Very solid GSM from Torbreck! Intense plum, cherry and black earth with smoke and vegetal overtones. Great fruit intensity!

This highly aromatic fruit-driven wine is redolent of lychee, rose petals, orange blossom and nutmeg - characteristics of the Gewürztraminer which makes up a large proportion of this blend. The medium bodied palate balances juicy fruit with a touch of residual sugar on a slightly creamy finish. 64% Gewürztraminer , 33% Riesling, 3% Pinot Grigio/Pinot Gris

Jukes: One of the juiciest, most enthralling wines of the moment, an explosion of pipe smoke, rhubarb, mulberry pie scents creamy… succulent palate… could charm even the most hard-to-please wine lovers.

Deep purple red in colour, the wine is a heady mix of dark berry fruit, with earthy nuances and lifted florals from the addition of Viognier. Excellent structure, it has great depth and richness of plums and blackberries with supportive, balanced oak and a lingering finish.

James Halliday Top 100 96 Points A full-bodied shiraz that reflects cunning winemaking. Whole berry fermentation has put a rich gloss on the palate without overloading the tannin structure. The predominantly black berry fruit is shot through with licorice, spice and an airbrush of dark chocolate. JH, 96 Points, Nov 2020

A deliciously vibrant style of Australian Shiraz with succulent raspberry and blackcurrant fruit, hints of spice and elegant, glossy texture.

IWC 2017 Australian Sparkling Trophy - Superbly inviting nose with subtle toasted notes of brioche and fine citrus fruits. Great linear acidity and depth harmonious complexity with flavours of buttered toast, acacia and an elegant finish.

An array of characters such as violets, oregano & thyme, along with glacé cherry Sweet ripe cherry fruit dominates the front palate which then develops into a more savoury wine, showing earthiness, toasted spices and lovely dried herb characters.

The 46th release of Yalumba’s historic blend unites centuries of experience with all of the brilliance that was 2015 in the Barossa. It’s densely packed with crunchy berry fruits, eloquently boosted with dark chocolate oak and framed in magnificently fine tannins. One of the greats. Tyson Stelzer, WBM, January/February 2020

Parker's Wine Advocate 98/100 "Certainly one of the best vintages of young Amon Ra I've ever tasted, the 2018 Amon Ra Shiraz is a stupendous effort. From old vines in the Ebenezer section of the northern Barossa, it starts off with a whirlwind of mocha, blackberry and dried spices, then actually gets more red-fruited as it sits in the glass. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated without being jammy or overdone, the wine finishes long and savory, framed by dusty tannins and mouth watering black olives."

Parker's Wine Advocate 97/100 "The nose is smoky, slightly herbal and marked by sweet cedar- and vanilla-tinged oak, but it also offers great cassis and blackberry fruit. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the flavors are kept nicely in check by fine-grained tannins. This wine has it all: terrific intensity, complexity, length and texture"

Parker's Wine Advocate 92/100 "All Shiraz, all from the Ebenezer section of the northern Barossa... super value in the context of Barossa, and Australian Shiraz in general. Matured in only 5% new oak hogsheads, it delivers bountiful cherry and raspberry fruit, accented by hints of mocha and cola. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and juicy, fruity and lush, but reined in by firm, savory tannins on the long, mouth watering finish"

Parker's Wine Advocate 91/100 "Glaetzer's least-expensive offering is a terrific bargain... a 72-28 blend, offering hints of cola and plum on the nose, backed by brighter raspberry and strawberry notes. It's medium to full-bodied and framed by silky, fine-grained tannins, with a long, mouth watering finish that hints at mocha and wood spice. Drink this beauty over the next 6-7 years" Jancis Robinson of the 2016 "Deep crimson and very polished tannins. Alcohol well hidden and overall a lovely well-balanced wine. Very satisfying with everything in its place. 17/20"

Deliciously rounded wine with a crisp and clean finish balanced nicely by gentle acidity.

