Wynns Michael Shiraz is a 'best-of-vintage' Shiraz from Wynns vineyard sites in Coonawarra and is named after David Wynn's youngest son. Made in the years that best show Coonawarra's unique terroir, this latest release displays the qualities that have made the 'Michael' one of the most highly regarded of all Australian Shiraz with aromas of red currants, cherries and raspberry that mesh every so well with the olive and white spice characters. The palate follows with an elegant structure bursting with dark brooding spice and succulent ripe tannins.

With the estate itself dating back to 1772, and the logo taking inspiration from an ancient connection to the Knights Templars history in the Pomerol region, Chateau Gazin is steeped in both winemaking and national history. Sharing borders with Petrus and LEvangile, it more than holds its own among its distinguished peers! It has been in the possession of the same family since 1917, with the most recent descendent, Nicolas de Bailliencourt assuming control in 1988. Under de Bailliencourts watchful eye, the Chateau has abolished machine harvesting, making a return to hand-picking, and producing lower overall yields.

Conterno Fantino is an Italian wine producer based in Piedmont wine region in the northwest of the country. Located close to the village of Monforte d'AlbaIt, the estate was established in 1982 and today, produces wine from four key grape varieties: Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Chardonnay. The wine portfolio is led by a small collection of Barolo DOCG wines from the Ginestra and Mosconi cru vineyards. These wines are all fermented and macerated on their skins in stainless steel fermenters for approximately 8-15 days and spend 24 months in French oak barrels before aging in the bottle for 12 months. In the vineyard, grapes are hand-harvest to ensure only those of premium-quality are brought into the winery. The fermentation process occurs with indigenous yeasts, with a majority of wines also going thorough malolactic fermentation. French oak is sourced for barrel-aging.
