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 is the 7th release of this flagship wine sourced exclusively from vines that used to feed Eileen Hardy Shiraz.

One for cellar or decant now for an hour before serving.

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.

Part of Two Hands super-premium, single vineyard range, this classic McLaren Shiraz style has nuanced blueberry, mocha and spice characters. Always made to be plush, rich and smooth, the Lily's Garden never seems to be void of any complexity though. Super long length and superb tannin structure also help the McLaren Vale beauty truly sing.

Henschke have in recent years begun to identify and single out great quality parcels of Shiraz fruit that deserves to be bottled seperately and released as part of their Vineyard Selection. The Tappa Pass Shiraz is sourced from old low yielding Barossa vineyards that shows amazing depth and concentration. Rich, lush and intense it will develop further complexity with bottle age.

Black with purple hues. Aromas of blue and red fruits, black pepper, tea, sherbert, liquorice and anise. Liquid black cherries, black jelly beans, some tar and sweet, smoky tea leaf tannins. Great with duck or caramelised pork.

Taylors St Andrews Shiraz from the Clare Valley is a classic and is consistently a show-stopper. The bouquet shows rich plum and cherry fruit with earthy spice and the palate is perfectly balanced with soft silky tannins.

The V&A Lane wines from Wynns pay tribute to the wonderful and unique vineyards that are located around V&A Lane in central Coonawarra. This is a wonderful release from Wynns' iconic winemaker, Sue Hodder. A burst of spicy dark fruit hits the nose with ripe cherries, plums and black fruits on the palate. The richness of the fruit is held in check by fine tannins and deft use of good oak. A brilliant wine for right now or many years in the cellar.
