Supple and softly spiced, with a plush core of dark fruit. Dark plums, rasberries, faint eucalypt and red earth. The magical matrix of generosity and structurethat defines great Clare Shiraz. Really lovely momentum across the palate and beautifully buffed tannins.

'Vin Mousseux' is an umbrella term for all bubbly wines, no matter their production flair. Our Chocolate Mousseux is a quintessential Australian example and one of life's little pleasures. A perennial favourite with all the hallmarks of a bold Shiraz in a moreish, refreshing style. Perfect for warmer weather when full-bodied reds prove a bit of a struggle to enjoy. A great festive match with turkey or ham. This wine is a flavour burst of juicy black cherry, ripe raspberries, and a cheeky dance of chocolate dare we say...mousse!

Grange is arguably Australia’s most celebrated wine. Crafted with intensely structured shiraz grapes for an Australian style recognised as one of the world’s great wines. With an unbroken line of vintages from the experimental 1951, Grange demonstrates the synergy between shiraz and South Australia.

A spectacularly individual wine, Wendouree Shiraz typically possesses a core of blackberry black olive aromas with complex iodine, wet bitumen, animal hide characters. The low-yielding beautifully formed old Shiraz vines, tortured and serpentine (many from the original plantings), are unique, producing small berries with thick skins and a very high seed content. The fruit is vinified in stainless steel lined open fermenters. Maturation takes place in roughly 20 percent new oak for around a year. Although there is clarity and buoyancy of fruit on the palate, the tannins are rusty and vice-like. It has been described as "an iron fist in velvet glove" type wine. Bottled under screw cap from the 2009 vintage.

Refreshing and aromatic, this wine bursts with notes of grape, blackberry, and melon, layered with subtle hints of black pepper and mocha. The palate is soft and balanced, with gentle tannins and a delicate interplay of sweetness and acidity, offering a smooth and vibrant finish.
