  • 2018 The Love Grass Shiraz, d’Arenberg Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2018 The Love Grass Shiraz, d’Arenberg

    £1595

    The Love Grass 2020 is a Shiraz straight from the d’Arenberg playbook. As a young wine when first opened, it may appear closed, dark and brooding. Tar, earth and black liquorice. Air and time both help to massage out the abundant sweet fruits, blackberry and plum with an undertone of fennel and spice. In a similar way, the palate starts quite muscular and tight but over time relaxes into a more generous juicy wine. As the juicy fruit evolves the initially rustic tannins start to settle into it like sinking into a plush armchair. The strong earth characters are a nod to the organic and biodynamic principles adopted in the vineyard. The character of the fruit is gently supported, rather than dominated, by savoury old oak barrels. All in all, this is a structural wine that over-delivers at the price point and will certainly benefit from decanting whilst rewarding those with the patience to cellar it well for 5 to 10 years

    Lovegrass is a weed that grows in the vineyards and its sticky flowers affectionately attach themselves to vineyard workers’ socks. This Shiraz will linger with you in the same way that the flowers do!

  • 2019 ‘Bull Ant’ Cabernet Merlot, Lake BreezeRed Wine

    2019 ‘Bull Ant’ Cabernet Merlot, Lake Breeze

    £1595

    The playful label was inspired by the bullants which are known to harass vineyard workers.

    The grapes for this wine were selected from old vines in the famous wine district of Langhorne Creek.  It has an amazing lifted bouquet of blackberries with a touch of mocha. The ageing in oak for 15 months has enhanced the mouth-feel of this wine, which is rich and smooth and offers a lovely soft finish with polished tannins.
    Best consumed over the next 3-4 years and will drink even more dangerously paired with roast lamb.

  • 2020 Faith Shiraz, St HallettRed Wine

    2020 Faith Shiraz, St Hallett

    £1600

    Faith Shiraz has become a contemporary classic and a crowd favourite since its first vintage in 1994.  This 2020 is on form and a beautiful Barossa Valley Shiraz that delivers on every level and has that wonderful quality that as soon as you have finished the first sip you are reaching for another! Aromas of vibrant dark cherry and raspberry with underlying spice and chocolate fill the nose and these red fruits carry through to the palate with a generous juicy opening. This flows into textural territory with smooth, subtle tannins and lingering spice providing a long finish. The Shiraz was aged in French and American oak barrels for 16 months.

    Delicious!

  • 2020 The Dry Dam Riesling, d’ArenbergWhite Wine

    2020 The Dry Dam Riesling, d’Arenberg

    £1650

    The Dry Dam Riesling 2020 has a delightfully lifted nose, loaded with lemons, limes, jasmine and Granny Smith. The palate displays a wonderful balance between acid and sweetness, giving that Dry Dam hallmark of sherbet-like character. Full of flavour yet pristine and refined. Drinks perfectly well young but promises to age well, developing toasty, marmalade notes for beyond a decade.

    The Name. : In 1992 d’Arenberg’s neighbours built a dam that remained empty, as it was a dry winter. The next year it rained but the dam was jinxed and didn’t hold water. A dry dam was bad news for d’Arenberg’s neighbouring farmers but promises good results for their old, dry-grown, low-yielding vines.

  • 2018 Footbolt Shiraz, d’Arenberg Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2018 Footbolt Shiraz, d’Arenberg

    £1650

    This delicious highly regarded shiraz is named after Footbolt, the prize racehorse of Joseph Osborn.  In 1912 Joseph sold his beloved horses to purchase the d’Arenberg property and so the wine making story began.

    In the glass, this 2018 Shiraz has a lifted, aromatic nose with luscious plum and red berry aromas. The palate is soft and cuddly and concludes with some firm tannin and acidity.  There are flavours of mulberry, pomegranate, dried herbs and earth, with a finish that is a little wild and rustic.

    2020 ‘Bull Ant’ Shiraz, Lake Breeze

    £1650

    The playful label was inspired by the bullants which are known to harass vineyard workers.  This 2020 vintage is a ripe, full-bodied wine that has benefited from 15 months of oak maturation. It shows aromas reminiscent of plums and chocolate with a touch of earthy complexity.  The palate is rich and full of black fruits and has a long soft finish.

    A wine that could partner a cheese plate equally as well as a rare fillet steak. It is drinking well now but will age gracefully for the remainder of this decade.

  • 2021 The Money Spider Organic Roussanne, d’Arenberg Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2021 The Money Spider Organic Roussanne, d’Arenberg

    £1695

    There’s a real ‘standing in a field during spring’ vibe to this wine. Lots of golden sunshine, cut-straw, and yellow peach flavours. It’s round, and generous, with substantial palate weight and mouthfeel. It’s rich, toasty, and opulent.

