Coriole Estate Shiraz
The 2017 Estate Shiraz beautifully demonstrates the mixture of fruitfulness and savory elements that our 50-year-old vineyards provide. The nose shows cherry, bitter chocolate, and aniseed spice.

OR Chapel Hill MV Cab Sauv 19
With a few years of cellaring, this regal McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon from Chapel Hill has grown even more poised and expressive. The wine still proudly reflects its sense of place, but time has brought added depth and harmony. The sweet core of McLaren Vale fruit is now more refined, with dark berries and cassis layered beneath soft, earthy undertones. The once-firm, dusty tannins have mellowed beautifully, giving the wine a smooth, structured finish. Stylish, balanced and impressively mature – a true showcase of McLaren Vale’s charm.
Paxton Graciano
A Spanish grape variety, Graciano is cultivated in the Rioja region. Crafted by Michael Paxton, this elegant wine reflects all that is great about the Margaret River wine region. Light bodied and savoury, this wine shows juicy red fruit as well as white pepper elements. This wine can be consumed young, owing to its light tannin structure. The wine has a medium term cellaring potential.

Sherrah Shiraz
Yangarra Old Vine Grenache
While certainly lighter, more elegant, and a different style to that of some of previous years, the 2011 vintage is one of the greatest Grenache vintages Yangarra has ever produced. The white pepper spice is telling of such a cool year, and is married with bright cherries and raspberry alongside complex hints of liquorice, chicory and cured meats. The tannins are fine and delicate, and the acidity alike.
