The unstoppable John Quarisa really is unstoppable! He has been variously described as a “magician” and “a sorcerer” by Halliday. His wines do have a magic knack of winning Gold. His secret? Over 20 years of experience as a winemaker and wine judge – and a great attitude. As John says, “you just can’t take life too seriously” . Today, taste his Double Gold-winning ‘Enchanted Tree’ Cabernet. It's juicy and rich, with delicious dark plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, and subtle eucalypt and mint. The tannins are fine and smooth... a little bit of magic in the glass!

"A super example of Adelaide Hills Cabernet Sauvignon. It’s from Clarendon, an area consistently producing some of the finest red wines in the region. This has everything – poise, power, elegance and style – all delivered with a smooth deft touch. 95pts"(Wine Pilot). It has a dash of Shiraz, which adds to the complexity and spends a full 24 months in oak lending it "vanillin oak, cake spice and cigar characters on the nose" and making it "Flavoursome and highly enjoyable" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit).

A single vineyard Coonawarra treat with FIVE Golds including a rare Great Gold, a Double, and multiple scores of 94-97 pts. "This is a compelling rendition, showing crème de cassis, Black Doris plum, violet and cigar box aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate that's both powerful and sophisticated. Multi-layered, immensely complex and properly structured with a great line and length" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). Stuart Knox in The Real Review remarks how its "big and rich lift of cassis, cola, and dark chocolate jumps from the glass. A big and dense wine, lashings of black fruit, layered with vanilla and cola spices".

This top Cabernet comes from a fifth-generation winemaker whose ancestors planted some of the first vines in South Australia in 1837. Halliday calls it “a distinguished estate with a proud history, long renowned for its Cabernet”. Winestate Magazine gives it an impressive Five Stars: "A very pretty dark fruit/blackcurrant bouquet and good depth and concentration of sweet primary varietal flavours on the fresh, tight and vibrant palate that has a soft tannin structure...5 Stars" (Winestate Magazine)

Punnets of strawberry, blackberry and raspberry flavour are miraculously shoehorned into a standard size bottle, while ageing in American oak adds a spicy, toasty finishing touch. 'Big Mac' McPherson grew up in the world of wine, tutored by his father Jock, who had established a winery in the Hunter Valley. Andrew went on to set up wineries at home and abroad and work for some Australia's top names. These days he crafts characterful wines by himself at great value prices. The Full Fifteen is perfect with roast beef or lamb and a wonderful companion to barbecues.

The rich palate shows berry fruit flavour and soft ripe tannins. The finish is also soft and long. This is a classical Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon exhibiting elegance with excellent flavour and structure. A benchmark of the region, enjoy with roast lamb now or cellar it for up to 7 years and watch it evolve!
