Incredibly intense and complex with rich, ripe dark berry fruit with a nutmeg spice. Dark chocolate from the ripasso process is counterbalanced with notes of maraschino cherry from the Sangiovese. The Cabernet for Zamberlan is grown in Primo Estate's two McLaren Vale Vineyards. Our dry grown Angel Gully Vineyard in the subregion of Clarendon is rocky and steep with predominantly shale stone soil. The soil and altitude ensure slow, even ripening with depth and texture. Our McMurtrie Road vineyard on the valley floor enjoys cooling maritime influences and warm days giving full fruit flavours and body. A dry, warm growing season meant early flowering and a very early start to harvest. Good rainfall in early January provided welcome relief then the warm and dry conditions continued through February resulting in a very short, condensed vintage with some of the best quality fruit we have seen in years. To create this wine using the Italian ripasso technique, newly fermented young Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon is pumped over the dried grape skins from the JOSEPH Moda for additional fermentation. The wine is then pressed and barrel aged.

Primo Estate's story began in 1953 with the arrival of Primo Grilli. A grape grower in his home region of Le March in Italy, he emigrated to Australia bringing his skills to Virginia, a small township north of Adelaide. Primo Grilli's son, Joseph, having graduated Dux of his class at Roseworthy College in 1979, founded Primo Estate. An innovator from the start, Joe experimented with techniques such as double pruning, Amarone style grape drying and botrytis. Primo Estate quickly established a reputation for truly unique winemaking operations, combining modern Australian know-how with old-school Italian winemaking heritage. The Grilli family winery has come a long way since that first planting in Virginia, with Joe and Dina planting their dream vineyards in Clarendon and McLaren Vale. In 2006 Primo Estate opened the stunning new headquarters at McLaren Vale incorporating a cellar door and tasting room which combine modern design with classic Italian practicality to reflect the multicultural influences of the wines and even olive oils.

Little Giant gets a natural and organic makeover thanks to some authentic lo-fi winemaking. The wines are the result of a collaboration between McLaren Vale winemaker Mike Brown and Corey Ryan of Little Giant the wines are exclusively sourced from a single estate vineyard in McLaren Vale. These are fresh, immediately drinkable, deliciously food friendly wines that are the essence of one of South Australias favourite wine regions.

The fruit was from a 65 year old single vineyard in McLaren Vale. Matured in French oak for 18 months, this wine is full of red fruits, tobacco, spice and fine tannins. A refreshing style with finesse.

Michael Fragos grew up in McLaren Vale, and spent 14 years at Tatachilla before taking over at Chapel Hill in 2004. A three-time ‘Bushing King’, Michael has also been named best winemaker on the planet! James Halliday notes that his “wine quality is unfailingly excellent” . This one has an expressive nose of blackcurrant, bay leaf cigar box and chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, beautifully structured, with a powerful complexity, fine-grained tannins, velvety texture and long, long finish.

Bright, lush and juicy, Mitolo's Jester Cabernet Sauvignon shows a full bodied palate and mouth filling richness. 20% of the Cabernet fruit is handled in the Amarone manner - a technique of drying fruit which adds complexity and fullness to the wine and produces soft juicy tannins albeit a grainy textured finish. The Jester Cabernet is upfront and approachable for early appreciation, but will also develop with short to medium cellaring.

This 5 Star producer is owned by a family that has been farming since the early 1900s. Run by Roslyn Forbes and sons Steven and Andrew, Zilzie scored Double Gold at the China Wine and Spirit Awards for this super approachable Cabernet. Blackberry, cassis, black cherries and briny olive characters offer a deep layered flavour profile. Powerful yet light on its feet. James Halliday has noted that Zilzie wines “consistently far exceed expectations, given their enticing prices”.

"Coriole has earned its reputation as one of the blue-blood producers of McLaren Vale” (James Halliday). "What Coriole does better than any other McLaren Vale maker is to fashion wines of such balance and finesse ... equipped with the structure, balance and layers of fruit to unfold slowly” (Jeremy Oliver). We're not arguing with these fine critics! Clark Hill, named after the land on which the Coriole estate was built, is an impressively rich blend of lush Cabernet planted in 1988, and spicy Shiraz planted in 1969 when Coriole was set up. Savour subtle lavendar aromas and a melee of plum, cassis and redcurrant flavours lifted by elegant, exotic spice.

A much-loved South Aussie red, this blended red is rich in black fruits that fill the mouth. Raspberry, red currant and plum fruits are balanced with fine sandy tannins and cedar oak. This medium to full bodied wine has a lovely balance and style in true Church Block character. Church Block was the first wine the late Greg Trott produced under the Wirra Wirra label back in 1972. He took the name from one of the original vineyards, which runs next to the small Bethany Church (Est 1854) across the road from Wirra Wirras century old ironstone cellars. Over four decades, the Church Block label has become an Australian favourite. Gold Medal | 2016 Sélections Mondiales des Vins Canada Wine Competition.
