The Pikes Eastside Shiraz is a rich ripe fruit Shiraz true to its Clare Valley origins. Dark berry flavours are integrated with the sweet oak character and long, satisfying textured finish.

One of the hard part of winemaking process is blending. Each of the variety had to shine yet not overpowering others in the same blend. In particular this case, the Traminer and Riesling are both delicate and aromatic variety. De Bortoli has found that balance in this fruit driven medium dry white. Resulting with a wine that displays musk stick and mango on the nose and a clean finish.

Luscious intense muscat, rich apricot flavours balanced with ripe fruit sweetness. Soft, round mouth feel but retaining fresh varietal character.

“Vivacious? Juicy? We expect durif to be bold, but it can also surprise. Here we see a case in point: a fragrant, supple, smooth durif with plenty left in reserve. There is power, but there is also elegance. Dark berries and plums, dried rosemary, violet, bitter chocolate, spice and a touch of amaro bitters introduce a wine that runs long, with tannins wrapped nicely around the whole.95pts, Great Value” (Jeni Port, The Halliday Wine Companion). Owned and managed by the 4th generation of the Brown family, All Saints’ National Trust–listed property, with its impressive castle tower centrepiece, is an eye catching destination for visitors. With ancient vines and some of the oldest fortified wines in the country, they specialise in Muscat, muscadelle, Shiraz, Marsanne,and fabulous Durif, as is in evidence here.

This Durif is inky mahogany in colour with garnet and purple tints. It has aromas of violets, raspberries and blackberries, stewed plums, cherry rhubarb, white pepper, spice and a hint of mint. The palate is rich and very full, with mouth-filling texture of fine vanillin oak and powdery chocolate tannins. The flavours are well balanced with crushed berries, cherries, chocolate, liquorice and spice, mint and jube and a fresh acidity.

Sam Trimboli LOVES Durif. He calls it a “stunning little powerhouse grape that develops astounding complexity”. The numberplate on his car even sports the word ‘Durif’, that’s how highly he rates it. The grapes for this wine come from a small vineyard that Sam helped establish in the 1980s and is now at peak maturity.

Whitebox Shiraz has aromas of dark fruit, spice and leather that leads into a palate of blackberries and cedar. The fruit sweetness is balanced by firm acid and fine tannins. A great example of Heathcote Shiraz from a favourite of Dan Murphy's customers over the years.

Small parcels of the best quality fruit from across top regions in South Australia were chosen for this Reserve Durif – and it shows! It’s big, rich and mouthcoating, a ‘black red’ with some serious heft. Take that as a warning! The wine is named after a type of cattle (Hereford/ Shorthorn cross) bred for the harsh conditions of Australia’s far north, and has been crafted with steak in mind. Hints of black pepper and dark chocolate coat the palate with layers of rich red fruit and black cherry.
