Zonte's Footstep Chocolate Factory Mclaren Vale Shiraz
Entry: Velvety and plush and fragrant rich blackberrycherry fruits. Some tangy cedar and lingering cigar box characters. Middle Palate: Juicy round black cherry fruits, tempered with the soft idiosyncratic "milk chocolate" McLaren Vale Shiraz sweetness and roundness. After Palate: Lashings of trademark milk chocolate with blackberries and dark-fleshed plums and spice with velvety, smooth tannins. Finish: Juicy blackberry and mocha notes intertwined with signature lush McLaren Vale tannins. It's like taking a big mouthful of Black Forest cake.
Mountadam Vineyards Patriarch High Eden Shiraz
Eden Valley’s Mountadam Vineyards was established in 1972 and is nestled on a unique rocky outcrop ranging in elevation up to 550m. The vineyards were founded by David Wynn, who is credited with several milestones in winemaking, including the creation of the wine cask and planting the first contour vineyard in Australia. “More concentrated. More intense. A firmer weave of coffee grind and clove to bitter chocolate-doused tannins, too, with a darker fruit persuasion than its sassier brethren. More typically Australian, I suppose. More oomph, auguring well for a long, bright future. ... 93 points” (Halliday Wine Companion).

Jim Barry Single Vineyard McKay's Clare Valley Grenache
Over three generations the Barry name has been famous throughout the wine world and synonymous with the Clare Valley. A founding member of Australia’s First Families of Wine, the Barry family celebrated the 60th anniversary of its winery in 2020, the year it also scooped the title of Halliday’s ‘Winery of the Year’. Jim Barry bought his first vineyard here in 1959, and even helped the Taylor family open their winery a decade later. Son Peter took over Jim Barry in 1985, and today brothers Tom and Sam, with sister Olivia, have raised the bar even higher. Enjoy a new Jim Barry exclusive, an absolutely delicious Single Vineyard Grenache. The grape has become the hottest thing in wine in recent years, with a new generation of winemakers create fresh, super approachable modern styles. When Grenache – rare in the Clare Valley – came up in discussion, buyer Ben Cohn, an ardent devotee of the grape, was stoked. The wine was crafted using fruit from the family’s limestone-rich McKay’s vineyard in Watervale – and sings with fresh red fruit and elegant, sandy tannins. It boasts fresh raspberry & spice on nose & palate with bluefruits, plum & orange rind hints. Great length too. Serve it slightly chilled, and it makes a great match with Thai Pork Belly. It’s exquisite. We share it at a special launch price (especially exciting for UNLIMITED members).

With a strong emphasis on vineyard selection and a gentle approach to their small-batch winemaking," Halliday.
La Bella
Founder Señor Andrés Ruberte began making wine from the gnarled old bush vines of his 25-hectare estate in Campo de Borja in 1978. Skip forward to 2017 and the estate under the husband and wife team of Miguel Salvador and Susana Ruberte was named the “BEST WINERY IN ARAGÓN.” Around 500 years ago, local farmers began to carve vast caves into the side of the Moncayo Mountain next to the winery. To this day, several are still in use as refuges for their owners from the intense Summer heat. As the owners proudly report: "Ours is the only such cave in the area that continues to serve its original purpose and although the original oak barrels have since been replaced, the mountain walls hold firm and still provide the ideal cellar for our finest barrel-aged wines". La Bella is a velvety blend of Garnacha, Syrah and Tempranillo crafted by Scottish-born, Spanish expert winemaker Pamela Geddes. It's 100% barrel aged in French oak, lovely and smooth now with six years of aging in barrel and bottle and a treat served alongside roast lamb. Oh, and it also boasts EIGHT Golds including a rare Great Gold and a Double and high scores of 90-92pts.
