Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro
Penfolds Bin 2 Shiraz Mataro (also known as Mourvèdre) has a history going back to 1960 when Penfolds made a traditional "Burgundy" style. Penfolds have always loved Mataro (Mourvèdre) for its fantastic ability to blend marvelously with traditional South Australian stalwarts like Shiraz. Adding luscious complexity and palate grip, the Bin 2 is aged in older oak to emphasise the spicy savouriness of Mataro (Mourvèdre) that complements the plush richness of Shiraz.

Highland Heritage Special Reserve Vintage
A hot dry vintage produced Cabernet grapes that were too ripe and concentrated to make table wine. The wine was fortified on skins to extract maximum colour and flavour. The wines colour is a deep brick red with fresh purple tints. It has a rich fruity Cabernet bouquet with mature grape flavours, complexed with very old fine brandy spirit used in the fortification. A true vintage port style, it is a wine of high viscosity, luscious, rich, and full flavoured, and perfectly balanced by a slightly dry tannin finish. The great length of complex flavours highlight the integration of fruit character and brandy spirit esters and oils.
Brooksbank Estate Pinot Noir
Our philosophy is make wines in a low intervention way, with minimal sulphur and no other additions. Wines are carefully handled, only racked once post fermentation to high quality French Oak barrels, then to tank for bottling. No fining or filtration. • Fruit is source from and made in Orange, NSW. • Low yielding vines (15-20+ yrs old), grown above 1000 metres. • All fruit is handpicked and processed. • Only 110 dozen produced. Tasting notes: Floral nose of red and dark cherry, nutmeg, briar and cedar. This wine is more fruit forward than the 2016 and a fuller wine. It will develop further forest floor undergrowth, mushroom and truffle tones. This wine is 50% whole bunch, which brings a spicy cedar palate, fine powdery tannins, balanced by natural acidity. About the winemaker: Adam has worked vintages for premium producers across Australia and New Zealand including Crawford River and biodynamic producer Hochkirch/Tarrington Vineyards.
