Alain Graillot has proved beyond a doubt that it is possible to make rich wines from the gently sloped alluvial plain where the Isère River meets the Rhone. His concentrated reds demonstrate all that is exciting about the Syrah grape: black fruit, intense aromaticity, pepper and spice complexity underpinned by crisp acidity and fine tannins. Graillot works organically, harvesting fruit by hand and fermenting in whole bunches. He chooses to age his wines in used barrels, one to three-years-old, purchased from Burgundy’s best estates. His Crozes-Hermitage is difficult to resist young. Despite the tannins that inevitably come from the inclusion of whole bunches in fermentation, Graillot wines are seldom hard-edged, overly tannic, or in need of extended cellaring. In fact, they are often flat-out delicious very soon after release. That being said, their track record for rewarding patient cellaring is exemplary. La Guiraude is a tête de cuvée, a barrel selection made only in vintages where it is felt there are some barrels that exhibit particularly intense and age-worthy personalities. Not necessarily a ‘better’ wine than the Domaine Crozes, it is typically more powerful and in need of longer cellaring.

Product Description: Elegance shaped by heritage and precision defines the Izway Don Oscar & Matilda 2019, a Barossa Valley Shiraz that pays tribute to family lineage while expressing a distinctly modern sense of balance. Sourced from mature vines grown in carefully managed sites, the wine reflects Izway’s minimal-intervention approach, allowing fruit clarity and vineyard character to remain at the forefront. The 2019 vintage provided steady, favourable conditions, resulting in fruit of excellent concentration supported by natural freshness; a hallmark of structured, cellar-worthy Barossa Shiraz. In the glass, the wine reveals both depth and composure, avoiding excess while delivering impressive flavour authority. Whole-bunch inclusion contributes aromatic complexity and fine structural tension, while maturation in French oak enhances texture without dominating the profile. Layers of dark fruit unfold alongside savoury undertones, creating a wine that feels deliberate and confidently proportioned. Its tannin framework is firm yet polished, guiding the palate toward a long, persistent conclusion. There is an architectural precision to the wine, suggesting both immediate appeal with decanting and significant ageing potential for the patient collector. Named in honour of Oscar and Matilda, a nod to generational continuity, this Shiraz captures the meeting point of tradition and contemporary craftsmanship. It is a compelling partner to slow-cooked meats, richly flavoured dishes, or moments that call for a wine of presence and quiet sophistication.

The apostrophe was dropped in 1989 and is now simply known as Angélus. The wines are characterised by a fabulous texture offered by the high component of Cabernet Franc with the plump softness added by the Merlot creating a wine of pleasing plushness.
