Barossa Valley Shiraz with several high point scores and "gobs of ripe blackberry, Doris plum and boysenberry fruits.... Plenty of Value here... 92pts" (Halliday). Former amateur DJ (hence the unusual wine name), Derek Fitzgerald made wines for nearly 20 years in WA, Langhorne Creek and the Barossa Valley before his wife Kirsten, gently persuaded him to make wine on their own account. Sam Kim Wine Orbit finds it "delightfully fragrant..."Ken Gargett is a fan too, calling it: "Rich, ripe and bold, this is big (in flavour terms) and generous with good intensity throughout and very good length supported by firm tannins. A seamless style, it will drink beautifully for at least a decade. 93pts” (Ken Gargett, WinePilot).

Malbec is a grape close to Sam's heart. His wife Maria, who works with him, is from Argentina, so perhaps that's not surprising. He also has a passion for th Durif grape and has done for decades. His car licence plate even reads 'DURIF'. What he loves most though is making wines that wine lovers adore. And he has been doing that for years very well indeed. We've worked with him for decades, and this shy, modest man is a simply brilliant at creating wines that show judges - and our customers love! His Grandfathers back in Italy began thhe winemaking tradion of the Trimboli family, they would be very proud of Sam.

Sevenhill was originally set up in 1851 when the Jesuits who settled in the area planted the Clare Valley’s first vines to produce sacramental wine. The estate’s wines, along with its old stone winery, stately St Aloysius’ Church, College building and spacious gardens has made the Sevenhill name famous. So much so that they have recently won the Gourmet Traveller Award for best Large Cellar Door in the Clare Valley! Ray Jordan gives their 2021 Malbec a solid 92pts, "Malbec is a variety that does rather well in Clare, especially as a major blending component with cabernet. Still this one does it solo, and it does it well. Lots of the distinctive red floral fruits on the nose have that stamp of malbec. Bright and alive on a high energy palate with plenty of ripe red fruit characters with chalky tannins and understated oak in support."
