Chris Ringland Shiraz has been one of Australia's most loved wines over the past few years with its immense concentration of bold, forboding fruit. Chris Ringland, the man behind such famous names as Three Rivers Shiraz, creates a wine that is made from mature Northern Barossa vines and shows dark mass of concentrated black and blue fruits, laced with sweet mocha and wrapped in a smooth, velvety texture. Not for the faint of heart, the CR Shiraz is improving vintage on vintage.

Made as a fruit-driven enjoy now style, this Devil's Corner Pinot from Tasmania's Tamar region shows layers of dusty cherry, well integrated spices and subtle oak on the palate. A generous savoury and seductive palate with a light astringency. Very interesting cool climate Pinot packed with great value.

Tar & Roses can not only be used to describe the wonderful Meditteranean aromas and flavours of this Heathcote winery, but also the wonderful team of Don Lewis and Narelle King! This Heathcote Sangiovese shows the classical sour cherry flavours with a balanced and integrated structure that is crying out for a antipasto plate.

Sourced from two characterful sites near Woodside, HSV and Bluestone - situated in the central Adelaide Hills, a commune quietly establishing itself as a natural home for Gamay's bright energy and expressive charm. An elegant and evocative expression, this wine opens with a lifted perfume of red berry compote, wild strawberry, redcurrant, and tart cranberry, all finely laced with whispers of dried sage and crushed herbs. The aromatic profile is delicate yet insistent, drawing you in with its quiet complexity. On the palate, there's a beautiful interplay of light and shade: fine-grained tannins offer gentle structure, while an inherent fleshiness lends mid-palate succulence without ever tipping into excess. There's an almost weightless quality to its movement - graceful, airy and precise carrying flavours in a seamless glide across the tongue. Ethereal, yes, but grounded in detail. A wine that doesn’t shout but speaks with clarity and poise, its beauty revealed slowly like a secret shared between sips.

Brokenwood Shiraz is a ripe and generous Shiraz with lifted cherry and mint aromas nicely balanced with sweet chocolate notes on the nose and a soft rich palate with savoury cedary flavours and fine grained tannins on the finish.

A delicious example of this gamay-based light red from southern Burgundy. Raspberry and plum aromas are direct and fruity, and the palate is light with a lingering, fragrant aftertaste.

The nose shows complex savoury, earthy, bramble aromas with lifted American oak. The palate is medium bodied with bright red currant and hints of spice and blackberry.
