Back in 1998 Chief Winemaker, Chris Hatcher, decided it was time to take Wolf Blass into the modern world and the result was a single varietal Shiraz that was 100% aged in French Oak, unlike their famous flagship the Black Label which is a blend and aged in American Oak. A wonderful contemporary version of Wolf Blass that is a cavalcade of rich blueberry, blackberry and complex elements of dark chocolate and warm spice. Superbly long on the palate with an obvious hint to a long future in the cellar.

Left in a sorry state by the previous owners, in 1962 the Rothschilds of Lafite took over the property and begun to reconstruct the vineyard which was planted mostly to Petit Verdot. 4 decades later and the wines of Château Duhart-Milon are now showing the flavour and concentration you expect from such a site in Pauillac.

The Tally sits comfortably in the company of Australia's greatest Cabernets. Massive fruit tannin to pucker your lips, dripped over deep luscious varietal fruits with some of the world's finest French Oak to complement. Any lover of Cabernet Sauvignon is neglecting their education if they have not had a bottle!

A wonderful grenache made from vines 70 to almost 100 years old. A small amount of new wood treatment is given. 2011 is a very rich year for Chateauneuf and this display dark plums, mulberry & licorice. A wine that is full bodied and opulent and will reward cellaring.

The jewel in LAN’s crown. A Reserva made only in vintages that are classed as excellent from the most prestigious area of Viña Lanciano - Pago el Rincón. 87% tempranillo, 13% graciano. Pago El Rincón. Viña Lanciano. Bush vines (the traditional form) of 50-60 years of age. Hand harvested. The harvest at Pago El Rincón took place on the 6th of September. Winemaking and Ageing: Hand harvested in small baskets with a double selection table. Alcoholic fermentation in small truncated-cone shaped stainless steel tanks and malolactic conversion in very finegrained new French oak barrels from the Tronçais and Jupille forests. It then aged for 22 months in French oak barrels from the Tronçais and Jupille forests with two rackings to favour natural sedimentation to clarify the wine. Aged in bottle for 22 months. Tasting Notes: Colour: A very deep shade of cherry red. Nose: notes of blueberry, ripe cherry and blackcurrant with notes of forest floor, mint, black pepper and cinnamon on a floral background, intensified by the presence of Graciano, which adds great aromatic complexity to the Tempranillo. Mouth: Very flavourful, rounded, with structure and complextity that lead us to a long finish. Pairing: Red and grilled meats, spicy dishes. A perfect wine to enjoy with chocolate-based desserts.

Château Lascombes was a small property by Bordeaux standards up until 1951, which then grew to beyond its means until the most recent ownership change which has seen better fruit selection and a creation of a second label to produce an estate wine of purity and concentrated flavours. Using the talents of Dr Alain Reynaud and Michel Rolland the wines continue to impress in recent years, namely this spectacular 2009 vintage which is proving to be one of the greatest vintages in the past 100. Even at this early stage the Lascombes looks superb with balance between power and opulence treading a near perfect line.

A blend of 51% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot from 2010 - the Chateau Pape Clement is located in Pessac covering 32 hectares of vines, planted to red and white varieties. The estate is considered one of the most historical in all of Bordeaux, with history dating back to the 14th century, though its reputation wasn't fully forged until the mid-20th century. Detailed vineyard work is now a motif for the prestigious winery, and winemaking is set to modern with the use of stainless steel and higher ratio of new oak barrels. Though considered Cru Classe Graves, Chateau Pape Clement is considered one of the most collectable and highest quality estates in Pessac-Leognan.

With a name that directly translates from French as 'The Soil', the Le Sol Syrah (Shiraz) pays homage to the terroir that creates this rich and evocative wine. With the trademark Gimblett Gravels stony soil, with exhibits amazing refinement and breeding while not relinquishing body and complexity.
