Produced from low yielding, hand harvested vines and made using traditional techniques, D'Arry's Original is a smooth, textured, full bodied red which typifies the generous McLaren style. Always one of those little cellar stars that you can buy up a case or two, hide under the house for a decade and be quietly content that d'Arry's Original will be shining in a decade.

Planted in the late 19th century, the High Trellis vineyard was the first d'Arenberg vineyard to be trained above knee height. For the past four decades, a Cabernet Sauvignon has been produced from the vineyard to critical acclaim, even winning the Jimmy Watson trophy in 1969. Something that d'Arry reminds current winemaker, and son, Chester about often!

Shingleback have always been known for producing quality McLaren Vale wines at some fantastic prices. Take Red Knot for example! Here they re-launched their estate wines under the 'Davey Estate' label and concentrate on single sites. This Cabernet is wonderfully youthful and full of vibrancy. Fresh black fruit with roasted spice and superbly balanced tannins.

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

Jane Faulkner is bang on about this two-time Gold medal-winning, 95pt red when writing in The Halliday Wine Companion: "Aside from being a steal, this is a classy Cabernet. Fruit off vines hovering around 45 years, aged in French barriques, 30% new and aged 20 months all up. It’s made with intent, it’s made well and it highlights cassis and blackberries dipped in choc-mint, sweet spices and cedary oak … The palate is well composed and filled with textural tannins, fresh acidity and more besides. Enjoyment writ large here. 95pts. Great Value” It also won Gold at the local Langhorne Creek Wine Show. For John Lehmann witing in The Astralian this is: "A classic Cabernet unfurls here with cedar, blackcurrant, cassis and spearmint on the nose, then a concentrated palate offering blackcurrant fruit pastilles, mint and savoury, herbal notes on the finish. The tannins are firm but decanting will help bring out the fruit." We love Lake Breeze, but don't take our word for it... “The quality of the Lake Breeze wines is exemplary, with the red wines particularly appealing ...” (James Halliday). “Like Greg Follett, the Lake Breeze wines are unassuming but quietly impressive. Never doubt the value they represent...” (Peter Forrestal, Gourmet Traveller Wine). The winery has gone from strength to strength with Greg Follett heading the Lake Breeze winemaking team. Lake Breeze has been named Australia’s Champion Small Winery at the Australian Small Winemakers Show, and has won Champion Wine four times. Elsewhere it can boast well over 25 trophies and 125 Golds. In 2023 Lake Breeze won Best Value Winery of the Year in Halliday’s Wine Companion, and Greg Follett was shortlisted as Winemaker of the Year 2024.

An amazing parcel of rich, dark, concentrated McLaren Vale Shiraz has gone into 'The Prize' ... look forward to a mouthful of powerful dark fruit, a tempting dark chocolate richness, and a silky, spicy, long, long palate. This is a beauty. Enjoy.

McLaren Vale is home to some of Australia's biggest reds and here's a prize example from the bestselling 'Black Pig' - a cassis-rich Cabernet with wall-to-wall black cherry and bramble tones and a delicious lick of menthol.

Michael Fragos grew up in McLaren Vale, and spent 14 years at Tatachilla before taking over at Chapel Hill in 2004. A three-time ‘Bushing King’, Michael has also been named best winemaker on the planet! James Halliday notes that his “wine quality is unfailingly excellent” . This one has an expressive nose of blackcurrant, bay leaf cigar box and chocolate. The palate is medium to full-bodied, beautifully structured, with a powerful complexity, fine-grained tannins, velvety texture and long, long finish.

When bees are present, the ecological environment is healthy and thriving. The Pollinator Series salutes our beloved Honeybee, Paxton's mascot, for it's vital role in maintaining natural balance and health in the world and in our organic-biodynamic vineyards. The Pollinator Shiraz shows an explosion of raspberries, strawberries, mulberries and plums with a hint of lavender and sandalwood on the nose. On the palate, a medium bodied, drink while young style of wine, bright and fresh red berry fruits followed by a fantastic mid palate packed full of vibrant layers of fruit intensity and topped off with silky tannins and a velvet finish.
