Nugan Estate Matriarch Shiraz
The Nugan family is dedicated to showcasing the best vareitals from our finest growing regions. Dry warm sunny days with cool nights produced optimum fruit flavours. After picking, the Shiraz was crushed and softly bag pressed in traditional style to avoid the extraction of bitter tannins. The wine was fermentated in static fermenters, followed by further maturation with new and seasoned French and American oak prior to final blending.

Concentrated aromas of mulberry and blackberry, complexed by spice notes and well integrated savoury oak. A fruit driven Shiraz displaying sweet berry fruits balanced by fine tannins and subtle oak complexity providing a classically elegant finish.
Margan Saxonvale Mourvedre
Margan Saxonvale Mourvèdre originates from the historic Saxonvale vineyard in the Broke Fordwich sub-region of the Hunter Valley. Planted in the 1960s on the unique red volcanic soils of the Fordwich Sill, these old vines draw on deep mineral reserves, yielding fruit with exceptional depth and structural focus. Winemaker Andrew Margan handles the thick-skinned fruit with minimal intervention, using whole-berry fermentation in open vats with wild yeasts. The wine matures in second- and third-use French oak puncheons to preserve varietal purity, allowing the wood to frame the fruit rather than dominate it. The nose reveals satsuma plum, blueberry, and dried herbs, anchored by subtle earthy notes. The palate delivers dark forest fruits, aniseed, and a distinctive savoury edge, supported by fine, suede-like tannins and vibrant natural acidity that ensure excellent cellaring potential.

Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 10-15 years.

Dalwhinnie Moonambel Shiraz
Made from low yielding vineyards at Moonambel in the Pyreness district of central Victoria, Dalwhinnie is an example of how good Victorian Shiraz can be. Tremendous depth of flavour running the gammet from red currants to dark plums, spice and mineral. The plentiful tannins are absorbed by the fruit and the finish is long and lingering.
Schild Pramie Shiraz
Every so often there are parcels of wine that generate tremendous excitement amongst the winemakers at Schild Estate. They set this aside to make Prämie, the wine that defines the best of the vintage and the land on which it was grown. Intense primary fresh plum flavours show again on the palate, where they hold their presence all the way through to roll out soft and pillowy at the finish. A firmly present, but fine tannin framework provides just enough focus and lift for the fruit to ensure added complexity, but retaining vibrancy to the mouth flavours of this Shiraz.
