in 1998 by Robert G Wilmers, a Harvard-educated banker, and his French wife Elisabeth and under their care, the estate has begun producing some of the best wines in its history. The cellars and production procedures were renovated and modernised and this year, the Chateau itself was awarded government recognition of its cultural and vinious heritage.

The Barolo Reserve Granbussia is produced by blending grapes from the oldest vines, from the Romirasco, Cicala, and Colonnello,, before fermentation starts, in the following percentages respectively: 70% - 15% - 15%. The Granbussia remains in the cellar for at least 9 years before commercialization. It is produced exclusively in the best years and in limited quantities. Located in Monforte d'Alba, Poderi Aldo Conterno is considered one of the finest producers in the region. The son of legendary producer Giacomo Conterno, Aldo formed his own estate in 1969 and was inspired by the modernist techniques of Angelo Gaja. Aldo sadly passed away in May 2012 and the estate is now run by his three sons, Franco, Stefano and Giacomo. They tend 25 hectares of vines including three cru vineyards on the famed Bussia slope in Monforte d'Alba. These three vineyard sites, Cicala, Colonello and Romirasco are the flagship wines from the estate though the entire range from the entry level Bussia Soprana is superb.

From the prestigious Ornellaia estate in Tuscany, Italy, comes the highly anticipated 2021 vintage of Masseto IGT. This stunning wine exudes opulence and elegance, with a deep ruby hue that catches the eye. On the nose, vibrant aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark cherry mingle with hints of tobacco, cedar, and vanilla. The palate is full-bodied and velvety, with a rich and complex flavor profile. Juicy black fruits are complemented by notes of graphite, leather, and spice, leading to a long and satisfying finish. The tannins are well-integrated, making this wine approachable now but also capable of ageing gracefully. This is a true expression of the terroir and craftsmanship of Ornellaia, and a must-try for any wine lover. Enjoy with a hearty Tuscan meal or savor on its own for a luxurious experience.
