Winemaker Kevin Mitchell has set a new benchmark for Clare Valley Shiraz. A nose of stewed plum and spice followed by generosity on the palate, all at a price that delivers great value for money.

2017 Pepperjack Barossa Valley Shiraz. Rich dark red in colour with a dark purple rim, the nose shows rich concentrated red and blue fruits, dark chocolate and rich mocha notes with hints of spice and cedary oak. The palate is rich and plush with good structure. There is a concentrated layer of berry fruit and oak which is balanced with the fine tannins to give length and power while finishing soft and full of flavour.

K by Krondorf is a fresh and vibrant expression of Barossa Shiraz with bright red & dark berry fruit on the nose & palate, subtle oak and a soft, elegant finish.

First Drop wines continue their hot-streak with a big, bold, smooth Barossa shiraz - with 95pts to show for it. Dark fruit, velvety tannins and a big structure, this is about as much Barossa and you can cram into a bottle. Unbelievable value. This is the kind of shiraz that disappears much faster than you'd think. Plush, ripe, fruit-driven, and dangerously drinkable, it delivers everything you want from Barossa fruit - dark berries, savoury spice, and a luscious, big mouthfeel that keeps you coming back. Ten months in seasoned French oak keeps the focus on pure, expressive fruit. It's soft, textured, and perfectly balanced for maximum drinking joy. No overthinking needed here - just pure enjoyment.

To quote the great man, Rolf Binder, himself, “You can’t go wrong with an easy-drinking, classic Barossa Shiraz at a good price". And he's right, this wine is just that - 'classic'. And the price? well, 'good' doesn't really do it justice... this is an incredible deal! This deep cherry-red beauty is a glass full of classic Barossa goodness. Ripe red berries leap from the glass, followed by dark cherry, blueberry, cassis and just a hint of vanilla and liquorice to keep things interesting. The palate’s full-bodied and silky, with ripe tannins and just enough acidity to keep it all fresh and flowing. It’s smooth, it’s approachable, and the flavour hangs around long enough to make sure you noticed how delicious it was. A seriously satisfying red that'll have you reaching for another glass dangerously quickly.

PLEASE REPLACE THIS DESCRIPTION WITH THE REAL ONE!!!

Chris Ringland is one of the most admired and talented winemakers on the planet, but these days, he calls the Barossa Valley home, knowing it like the back of his hand. He has sourced top-notch Shiraz from the vineyards in the northwest of the Valley for this richly flavoured, finely balanced wine. Look for blackberries, plum pudding and dark chocolate. More flavour in this half-bottle than in most twice the size.

Rockbare's second label, Mojo Shiraz punches way above it's weight in the quality division. Rich and ripe, this versatile wine would not be out of place at the dinner table or at a BBQ.

Cockfighter's Ghost wines aim to showcase Australia's best wine regions and the wine styles that epitomise the terroir. This McLaren Vale Shiraz shows all the hallmarks of the region with ripe red fruit characters and a smattering of light spice.
