Tasting Notes:

Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz 2017 Export Cork

Bright, deep garnet. Intense, rich red and black fruits, overlayed with dried florals and spice. A layered, generous wine with bounds of aromatic florals and spice, luscious red and black fruits paired with finely structured tannins and mouthwatering acidity.


Katnook Winemakers Edition Coonawarra Shiraz 2017

The nose displays a complex array of fruit, spice and subtle oak aromas. Intense red berry fruit with hints of spiced plum, cloves and spice, interwoven with subtle oak characters of mocha and vanillin. The medium bodied, rounded palate is complemented by silky tannins and great length. Try with a juicy chargrilled steak, slow cooked lamb shanks or wood fired pizza.


Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Nose of Dark cherry and lavender imbued with underlying dried mint. The 2018 Black Label Cabernet is a combination of dark fruit and finesse.  Initially the palate is soft and round, but a fine tannin framework provides structure and length on the palate. A beautifully balanced, medium- weight Cabernet with all the hallmarks of this 20heritage label. Pristine varietal cabernet fruit balanced for guaranteed cell


Shanahans The Old Dog Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

Deep dark black with a purple crimson hue. Initially the overwhelming characters on the nose are blackberry and plum which is consistent with the select vineyard source. Blackcurrant and chocolate reveal themselves when allowed to breathe. Probably the most full-bodied Old Dog we have seen in recent years which is a reflection of vintage and vineyard source, therefore I suggest allowing it to breathe if drinking in its youth. The dark plum and blackberry carry over from the nose whilst some blueberry, chocolate and liquorice all play alongside each other harmoniously. The finish shows silky-smooth tannins, soft under-lying oak and earthy characters which are pivotal to the balance of this wine. We release this wine to ensure the drinkability upon release as well as longevity although do suggest allowing this exceptional Shiraz to breathe to truly reflect perfectly who we are and where we are in terms of fruit source and sub regional character from another great Barossa Valley vintage, which celebrates our commitment to the region, traditional winemaking and hands off approach.


Clarendon Hills Bakers Gully Syrah 2012

Blackened crimson. Perfumed roast meats and nuances of spice overlay the otherwise liquorice and black currant dominated expression. Its elegant yet full of vibrancy and its youthful vigour entertains the viewer.A long and aromatically scented structure progressively delivers the liquorice and spiced fruit in a persistent fashion. Velvety tannin and balanced acidity echoâs both potential and proposition. Smoothed extract and overall polish ensures immediate satisfaction.


Jim Barry Lodge Hill Clare Valley Shiraz 2018

This wine is a deep red with a bright magenta hue.Vibrant aromatics of purple fruited compote, spice and purple florals on the nose.The palate is dominated by dark fruits and brambles, spice and a hint of warming oak, with a seamless flow and integrated tannin.Juicy dark fruit flavours persist through the finish, with a hint of violet to close. 


Majella The Musician Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz 2018 

The colour is vibrant deep ruby red with a crimson hue. Fresh mint, eucalyptus and spice make up the lifted nose. The palate is soft and well balanced, with blackberries and cassis flavours with supple soft tannins.


Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

Deep dark squid ink with youthful purple and red hues. Luscious aromas of ripe blackberry and concentrated cherry are highlighted by nuances of milk chocolate, violet and cassis. The palate is youthfully opulent and potent, with rich dark cherry, blackberry, aniseed, liquorice and earthy leather flavours building through the mid palate before the silky tannins and fresh acid explode which are typical characters of the vintage. This full-bodied Shiraz has a long lingering finish. Enhanced with a shot of espresso like American and French oak.Fermented in stainless steel, small volume fermentors to maintain strong fruit flavour from skins. Hand plunged twice daily for seven days then transferred into American and French oak barrels for the remainder of ferment then spent 14 months to allow full flavour development.


The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

Deep purple with red brick flash around edge. Blackberry fruits with hints of licorice, oak and aniseed. The palate is softly spoken and fruit driven initially with blackberries, plums and licorice notes giving your insight into what is ahead. An approachable mid palate, which is full-flavored, while the fine-grained tannins finish with complex notes of olives, cashew nuts and oak. An alluring finish, which is moreish and smooth, yet has great length.


