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).
Wine Unplugged Pacha Mama Pinot Noir
Look forward to strawberries, spices, herbs, bay leaves, and cassis on the nose – with a lovely vibrant intensity of red fruits on the palate. "Callie Jemmeson believes that winemaking doesn’t have to have barriers: what it does need is quality, focus and a destination. 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.
Rowlee Orange Chardonnay
Rowlee’s vineyard was planted over 20 years ago by Nik and Deonne Samodol in the high-elevation (950m) cool climate of Orange. Their daughter, Nicole Samodol, and her partner James Manny ‘combine European wine growing heritage with New World practices. This Chardonnay has subtle lemon and grapefruit citrus with underlying nougat and cashew notes.
Kaesler Reach for the Sky Barossa Shiraz
The Kaesler family were Silesian immigrants who settled in the Barossa Valley back in 1845, setting out the current vineyards in 1893. Though the family sold up in 1968 the estate is still in tact and bears the family name. Reid Bosward is the winemaker of this fine Shiraz, given 94pts by Dave Brooks in The Halliday Wine Companion. “Another cracker from the excellent 2021 vintage, more along the blueberry and boysenberry fruit line in this wine with abundant spice and hints of dark chocolate, licorice, Christmas cake, roasting meats and violets. Tight, fine sandy tannins lend ample support and the wine trails off nicely with a real meaty, dark-fruited edge.”
Lloyd Brothers Adelaide Hills Estate Picpoul
A 91pt, Great Value delight from the pictureaque Adelaide Hills and the Lloyd Brothers estate "refreshing and pure in its feel. A delicate, seaside kind of white with lemon blossom, kiwi fruit and briny scents. Offers flavours of more kiwi, some lime and soft mandarin-like sweet-sour characters. There's a good extension of flavour and a pleasing, saline minerality through the finish. You can see oysters in its future. It's a great wee drink..." Mike Bennie, The Halliday Wine Companion.
