Wirra Wirra Sparrow's Lodge Shiraz
Sitting proudly next to the iconic Woodhenge gate at Wirra is a classic Aussie residence. Originally built after severe storms destroyed the winery buildings in 1940, the then owners, the Sparrows, built this residence with left over materials from the fallen winery. Over the years, Sparrow's Lodge has been home to vintage vagabonds and the occasional winemaker and it is the good times that have been had within its walls that is celebrated in this wonderful, rich, vibrant and full-bodied McLaren Vale Shiraz.
Wirra Wirra Mrs Wigley Grenache Rosé
Mrs Wigley was not the wife of Wirra Wirra founder, Robert Strangways Wigley, but in fact a neighbouring cat that took up residence in the winery open top fermenters. The rosé show aromas of fresh strawberry and cherry and a crisp palate of light spice and a lingering dry finish.
Hither & Yon Rosé
Hither & Yon took out the Bushing King award at the 2019 McLaren Vale wine show. They are leaders in working with alternative varieties.Pale pink in the glass. Cherry, watermelon, cranberry and dried herb aromas. Juicy, fresh and vibrant with a bright core of red fruit flavour, mouth-watering acidity and a chalky, savoury finish. A cracking Rose' with excellent all-round appeal.
Alpha Box & Dice Tarot Rose
Tarot Rosé is our transformation wine – infusing white wine with red to create something completely new. We use the ripasso method to our advantage here, steeping the white wine blend of Chardonnay and Riesling on Aglianico and Grenache skins. Think of it like a tea – how the water absorbs colour, texture, flavour and tannin from the leaves. After the process – a new rosé is born. Sure, it's a little unconventional, but since when did AB&D bow to convention?
The Bio Project Monastrell Dry Rose
Paxton Vale Organics Rose
Fragrant lift of white cherries, quandong and candy canes. Dragonfruit and guava notes give way to a dreamy scene of relaxing on a pillow of rose petals and sneakily devouring a strawberry pie with lashings of fresh whipped cream. Energetic and vibrant on the finish leaving you with a renewed vitality.
Gossips Rosé
A simple, sweet rose without a hint of dryness. A light, summery style from Gossips that will suit the sweet tooth.
Daringa Mead
Naturally fermented from Australian honey, Daringa Mead possesses an intense aroma of honeycomb and wax, like birthday candles. The palate is unctuous and flavour-rich. This is a big, sticky, spicy old-school mead.
Mr Riggs Shiraz
Made by Rockstar winemaker Ben Riggs, the McLaren Vale Shiraz is as true an expression as one could hope for. The fifth release of the wine is based around a core of pristine fruit with dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather and with seamlessly integrated oak. Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 10-15 years.
Nosey Parker Shiraz
The Nosey Parker simply delivers in spades. Swathes of sweetly spiced blackberry woven with pencil shaving oak, backed up by a rich, powerfully long palate. The Nosey is a very versatile wine in that it is perfectly suited to be enjoyed on its own or is equally at home when paired with rich and flavoursome cuisine.
