Philip Shaw No 89 Shiraz Viognier
This Shiraz Viognier is produced at one of Orange's premium vineyards. From an accomplished veteran winemaker.
Zonte's Footstep Chocolate Factory Shiraz
Bright dark black garnet colour. Lively, spicy aromas and flavours of blackberry pie a la mode, spicy praline, and mole with an oily, tangy, dry-yet-fruity medium-full body and a warming, subtle, breezy spiced cherries, chocolate mint and nuts, and cedar finish with firm, chewy tannins and moderate oak.
Bimbadgen "Signature" Hunter Valley Shiraz
Dark cherry, black brambly fruits and subtle oak spice. Dark berries packed around spicy oak, fine acidity and silky tannins.
Pooles Rock Premiere Chardonnay
Picked from a wide cross-section of vineyards across the far reaches of the Hunter Valley. Whole-bunch pressed, directly transferred to French puncheons (40% new) ; a barrel selection was made with deliberate mlf; then matured 9 months with fortnightly batonnage. As complex as they come, but has retained focus and freshness. Alcohol: 12.5%. Closure: screwcap. Date tasted: Mar 2023. Drink: 2023-2028. Price: $48. Rating: 95/100.