    The name of the wine originates from the fact that the first crop of Roussanne from the 2000 vintage was covered in tiny ‘Money Spiders’. Popular belief is that kindness to these creatures will bring good luck, so Chester refrained from sending the spiders to their death. By the next year, the Money Spiders had relocated, making the first release of this wine in 2001.

  • 2014 Vermentino, Chalmers Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2014 Vermentino, Chalmers

    £1750

    Chalmers make incredible characterful wines from Mediterranean grape varieties that they have imported, cultivated in vineyards in Heathcote, Victoria.   They released Australia’s first Vermentino wine in 2004 and it’s since become a trademark line in the range, their ‘go-to’ white. There are now more than 100 winemakers working with the grape across Australia and it’s no wonder when it loves the sunshine and makes such delicious wines with ultimate drinkability.

    Chalmers Vermentino is a truly unique iteration of the Mediterranean grape and this 2014 vintage marks a decade of Vermentino in Australia.  It opens in the glass with aromas of soft stonefruit, herbs and sea spray that is so distinctive to the Vermentino grape.  The palate is lively and racy with lovely savoury overtones. Think white nectarine, Amalfi lemons, Italian herbs and a crushed rock minerality as well as that gorgeous sea saltiness associated with the grape.   We love this wine at WR!

    The grapes come from the Chalmers vineyard in Heathcote and are grown on rich, red Cambrian soil, sitting 150-170m above sea level. The grapes are handpicked, whole bunch pressed with wild fermentation before the wine sits on less for 6 months.

  • 2018 Shiraz `Field Street`, S.C. PannellRed Wine

    2018 Shiraz `Field Street`, S.C. Pannell

    £1775

    The Field Street Shiraz is made from fruit sourced from vineyards that surround the estate’s Oliver Road home. In every sense, this wine is at the heart of the S.C. Pannell label. This wine is stripped back from the artifice of winemaking to express the purity and breadth of McLaren Vale Shiraz.  On the nose there is a lovely purity of fruit, aromas of violets are coupled with the beautiful perfume of a punnet full of fresh berries. The palate is medium-bodied, velvety and plush, with lovely, earthy tannins and a lifted finish.

  • 2017 Philip Shiraz, Mount PleasantRed Wine

    2017 Philip Shiraz, Mount Pleasant

    £1795

    Mount Pleasant, based in the Hunter Valley, was established in 1921 by the legendary winemaker Maurice O’Shea, from 16.3 hectares of adjoining parcels of land, which he named Mount Pleasant.

Made in an authentic Hunter Shiraz style, this complex wine is crafted from small parcels cultivated in the premium subregion of Pokolbin in the Hunter Valley.

    Ample notes of fresh red and black berried fruits, subtle oak spice and hints of blueberry lead to a beautifully balanced palate with finely woven tannins and impeccable length.

  • 2017 White Label Chardonnay, Petaluma Wine Republic Heros White Wine

    2017 White Label Chardonnay, Petaluma

    £1850

    The 2017 Petaluma White Label Chardonnay is a bright, fruit-forward wine. Subtle stone fruits and citrus on the nose combine with lovely creaminess and ripe melon on the palate. Subtle oak frames lovely Adelaide Hills acidity. A complex creamy-textured fruit-driven wine, typical of the modern cool-climate Australian Chardonnay style. Mouth-filling and complex now, it will reward medium term cellaring, filling out in the bottle.

    The White Label range is crafted in the same Petaluma philosophy as the highly regarded Yellow Label. The grapes are grown in the key regions of Adelaide Hills (Chardonnay) and Coonawarra (Cabernet). These wines are perfect to enjoy upon their release and get better with 5-7 years of age.  Great highly drinkable wines for occasions with friends, family and food!

  • 2014 Coralinga Sauvignon Blanc, HenschkeWhite Wine

    2014 Coralinga Sauvignon Blanc, Henschke

    £1895

    This Sauvignon Blanc is a tribute to the historic Coralinga homestead and apple orchard that was destroyed by bushfires in the early 1900s. The homestead was situated close by Henschke’s Lenswood property in the heart of the South Mount Lofty Ranges. 2014 was an exceptional vintage with the wine displaying a fragrant and lifted bouquet of citrus blossom, citrus fruits, gooseberry and tropical fruits with notes of anise, white pepper and fresh tarragon.  The fresh and vibrant palate shows concentrated citrus and stone-fruit flavours, with pure acidity and balance for a crisp, fine and long finish.

    Henschke recommend cellaring this for 5 years plus – so it is at its peak now!
