From two small vineyards that stood out for their ability to capture true McLaren Vale chocolate, spices and an amazing depth of red fruits and blackberry.

The vintage gods smiled ever so well on the majority of the vineyard area of South Australia during the 2008 vintage and the result are wines like this little beauty from Jamiesons Run. A brilliant wine of richness and sweetness upon release, time in our climate controlled cellars has amplified those secondary characters of herb, cedar and mocha to deliver a perfectly balanced, and affordable cellared wine.

This wine is extremely fragrant, revealing aromas of fresh raspberries, maraschino cherries and peppery spices. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of juicy berries and soft tannins with exotic subtleties of pomogranate and rose. Matches perfectly well with slow cooked casseroles, stews and tomato-based dishes like spaghetti Bolognese.

The Bare Touch wines are made by Cowpunk winemaker Aaron Mercer using early picked grapes, free run juice and a “hands off” non intervention approach. The grapes are naturally lower in alcohol and with far less skin contact than a traditional red wine, the free run juice is bright and vibrant with significantly lower tannins. The hands off winemaking approach allows the fruit to express itself fully whilst building complexity. The result is a range of fresh and elegant wines with a sleek, supple mouthfeel that are perfect to be served with a moderate chill or straight from the fridge.

Shingleback Vineyard Selection wines capture the genuine and enduring character of the McLaren Vale region in South Australia .Situated between the hills and the sea and its unique terroir characterised by its warm Mediterranean climate. A softer style dominated by black fruits and spices, Grenache gives life and vitality to the palate combinating with savoury spicy tannin finish.

A lighter to medium bodied Grenache that is super easy drinking. Captivating nose of sweet berry flavours with hints of raspberry fruit and spice. The seamless palate is light and juicy with sweet fruit and a subtle earthiness and clean acidity on the finish. • Vegan Suitable No Added Preservative.

The Winemakers range include limited release parcels from some of the top regions in Australia. This vintage showcases vibrant fruit vibrancy and refined structure, making it an elegant and approachable expression of McLaren Vale's signature GSM style.
