d'Arenberg The Stranded Starfish Rose
Since 1912 the Osborn family have tended vineyards in McLaren Vale, South Australia. Today, fourth generation family member Chester makes distinctive wines using traditional and sustainable methods in the vineyard and winery. Small batches of grapes undergo 10 days of carbonic maceration, then are gently crushed and immediately drained to finish fermentation in stainless steel. Stranded starfish have no place to hide. It'll be those that gave their island to survive; drink up, dreamers, you're running dry.
Drop of Sunshine Shiraz
Wine is like a story... Engaging, vibrant and with dimension, a good one tastes like a Drop of Sunshine. A brand crafted and created by women in collaboration with Hello Sunshine, this is our toast to moments of connection and the journeys that shape us, inspired by every drop of joy along the way. This smooth Shiraz had juicy blueberry and plum aromas, with hints of raspberry on the nose. Across the palate, it has vibrant blue fruits, finishing with plush velvety tannins.

James Busby Shiraz
Deep ruby red with a lovely youthful violet hue. A fragrant nose of fresh blueberries, a little vanillin, mixed spice, cedar and a floral hint of perfumed violets. Approachable, graceful palate of mulberry and blueberry compote. Up front, juicy flesh of plum with underlying notes of chocolate coated coffee beans, mint, black pepper, and a hint of earthy truffles. A solid backbone of supporting acidity extends these characters towards the finish.
Train To Nowhere McLaren Vale Shiraz
Trains played a key role in early South Australian history. McLaren Vale was a central stop for passengers on their journey between Melbourne and Adelaide before highways rendered the railways unnecessary. Now, these 'ghost rail lines' are all that's left of the bustling intercity connection; a testament to times past when trains ruled. The rolling stock that sits idle are all that's left; a Train to Nowhere. This Shiraz is a tribute to those trains that carried passengers faithfully between cities. It displays sweet blackberry and Christmas cake aromas, with a full palate of dark fruit and dashes of cinnamon and spice.
