Monty's Leap is a boutique producer from Albany in WA's Great Southern. Their Cabernet Sauvignon is an intense and strongly varietal expression that will reward cellaring.Dense crimson in appearance. Black pepper over herb and blackcurrant, with spearmint and eucalypt aromas. Very powerful and focussed, with cola-like saturation, and deep, tongue-staining tannins giving flow and length.

Garnet in colour with a lively bouquet of black and red fruits with subtle spice, musk and hibiscus notes. The palate is fleshy and mouthfilling with Satsuma plum, mulberry, boysenberry fruit flavours plus Hoisin sauce notes and sweet spice flavours. 15% wholebunch fermentation adds wild depth of flavour and pleasant chewy tannins; balanced by refreshing natural acidity and fine-grained oak texture.

An excellent example of cool-climate Shiraz with dark black fruit, spice and pepper characters. The oak and tannins are well balanced ensuring that this wine is drinking well now and has plenty of life ahead.

The King Malbec by Ferngrove is fast gaining a reputation, contemporary in style, black and powerful with an array of beguiling aromas and a core of fruit expressive of the region. Plush palate, round and inviting, chocolate and plums with lashings of French oak vanilla on a long fine palate.

Bright fruit characters, fine tannins with juicy, dark fruit core of plumsand hints of rhubarb.

An exceptional Barossan Shiraz from the artisan cult producer, Spinifex.

Succulent, layered and fleshy, the Miette label is a great introduction to the hand-crafted wines from Spinifex.