This Shiraz has an intense crimson colour with youthful purple hues. Generous, mouth-filling sweet blackberries, raspberries and plums cover the palate with lashings of sweet spice. Firm but fine tannins and dark chocolatey nuances continue throughout the lengthy palate with a youthful finish.

Bright purple hue with a touch of red. A floral perfume of cherries, Turkish delight and raspberries, with a hint of spontaneous (wild) fermentation and whole bunch characters. Bright fruit driven front palate, with soft and silky mid palate. Hints of raspberries, cinnamon, liquorice, Turkish delight and nutmeg. Medium bodied with luscious tannins. Always a super-impressive crowd pleaser.

An almost forgotten but traditional and timeless blend of Shiraz and Riesling. With aromas of rose petals, lifted red fruits and a little lime marmalade derived from co-fermentation with the aromatic Eden Valley Riesling. Deep red in colour with youthful violet hints, the wine has aromas of rose petals, lifted red fruits and a hint of lime marmalade from the co-fermentation with the aromatic Eden Valley Riesling.

This Grenache has fresh aromas of ripe red cherries and raspberries, with notes of rhubarb, rose petals and musk leading on to a plush and juicy palate. This wine is youthful, medium-bodied and lively, with a long, succulent finish bolstered by fine, grainy tannins.

Intense sense of terroir on this, from the gnarly old Grenache bush vines - 65 years old plus and not irrigated. Wafts of hot earth and cigar, ripe but bruised fruit, evolved, no new oak apparent. An affordable classic from this epic estate. Crimson with garnet hues. Bright, lifted aromas of redcurrant, rosehip and raspberry develop into concentrated baked plum pudding with spicy notes. The soft, luscious palate is complemented by complex flavours of spiced berry compote, raspberry and red liquorice. An elegant style with fine, velvety tannins and balanced acidity.

Pale straw with green hues. Lifted and fragrant aromas of pear, white peach, nectarine and citrus with baking spices and toasted cashew. The palate shows richness and finesse with flavours of ripe peach and pear providing a fleshy textural quality. These characters are beautifully balanced by fresh citrus acidity and subtle oak nuances, giving the wine depth and finishing with incredible length.

Pale straw with lime-green hues. Fragrant aromas of lime, grapefruit pith, lime juice, citrus zest, bergamot oil and white florals with undertones of green peppercorn. The palate is pure and bright with flavours of citrus, stone fruit and guava, beautifully balanced by steely minerality and fresh acidity providing power, concentration and a long, precise finish.

94 points Wine Spectator " Powerful, vibrant and fragrant, with dried lavender, Earl Grey, dried oregano, five-spice power and dark chocolate aromatics to mingle with the core of velvety smooth plum, black cherry and wild blackberry flavors. The tannins firm up appealingly on the finish, which goes on and on. Drink now through 2042."

Jancis Robinson.com: 17 + Superbly fragrant – that red fruit is superbly pure, and really advertises the sheer pleasure of the variety. Redcurrant and raspberry with a touch of herbal character in backup. Exemplary varietal character. (RH) Drink 2020-2029

Always a charmer (and award-winner). Has shot to brilliance recently, in an interesting direction: so much 'terroir', smells like posh Chablis with seashell and wet stone, then opens out with Muersault-like punch plus a chalky-saline grip. Faultess.

Aromas of wild flowers, chamomile, lavender and wild rose. A silky yet defined wine with white fleshed peach and vanilla layered over fresh grapefruit.

This wine is full of vibrant red fruits balanced with spice and sweet oak. The mid weight palate has lots of red cherries and blackberries and finishes with gentle spicy oak and mocha characters.

Pale gold with lime green hues. Fragrant clover blossom, lemon curd, Nashi pear and stone-fruit aromas are elevated by notes of freshly cut meadow, biscuit and lanolin. Rich citrus, lemon butter and stone-fruit flavours are balanced with elegant and pure acidity, carrying the complex mid-palate along a clean and fine finish with excellent length. (Liberty)
