Former Gourmet Traveller WINE Viticulturist of the Year, the Chalmers family is renowned as Australia's key pioneer with so-called "alternative varieties", as grapevine importers, growers and cheerleaders of so many Mediterranean grapes that are enjoying great demand nowadays. In 2017 Chalmers once again sourced the grapes for their rosato from the highest altitude, most prized block at their Heathcote site. For the first time, though, all three of the varieties planted there made it into this unique blend. Aglianico (63%), Sagrantino (33%) and Nero d'Avola (4%) were hand-picked, whole bunch-pressed, and vinified separately.

This outstanding rosé is a collaboration between Jon Bon Jovi, his son Jesse and Gérard Bertrand. It represents the spirit and lifestyle of the south of France. The grapes were selected from only the best sites. Elegant, with a pale rose colour. The wine is fresh and lively with distinctive minerality and a long-lasting finish, intensified by aging in French oak barrels. Its intense aromas of red fruit, citrus fruit and spices make it another perfect companion to be shared among friends.

2015 is the third release of the Jack’s GSM, with a blend of 56% Old Vine Grenache, 26% Shiraz and 18% Mourvédre. Each variety adds its own characteristics to the blend – Grenache aromatic red fruits and spice, Shiraz body and weight while Mourvédre adds structure and complexity. The grapes were de-stemmed and 60% berries crushed while 40% whole berries remained before being transferred into open top fermenters. Fermentation was kept on the cooler side and hand plunged twice per day with a rack and return for 14 days. After fermentation the wine was then drained to oak barrels and skins were hand shovelled out of the fermenters into the basket press. Appearance: Ruby core with crimson rim. Aroma: Spice and earthy characters dominate in the 2015 opposed to the previous vintage. Cinnamon stick and nutmeg along with attractive aromas of cherry, plum and rhubarb pie. Palate: It’s all about the structure with this vintage. Firm mouthfeel from grippy tannins but with soft acidity. There is a persistent cherry flavour on the finish. Region: 100% Barossa Valley.

Youthful, mid-weight palate, bright spiced red cherry and ripe raspberry fruits on attack to turn to a slately, dried spice and cherry pit close. Precise and focussed, fine sandy tannins and bright acids deliver drive and finish.

Beautiful salmon-pink robe, displaying fragrant fruity and floral notes. Round and full-bodied texture in the mouth, with an agreeably tender and velvety freshness.

"Redbrook evokes a sense of luxury and indulgence. The Estate range is varietally expressive and fruit-driven, with no compromise on style or quality" - Matt Byrne, Senior Wine Maker