Redesdale Estate Heathcote Shiraz 2006

Savoury, meaty notes. Shows some wonderful herbal lifted tones on the nose. Blue fruit becomes obvious as the wine opens up. Palate is soft and alluring, with a luscious mouth-feel, blueberry and talc. Tannins dominate, a brilliant long acid palate carries the fruit and flavour profile for a wonderful length.

Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz 2017 Export Cork

The 2017 Billi Billi Shiraz is sourced from a selection of premium cool climate vineyards throughout Victoria; predominantly the Grampians including a portion from the Mount Langi Ghiran vineyards, home of the iconic Langi Shiraz. The 2017 vintage delivered ideal growing conditions with a long dry summer and cool nights. 


Katnook Winemakers Edition Coonawarra Shiraz 2017

The Winemaker’s Edition celebrates the elegance of Coonawarra’s cool climate Shiraz. The wine has been carefully selected and crafted by the team at Katnook and exhibits the complex characteristics of Coonawarra terroir and fruit, elegantly balanced through dedicated winemaking.


Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Wynns Black Label Cabernet is a true icon of Australian wine. First produced in 1954, it has a reputation for ageing gracefully and displaying excellent varietal and regional characteristics. The wine is produced from only the top quality 20 to 25 per cent of Cabernet Sauvignon fruit grown in our terra rossa vineyards. A wine of style and stature - and a perennial favourite in auction circles - ‘Black Label’ is one of Australia’s most collectable wines and Australia’s benchmark Cabernet Sauvignon. It consistently delivers potential for medium to long-term cellaring.


Shanahans The Old Dog Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

Sourced from a patchwork of vineyards in the north western side of the Barossa Valley. The Shiraz grapes were individually picked out in the vineyard for their exceptional quality, hence we allow the use of multiple sites to ensure optimum flavour profile. The grapes are picked and delivered to the winery and gently worked through the de-stemmer before being transferred to 2 and 4 tonne open fermenters. The juice is pumped over twice a day for seven days before draining and loading the basket press. The skins are then gently pressed for approximately 20 hours to retrieve more of the essence of the grape. After the wine has completed its malolactic ferment it is matured in new 15% and older 75% oak barrels for 12 months prior to bottling with minimal fining and filtration.


Clarendon Hills Bakers Gully Syrah 2012

This is Roman Bratasuik's entry level Shiraz intended for early drinking sourced from younger dry grown vines. Maturation takes place in French oak (85% new) for a period of 18 months.


Majella The Musician Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz 2018 

The Lynn family have been residents of the Penola - Coonawarra district for over four generations, starting out as Store-Keepers and then graduating into grazing. The property on which Majella now stands was originally owned by Frank Lynn and bought by his nephew, George, in 1960 for Merino wool production. Majella now has 61ha under vine and makes some of the finest wines in Coonawarra. 72% cabernet, 28% shiraz


Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Shiraz 2016

Fermented in stainless steel, small volume fermentors to maintain strong fruit flavour from skins. Hand plunged twice daily for seven days then transferred into American and French oak barrels for the remainder of ferment then spent 14 months to allow full flavour development.


The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

The vineyards that make up Explorateur are based in the northwestern Barossa Valley. This is a belt of land/terroir that runs from just to the northwest of Tanunda – Marananga, Greenock, Moppa, Ebenezer, and through to Stockwell, just north of Nuriootpa. Cropping levels are kept low to ensure fruit flavour is focus. The same equipment that is accorded to our more expensive wines is made available to Explorateur. Fermentation is French in approach for up to two thirds of the wine made; the rest is vinified in a more Australian way.


Redesdale Estate Heathcote Shiraz 2006

Overlooking the Campaspe River valley, visitors to Redesdale Estate Vineyard will enjoy the views and Mediterranean style gardens of this quaint restored bluestone dairy. Redesdale Estate’s vineyards are among the oldest in the cool climate southern part of the Heathcote wine region and are grown on old volcanic sendimentary rock and soils.

This rich soil contributes greatly to the intensity and varietal purity of their wines. Planted in 1982, all of Redesdale Estate’s grapes were once sold to a contract winemaker. It wasn’t until 1999 that the winery began producing their own wines. The 1999 Redesdale Estate Shiraz was the first vintage to be labelled under the Redesdale Estate label and was the first of many fine red wines made by their winemaker.

