The Crash Whisky Barrel Shiraz
The Crash - a clash of The Group Mclaren Vale Shiraz with Starward Twofold Whisky. 'The Crash' is a high-quality McLaren Vale Shiraz aged in Starward Two-fold Whisky barrels and is the very first wine range in Australia that states which brand's barrels have been used for the fermentation process. It’s also the first to be aged in Australian barrels, known for deriving the flavour of its whisky from full wine barrel maturation. In developing The Crash, the Starward Two-Fold barrels leave pleasant and elongated notes of toasted oak, vanilla and spice, to compliment the full-bodied shiraz notes of blackberry and ripe orchard fruits.

Ulithorne Unicus Shiraz
The Unicus is the product of Shiraz fruit that just could not be ignored in the Seaview subregion of McLaren Vale. When we see and taste exceptional, one of a kind fruit, it excites us to pick, nurture, and bring to your glass an exceptional wine. This powerful Shiraz shows illuminating purity of plums, black currants and a touch of cedar. There is spicy clove and black pepper on the nose, supported by red and black currant perfume. The length and drive of well structured tannins allow the Unicus to cellar well.
