  2017 ‘The McRae Wood’ Shiraz, Jim Barry

  £3500

  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.

  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.

  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.

  The 2015 Chardonnay was sourced from Tolpuddle vineyard – a famous Chardonnay vineyard in Tasmania. It’s a cracker, with icing sugar-dusted apples, subtle vanilla spice and great clarity and drive of grapefruit, hints of bruised apple and this vineyard’s signature steely slate character.

  2019 Croft Chardonnay, Henschke

  £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. Intense and focussed, the palate shows layer upon layer of pear and white peach, tightly wound by a deliciously creamy texture, and perfectly balanced with nectarine acidity and subtle oak nuances, for a powerful yet elegantly restrained, lingering finish.

  Fifth-generation winemaker Stephen Henschke and his wife Prue purchased the Lenswood property in the Adelaide Hills in 1981. 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

  The 2021 ‘Ode to Lorraine’ is a masterful expression of Elderton’s philosophy of excellence through blending – a hidden gem within their premium red portfolio. Crafted from the finest estate-grown fruit on the historic Nuriootpa vineyard, this wine celebrates the harmony of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, and Merlot, sourced from vines dating back to 1894.

  In the glass, it shows a vibrant deep crimson hue, hinting at the richness within. The bouquet is layered and compelling, with brooding red and dark fruits, lifted by subtle notes of bay leaf and a whisper of earth. It is powerful yet elegant on the palate, revealing a rich tapestry of vibrant cassis, sweet spice of cinnamon and clove, and luxurious hints of dark chocolate. The fine, long tannins are beautifully integrated, bringing structure and grace, as they interplay seamlessly with the wine’s opulent fruit core.

  Matured for 20 months in a mix of new and seasoned French puncheons, this wine shows both richness and restraint, offering complexity now and the promise of remarkable evolution over time.

  A fitting tribute to the matriarch of the Ashmead family, ‘Ode to Lorraine’ is a bold, beautifully balanced wine that can be enjoyed now or confidently cellared for 15+ years.

  2022 Shiraz ‘Neil Ashmead Grand Tourer’, Elderton

  £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. This wine is a bold yet elegant expression of Shiraz, drawn from two distinctive vineyard sites: the historic Nuriootpa vineyard, planted in 1954, and the Greenock vineyard, established in 1980.

  In the glass, the nose is immediately expressive, brimming with aromas of fresh blueberry and ripe plum, underpinned by whispers of spice, vanilla bean, and a touch of graphite. On the palate, this Shiraz impresses with plush layers of juicy summer berry pudding, charcuterie spice, and a lively peppery zest that brings tension and brightness.

  There’s a wonderful harmony between power and finesse; its creamy mid-palate texture is framed by fine, powdery tannins that glide through to a long, poised finish. This vintage exemplifies the best of the Barossa: bold fruit character, structural integrity, and a sense of place. Enjoy now or cellar confidently for up to 10 years.