Producing estate grown red wines, Redesdale Estate handpicks their grapes with care. This ensures each bunch is in optimal condition when they begin the winemaking process. The wines are aged in new and one-year-old French oak, and further aged for two years in the bottle. The result is award winning wines that show great elegance.

Accolades & Awards:

Mount Langi Ghiran Billi Billi Shiraz 2017 Export Cork

93 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"The fragrant, floral red fruits and spice and pepper on the bouquet are joined by black pepper and licorice on the palate. Hard to resist at this price, very hard. No patience is required, it is ready now.""

91 Point Rated - James Suckling

"A bright and ripe shiraz that has abundant, pepper-laced blackberry and plum aromas with a fresh, zesty andintense core of fine and fresh tannin."

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

"Deepish red colour with a trace of purple, the bouquet shy, reserved, gently meaty-reductive and the palate lean and angular, with a hint of sweetness countered by firm, grippy tannins and acidity."

Christa Pickard - Wine Enthuasist Magazine 

"This cherry-hued cool-climate Shiraz takes awhile to open in glass, but with time it rewards, with aromas of earthy spice, warm stone minerals and black-cherry fruit. The palate is equally as tightly wound, with powerful dusty tannins, lifted acidity and tangy fruit. This needs plenty of air or another year or two in bottle, but it nevertheless offers excellent value for money."

Decanter World Wine Awards

"Earthy, spiced baked plum aromas, jammy black cherry and sweet oak palate."


Wynns Coonawarra Estate Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

97 Point Rated - Ray Jordan The West Australian

97 Point Rated & Top Ranked Cab Sauv - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"The colour is very deep, concentrated red/purple and the bouquet is a deep, brooding mix of blackberry violets, blueberry and blackcurrant. Perfect fruit ripeness. Oak is very background, and the palate is full-bodied and beautifully-structured, with the right amount of firmness in the tannins which run the full length of the palate and leave the finish cleansing and dry, the aftertaste refreshing and moreish. A superb wine and a classic of both variety and region. (The 63rd vintage of this wine)" 

96 Point Rated & Special Value Buy -  James Halliday Wine Companion

"One sip, you're in. Another seductive Black Label - its 63rd vintage - and it's a wow. Excellent vintage conditions have no doubt helped, but this Australian icon doesn't need a lot of assistance outside its trio of long-time 'curators': Sue Hodder, Allen Jenkins and Sarah Pidgeon. Masses of blackberry fruits, a touch of black olive savouriness, stewed rhubarb, violets. Casts a wide net across the palate with sustained black fruits and spice, but also notes of coffee grounds, bay leaf and vanilla. Oak enhances, yet keeps itself in the background."

96 Point Rated -  Andrew Caillard MW

"Medium deep crimson. Classical cassis cedar aromas with roasted hazelnut, herb-garden, espresso coffee notes. Supple, elegant and minerally with gentle pure blackcurrant fruits, underlying cedar, dried herbs, vanilla roasted chestnut oak, superb mid-palate inkiness and vigorous fine grainy tannins. In some ways understated and sotto voce but lovely clarity and composure. A very age-worthy style yet with immediate appeal"

95 Point Rated - Jeremy Oliver

"A pristine, stylish Coonawarra cabernet of medium to fullish weight. Scented with violets, cassis, mulberries, dark plums and fresh cedar/chocolate oak, it’s long, elegant and firmish, with a wonderful drive of sumptuous flavour tightly wound around a finely balanced, gravelly spine. Underpinned by a suggestion of mint, it’s just beginning to reveal some of the complexity it will certainly deliver over the very log term"

93 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer

"A legendary staple of every Australian cellar, the 63rd vintage of Wynns' beloved 'black label' contrasts the blackcurrant density of a warm summer with the fine-boned tannins and bright acid tension of long, slow autumn ripening. It's framed eloquently in French oak (21% new). Another classic for the long-term"


Shanahans The Old Dog Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

95 Point Rated - Melbourne International Wine Competition

94 Point Rated - Wine Showcase Magazine

"Elegant nose of dark plums and mulberries. Palate showing similar outstanding characters attractively layered with tobacco oak and spices."


