We love this thoroughly satisfying Single Vineyard rosé from Adelaide Hills and gifted winemaker Steve Grimley. Steve is rightly enthusiastic in describing it: "The colour is beautiful, super bright and icy on the edges. If you grabbed a fresh green apple from the fridge, dipped it in toffee and had the teeth to tuck in, you’ll catch an express to your first sip, likely your second as well. It’s not cuddly soft, likely the extra skin contact has added some phenolic grip, personally I like this, especially when it’s knitted together with some genuine mid palate sweetness that exits before the end." It is delicious! Steve also mentions: "This is the best wine ever made off Zimmer’s Vineyard and that includes the 2011 which someone like Wine Spectator claimed to be ‘one of the 10 wines you need to try if you think you know Australian Wine’. Fruit if from a single site of Grenache planted in the 1960’s in super sandy soils. It was hand picked first up in the morning, straight into a pneumatic press, left on skins for the rest of the day before being pressed into tank. Settled then racked with ‘fluffy’ lees before fermenting at <21 C until dry. Only 119.58 Cases botted 11th of June.

Beresford pride themselves on passionately capturing the pure varietal expression and the essence of their terrior to deliver a Shiraz of timeless elegance and muscular complexity. Quintessentially McLaren Vale, the wine has a rich, full palate brimming with dark berry fruits, coffee and spice characteristics finishing with soft, lengthy tannins. A cracking wine of great substance and exceptional balance.

One of the earliest and most condensed in history thanks largely to a dry and warm growing season. A very wet July was followed by some of the driest spring months on record, led to some great flavour and colour development and the resulting wines are packed with delicious ripe flavours.

Tintara from South Australia's McLaren Vale represents both history and innovation in McLaren Vale. With a heritage that dates back to 1861 and with a vision to produce contemporary wines, the result are red wines like this Tintara Cabernet Sauvignon. Full of life and vigour with the typical regional chocolate and mocha characters, this McLaren Vale Cab is a perfect little cellar starter or great paired with lamb shanks.

The Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz is an opulent concentrated and complex style with plenty of spicy fruit and a dash of chocolate. True to the style that Wolf himself made from the very beginning of this now iconic brand, this is very tasty and enjoyable now yet it has the weight and complexity to improve with cellaring.

Shingleback Red Knot Shiraz has beautiful layers of dark fruits and soft earthy chocolate aromas on the nose. The Subtle savoury oak and chewy fruit tannins gives a nice structure to the wine. This will be a rewarding wine with careful cellaring, ensuring longevity.

Chapel Hill's Cabernet Sauvignon is a superb McLaren Vale wine which rivals others well beyond its price range. Generous blackcurrant, dark cherries, cedar and spice mixed in with fine, firm tannins. This wine can be enjoyed now but will continue to improve with a few years in the cellar.

A fresh, lifted bouquet with delightful notes of rose water and summer berry pudding. Bright and energetic with a juicy acidity - reminiscent of fresh yellow plums. The palate is awash with berry fruit character and maintains a dry, chalky tension with moreish bitter orange complexities. Serve it nice and chilled in the warmer months, its great with spicy food.

Chapel Hill The Vinedresser is a true to form McLaren Vale Shiraz. With hints of blueberry and spice and a long, silky finish.
