The Jim Barry McCrae Wood is a fine example of the bold Clare Valley Shiraz style. Intense and concentrated, it is well worth putting away for five years at least!

A complex array of melon fig and cashew aromas is followed by a typically elegant and subtle palate with beautifully integrated oak. Petaluma had set a benchmark in Australian Chardonnay.

Lifted aromatics of lemon and lime with complex toasty aromas showing with age. The palate displays great fruit purity and depth, and abundance of flavour and complexing elements as well. The palate is long and tight with a fresh crisp, finish.

Sourced from the best selection of vineyards in the Piccadilly Valley and Lobethal districts. Wow, what a wine. First you get scents of white peach and nectarine before some hazelnut and ginger, and then just the right balance of savoury flintiness. The palate is equally complex, with a gentle creaminess balanced by mouth-watering acidity on the long, structured finish. Benchmark Adelaide Hills Chardonnay.

Henschke Julius is a classic expression of Eden Valley Riesling. An almost perfect vintage has provided the citrus blossom and lime aromas and an intense minerally structure which will develop for a decade at least.

This cuvée is a blend of fruit from high altitude Estate vineyards - including the brilliantly named Sandgrub vineyard - dotted around the village. There's a good dollop of Wasseros too, a fine vineyard which wraps around the Gräfenberg Grosse Lage. We've had some great bottles of this wine over the years, but few with the kind of horsepower on offer here. Racy and cool, with citrus and ripe stone fruit, yet balanced by fabulous, mouth-watering acidity; this is the sort of wine that will make Riesling lovers shudder with pleasure. Robert Weil doesn't make 'entry level' wines, as this clearly shows.
