A beautiful Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir with a whole lot of foresty wildness on offer.

This is the sixth release of this wine and it's richness is again on display. This is rich, ripe, Hills shiraz looking a lot like the 'Vales. Black and blue fruits dominate with a hint of eucalypt and a palate supported by 20% brand new Frenach oak. A very classy wine that demands decanting to enjoy now but will offer improvement over the next 10-20 years.

This Gamay is a vibrant, expressive wine that strikes an exceptional balance between savoury nuance and bright fruit character. From the first sip, it takes you on a journey, opening with tart red fruits, sour cherry and rhubarb, then transitioning thorugh a mid palate of fresh acidity, subtle herbaceous notes, and a savoury thread, indicative fo a cool vintage. The finish reveals a smoky, toasting depth with whispers of cured meats and charcuterie, adding intrigue and complexity. With its light to mid palate weight and a gentle touch of French oak, this Gamay is both refined and effortlessly drinkable, versatile, food-friendly and full of personality.

A striking expression of cool climate Lenswood elegance, an aromatic dance of sour cherry, stewed rhubarb, and forest floor that captures the essence of the highest section of our vineyard. Crafted with precision, this wine weaves together classic Pinot Noir charm. Whole bunch fermentation brings lifted spice and fine tanning, while 30% new French oak frames the palate wih subtle toast and structure. Earthy notes of truffle and mushroom unfold gracefully over vibrant acidity, delivering both prettiness and power in equal measure. From its fruit sauced core to its lingering savoury finish, this wine speaks of altitude, craftsmanship, and the soul of the Adelaide Hills.

The S&G Shiraz stands as a powerful yet polished statement of Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard's mastery of cool climate winemaking. Sourced from multiclonal selections and matured in 1 yr old French oak, this wine delivers a bold intensity of blackberry, cherry and plum, with whole bunch fermentation adding lift and depth. A subtle, savoury herbal note emerges gracefully through the mid palate, wrapped in beautifully silky tannins and supported by a firm, finely structured backbone. Vibrant spice, a hallmark of the Adelaide Hills, threads through the wine, while the oak integrates seamlessly, rounding out the layers of flavour. Effortlessly elegant yet deeply expressive, this is a definitive, age-worthy expression of Adelaide Hills Shiraz.

The S&G Pinot Noir is a refined and captivating expression of Mt Lofty Ranges Vineyard's dedication to the unique character of Lenswood. Sourced from just 3 selected rows of our 25 yr old Pinot Noir block. 100% whole bunch fermented, this limited production wine embodies the quiet confidence and purity that defines the S&G range. Bright cherry and stewed rhubarb aromas lead into a silky palate, layered with vibrant natural acidity, mineral drive and a whisper of forest floor complexity. Ten months in 1 yr old French oak brings subtle toast and frames they wine's beautiful mushroom and truffle nuances without overshadowing the fruit. A blend of multiple clones adds depth and textural elegance, making this a stunning showcase of cool climate Pinot Noir at its most poised and expressive.

A refined expression of cool climate Shiraz, sourced from a slightly warmer pocket of the Adelaide Hills to deliver both vibrancy and depth. Bursting with dark red and black fruits. Think juicy plum, blackberry and ripe cherry. The palate is plush and fruit forward before giving way to a beautifully spiced mid palate reminiscent of Christmas cake and clove with a hint of black pepper. Around 30% new French oak brings subtle toast and warmth to the finish, adding layers of complexity without overpowering the wine's silky structure. Elegant, balanced and undeniably moreish. This is a polished Adelaide Hills Shiraz with both poise and personality.

A small but brilliant parcel of fruit meant our flagship Five Clones Shiraz was on the menu again. The nose is abundant with black and blue fruits also seen on the palate, which is full bodied and underpinned by fine tannins. Further breathing reveals more layers of flavour and complexity after the initial tranche of bright fruits. A superb example of care in the vineyard and judicious winemaking. Enjoy now with decanting or cellar for up to 20 years.

In the glass the 2010 S has a black core with a deep red rim. There are elegant aromas of red black fruits, and spicy earthy notes with a hint of grilled meats, graphite and controlled oak. On the palate the fruit continues with rich plums, and blueberries and delicate spice and chocolate which all roll on to a juicy palate with fine tannins that go on ... and on. Smidge recommends drinking this wine betwen 2014 and 2030.
