Cape Mentelle Cabernet Sauvignon
Cape Mentelle's Cabernet Sauvignon under the guidance of Rob Mann has become one of Australia's most prestigious Cabernet's. Sourced from what many believe to be the true home to Cabernet in Australia, the Margaret River, Cape Mentelle produce a wine that has a plush full-flavoured palate of concentrated blackcurrants and mulberries with a minerally spine. Richly textured and vibrant the palate finishes long with fine yet firm gravelly tannins. A superb candidate for some medium to long term cellaring.
Chateau Pape-Clement Cru classe
Chateau Pape Clement located in Pessac Léognan is part of Bernard Magrezs stable of estates. The 32.5 ha vineyard is planted to Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on gravel, sandy and clay soils. Fruit is handpicked and hand sorted before undergoing a cool pre-ferment maceration and whole berry fermentation in wooden vats. Each parcel is fermented separately. The wines are manually punched down and run off into 100% new French oak barriques where they mature for 18-20 months. Bernard Magrez is credited with turning around quality at the Chateau, including introducing rigourous vineyard selection and implementing state-of-the art winemaking. As a result, Chateau Pape Clement is now considered one of the finest producers in Pessac-Léognan.
Clos Saint-Martin Grand cru classe
Taking its name, appropriately enough, from Saint Martin, the Patron Saint of winegrowers, Clos Saint-Martin wines are renowned for their sensuous, opulent style - all lush, fruit-driven flavours and silken textures. This is embodied particularly beautifully in arguably the finest wine the estate has ever produced - the notoriously difficult to find 2005 Clos Saint-Martin. The winery dates back to the early 1800s and most recently changed hands in 2013, coming under the ownership of the Cuvelier family, who also own Clos Fourtet. Managed under the partnership of Michel Rolland, the evolution of Clos Saint-Martin continues to unfold in the most interesting (and delectable!) of ways.

Jim Barry Armagh Shiraz
'One of Australia's highest quality single vineyard wines. The core has liqueur cassis qualities that are supported by fine velvet tannins that run with terrific length and tenacity. A wine for the discerning hedonist.' - Andrew Woodforth, Vintage Cellars Spit Junction. 'Now listed in the "exceptional" category of the Langton's Classification VI, this landmark red of the region hits you with wow-moment fruit, vibrant to the max and an OTT intensity rating. French oak adds a clove-like spice while the juicy core centres around super-concentrated raspberry rich flavours, the finish seems to last forever. Its history is profound and its cellar potential huge.' 5 Stars - Adelaide Advertiser, 14 May 2014, by Tony Love.