Clarendon Hills Bakers Gully Syrah 2012

93 Point Rated - Jeremy Oliver 

"A rich, typically ripe Australian shiraz whose concentrated, confiture-like bouquet of cassis, blackberries, raspberries and blood plums has a meaty background of chocolatey oak, musky spice and a hint of raisin. It’s luscious and opulently flavoured, powerfully steeped in briary cassis, mulberry, blackberry and dark plum flavours, tightly knit with oak and reveals some leathery development. It finishes savoury, with a hint of licorice, dark olive and roasting pan."

92 Point Rated - Lisa Perrotti-Brown Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"Deep garnet/purple, the 2012 Syrah Bakers Gully reveals attractive cassis, blackberries, black cherries, earth, aged beef and game notes with cloves and tobacco hints. Full-bodied, rich and concentrated, the palate is packed with flavor and framed by firm, fine tannins through the long and meaty finish."

92 Point Rated - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"Excellent depth of colour. Mid- to full-bodied with tar, blackberry, dried herb and sweet redcurrant flavours. Choc-coffee notes have melted entirely into the fruit. Succulent. No problems drinking this now."


Jim Barry Lodge Hill Clare Valley Shiraz 2018

96 Points & Top 100 Wines of 2020 - James Halliday Wine Companion 

"A very impressive wine at this price: the colour deep and bright, the expressive bouquet with earthy/spicy nuances to black fruits. The medium-bodied palate has an extra level of depth aided by supple tannins and a twitch of oak. The value cannot be gainsaid."

95 Points Rated - Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2020

95 Points Rated - Clare Valley Wine Show 2020

91 Point Rated - Ralph Kyte-Powell The Real Review

"Deeply-coloured with plenty of extract, this smells immediately inviting, pure and aromatic, with less of the mint/eucalypt characters that sometimes mark shiraz from Clare. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and texturally attractive, with real length and succulent balance. Good value"

91 Point Rated - Gary Walsh The Wine Front

"Medium-bodied, and kind of crisp, but with ample flavour and a nice bit of tannin built in. Flavours are more into red fruits, with a flicker of mint and pepper, subtle spicy oak, and a fresh finish of good length. Stylish. A very good release of this wine."


Majella The Musician Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz 2018 

97 Point Rated - Winestate Magazine

95 Point Rated - National Wine Show of Australia 2019

95 Point Rated - Royal Melbourne Wine Show 2019

93 Point Rated - Campbell Mattinson Wine Companion 

"72% cabernet, 28% shiraz. It spends time in oak but the idea is that it show minimal oak flavour; designed to be light and elegant. Good colour, fragrance, texture and drinkability; the flavours flow evenly and well. Minted blackcurrant is the essential flavour profile, redcurrant and dust as sidelines. For everyday drinking it will take some beating."


The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2018

94 Point Rated - Wine Showcase Magazine

"Great nose of varietal fruit presence. Palate shows lovely oak spice and good length of chalky tannins and some nice tarry complexity."

Redesdale Estate Heathcote Shiraz 2006

95 Points - Huon Hooke The Real Review

"Deep, bold red colour with a good purple tint, showing slow rate of ageing. Rich, ripe aromas of chocolate and cocoa powder, background toasty roasted meat undertones, the palate full-bodied and rich, powerful and deeply-flavoured, with abundant tannins which are softening nicely. Dried herb nuances persist. It's drinking well now and has many years in front of it. There are still blackberry and dark plum fruit flavours aplenty."

94 Points - James Halliday Wine Companion

"Bright colour, a strong minerally character envelops dark fruits, sage and a touch of blueberry, medium bodied with vibrant acidity, well defined dark fruit and a little bay leaf on the palate; long, fine and supple on the finish. 

Ben Edwards

"Youthful in colour, and exuberant on the bouquet, combining black and red fruits, geranium, sage and a touch of crushed bracken; the palate is lively with focused acidity providing drive to the ample fruits on offer; fine lingering tannins complete picture with a long, succulent and surprisingly unevolved conclusion."

Jancis Robinson

"Spicy with lots of acidity and lots of mineral, the minerals shown on the label perhaps? Pretty good and racy and well balanced, though seriously mineral!"
