Rockcliffe Great Southern Single Site Shiraz
This stunning shiraz offers a lifted bouquet of dark berries with subtle spicy notes. The medium weighted palate is filled with blackberries, spices and pepper that are balanced by silky tannins. This parcel of fruit comes from one of the earliest plantings and provides some of the best shiraz full of black fruit and peppers expected of this exceptional Frankland River fruit.

Cape Mentelle Grey Label Shiraz
Round Puzzle Cabernet Sauvignon
This Cabernet is pure class, showcasing all the stunning characteristics you'd expect - plum, cassis, and red berries, complemented by rich chocolate notes. Powerful yet elegant, a well balanced wine. The finish brings in bay leaf, cedary spice, and smooth, refined tannins.
Saltram No 1 Shiraz
Saltram No 1 is unashamadly a big, bold and rich Barossa Shiraz direct from the "old school". Sourced from some of the region's best old vine sites this is a rich, intense style with loads of spicy fruit and oak character. A benchmark Barossa Shiraz and a must for the cellar!
Moss Wood Ribbon Vale Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine shows the style of the vintage and quite likely the impact of the small crop. In such years, Cabernet Sauvignon in particular, has a complex but somewhat subdued nose, where the wine hints of the underlying power and complexity but takes years to reveal its true colours. So here we see smouldering red currant, black currant and mulberry, with a floral, violet lift, sitting over cedar and tar. On the palate there is concentration and length - dark fruits combining with firm tannin and leather and tarry notes.
Mr Riggs Shiraz
Made by Rockstar winemaker Ben Riggs, the McLaren Vale Shiraz is as true an expression as one could hope for. The fifth release of the wine is based around a core of pristine fruit with dark red berries, hints of spice, earth, tar and leather and with seamlessly integrated oak. Ripe tannins are apparent but not overwhelming, meaning this is a wine which can be enjoyed now or in the next 10-15 years.
Teusner Albert Shiraz
Teusner Albert Shiraz is made from old vines in the northern Barossa; rich black fruits and tarry cassis with smoky undertones, the finish is long and luscious. Could easily be cellared for the medium term.
Cape Mentelle Zinfandel
A unique wine from the 36 years old, low yielding bush vines of the Cape Mentelle's original Estate Vineyard. This Zinfandel exudes flavours of plum pudding, black cherry and sweet spices on a rich, mouth filling palate. Hand picked, basket pressed and matured in the finest oak it is. Australias leading example of this bold and generous variety. Crunchy red cherries and an enticing blend of Asian all-spice, red liquorice and star anise, developing into warm mocha notes carried by fine grain savoury tannins and graphite notes characteristic of the Cape Mentelle's Wallcliffe vineyard.
