2019 Old Vines Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, Tahbilk
£3000

The old vines deliver a generous and expressive wine, with underlying elegance. Hints of bay leaf, mint and pepper weave seamlessly around dark berry, spice and plum fruits with herbal and cedar oak-derived complexity.

Tahbilk’s vineyards are grouped along the banks of the Goulburn River, a branch of it which flows through the estate. The vines are grown at around 134 metres elevation of gently undulating and flat terrain. The soils are sandy loam with ferric oxide content, which vary from very fine sand near the anabranch to denser loams on the plains. Tahbilk has Shiraz vineyards dating back from the 1860s to the 1990s. The oldest surviving block is the ‘1860 block’; planted on its own roots in sandy soils, which has made it impossible for phylloxera to colonise the vine roots.

2021 Bishop Shiraz, Glaetzer
£3195
Bishop is a true expression of Barossa Shiraz that is elegantly structured with a long finish.

Made from exceptional old vine fruit was sourced from the famed Ebenezer sub district at the northern tip of the Barossa Valley. These old vines are between 35-120 years old.

In the glass there is an explosion of brooding dark tones with bright cassis and coffee bean hints. The palate has a subtle richness with flavours of dark plum and blackberry intermingled with dark chocolate and dried spice. Generous yet restrained tannin provides exceptional palate length and persistence.

Peak Drinking: Great drinking now but this wine will also benefit from up to 10 – 15 years of careful cellaring.

Bishop is the family name of Colin’s wife’ Judith. Fittingly the sign of Venus, a symbol which has come to represent women and feminine energy, is the centrepiece of the Bishop label. In mythology, the symbol meant the Roman goddess Venus or her Greek equivalent Aphrodite. But the sign has also been linked back to ancient Egypt – a nod to Bishop’s link to Amon-Ra and Anaperenna.

2022 Local Growers Semillon, Rockford
£3300
Rockford Wines is one of Australia’s most cherished small producers, celebrated for its steadfast commitment to traditional winemaking techniques and the preservation of Barossa Valley’s rich viticultural heritage. Based in a heritage-listed stone winery in Krondorf, Rockford sources fruit from a trusted network of local growers, many of whom have worked with the winery for decades.

The Local Growers Semillon is a tribute to these longstanding partnerships and the Semillon grape itself, a historically significant but increasingly rare variety in the Barossa. While Semillon is often overlooked in favour of more fashionable whites, Rockford embraces its heritage, producing a wine of quiet confidence and superb ageing potential. Fruit is often picked early to preserve acidity and clarity, then vinified with a light touch to retain varietal expression and texture.

In the glass, it is fresh, focused, and unmistakably Barossan. It opens with lifted aromas of lemon blossom, green apple, lime zest, and a hint of beeswax. The palate is dry, crisp, and beautifully structured with flavours of citrus peel, white peach, and subtle herb notes that glide across a fine, chalky texture. A vibrant line of acidity adds drive and precision, finishing clean, savoury, and refreshingly long.

2021 The Florita Riesling, Jim Barry
£3350

Jim Barry’s iconic and outstanding single-vineyard Riesling, The Florita, stands tall at the top of the tree for Clare Valley Riesling.

Located fifteen kilometres south of Clare township in the tiny village of Watervale, Florita – Spanish for ‘little flower’ – comes from a famous Riesling vineyard planted to Palamino in 1946 for making Fino Sherry but was replanted to Riesling in 1962. This was the birthplace of Leo Buring Watervale Riesling and the Florita vineyards, where legendary winemaker John Vickery sourced his grapes for his great Watervale Rieslings of the 1960s and 1970s.

The 80-acre vineyard was bought by Mark, Peter and John Barry in 1986. First released as the ‘Florita Riesling’ in 2004 by Jim Barry Wines, this micro-batch Riesling is made from grapes hand-selected from individual rows. Its best fruit comes from vines planted in shallow loamy soils and the vineyard has good air-drainage which alleviates the risk of frost. A wine with a reputation second to none for consistency and a true benchmark wine.

The 2021 is a simply astonishing incarnation that Riesling lovers would be remiss to not have in their cellar. Drink 2027 – 2050 +

2019 Rosehill Shiraz, Mount Pleasant
£3795

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.

An elegant and refined Shiraz, with an abundance of raspberry and cranberry fruit layered with perfumed notes of violet, spice and plum. The red fruits drive through the palate with intensity and focus supported by subtle oak.

The Shiraz vines were planted in 1946 in a single vineyard plot named ‘Rosehill’. These low-yielding, old vines have deep and complex root systems. Maurice O’Shea purchased the land during World War II and the site is now regarded as one of the elite vineyards of the Hunter Valley. Once the site of volcanic activity, the Rosehill Vineyard is located at one of the Hunter Valley’s highest elevations. This 22-hectare parcel of volcanic loam soil, with patches of limestone and eroded basalt, is fertile and ideal for producing full-flavoured red grapes. O’Shea devoted it to solely planting Shiraz. The vineyard is cultivated using sustainable techniques, such as employing mulch to nourish the vines and growing cover crops to increase the biodiversity in the soil.

2017 ‘The McRae Wood’ Shiraz, Jim Barry
£3895
This Shiraz honours the vision of pioneer Clare Valley winemaker Jim Barry. In 1964, Jim purchased 28 hectares of prime land from Duncan McRae Wood and planted his first vineyard with Shiraz. It was an inspired choice of both grape variety and location.

This wine displays lovely red and purple tones in the glass. Red and purple fruits carry onto the palate supported by a rich, earthy undertone and fine silky tannins giving the wine terrific structure, great length and persistent flavour. Rich, vibrant aromas of blackcurrant and briary fruits with hints of vanillin oak and spice.

Made using the ‘Jim Barry’ method and as such can be enjoyed upon release, but would equally benefit from cellaring to allow the wine to show some mature characteristics that come with age.

2015 Chardonnay, Stargazer
£3950

Sam Connew, previously Chief Winemaker at the famous Wirra Wirra vineyards, said she would never start her own wine label.
Never.
She packed her bags and left the McLaren Vale to her home in the Hunter Valley. A couple of trips to Tassie later, and boom, Stargazer was born.
It is a labour of love for Sam, making small quantities of wine from small parcels of fruit, striving for individuality and quality.
Sams wines are beautiful, ethereal representations of the Apple Isle.

£3995
Seductive aromas of pear skin, grapefruit, white stone-fruit, citrus blossom and white flowers are complemented by hints of apple, lemon curd, clove spice and toasted almonds.

At 550 metres above sea level, the Lenswood vineyard offers not only magnificent views over the traditional vine country but also higher rainfall and humidity, cooler temperatures to retain high natural acidity, yet still enough sunshine to fully ripen the grapes. The chardonnay vineyard, which consists of seven clones, has taken its name from Frederick Croft, an orchardist who took up a neighbouring property in 1938.

£3995
Crafted in honour of Elderton co-founder Neil Ashmead, the 2022 Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer Shiraz is a tribute to the passion and pioneering spirit that helped shape the Barossa Valley into one of Australia’s premier wine regions.
