  • 2017  The Ironstone Pressings GSM, d’Arenberg Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2017 The Ironstone Pressings GSM, d’Arenberg

    £3750

    The Ironstone Pressings is named because most of McLaren Vale’s acclaimed and historic vineyards are impregnated with ancient, decomposed laterite granite known as ironstone. Its extraordinary rusty red-brown colour is derived from the iron oxides present in the stone. The larger pieces were cleared from the vineyards in the late 1880s and utilised in many of the buildings at d’Arenberg, most notably the old stables.

    The 2017 vintage is an aromatic wonder, initially, the nose is dominated by fragrant red fruits over spices and liquorice/earthy notes. As it breathes more obvious notes of loganberries, cranberry and mulberry fruits with maraschino cherry, dark chocolate and intense plum notes. There is an impressive background of fine-grain, cedary oak notes.  The palate is immense and beautifully structured with complex layers of exotic fruit flavours mixed with silky fine acidity. The mineral edged tannins are superb, almost elegant. Ripe red-fleshed cherries and dark ripe plums, spice and bell peppers are mixed with summer flowers. Dried herbs such as jasmine & lavender linger on and on; the finish has excellent intensity. Let it sit in a decanter and a continuous stream of characters will evolve.

    While enjoyable in youth, this wine will reach its full potential with bottle age up to at least 20 years. The considerable structure and depth will ensure that the fruit characters will develop over time revealing more complexity and providing immense interest.

  • 2019 Rosehill Shiraz, Mount PleasantRed Wine

    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.

    2013 The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon & Shiraz, Yalumba

    £3950

    Launched in 1962, The Signature is a rich, complex and generous 100% Barossa Cabernet & Shiraz blend that is uniquely Australian – a contract between the world’s wine lovers and Yalumba’s winemakers, signed with the name of a true believer.

    This is the 55th iteration of The Signature – a superb 2013 vintage that honours Andrew Murphy.  It has outstanding colour in the glass displaying a saturated inky black core with a very deep dark purple black hue.  Aromas of perfectly ripened blackcurrant mingle with hints of liquorice and blackberries over a backdrop of subtle tobacco, earthy vanillin cedar and spice.   The palate is awash with blackcurrant fruit that sits alongside inky blackberry and traces of liquorice tightly wrapped up in a sturdy firmly built structure that bodes well for long term cellaring. Nuances of earthy vanillin cedar, faint tobacco and spice are also present on the back palate. Firm yet refined tannins. Excellent depth of fruit with a long ripe blackcurrant, inky blackberry, liquorice, earthy vanillin cedar and spice aftertaste.

  • 2018 Shiraz, Tahbilk *Magnum*Red Wine

    2018 Shiraz, Tahbilk *Magnum*

    £4000

    Tahbilk Shiraz is sourced from nearly 30 hectares of vines planted at various times from the 1930s through the early 2000s. Made using traditional Tahbilk techniques; fermentation takes place in 150 + year old open vats, before maturation in French and American oak for 18 months before bottling. The resultant releases are noted as being fruit-driven wines of much flavour and substance, proven over the years to develop added character when cellared. Varietally expressive with ample plum and blackberry fruits, there is warm earth and spicy savouriness that immediately appeals with a backbone of fine, opulent tannins and a rich, persistent finish.

    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.

  • 2008 ‘La Ciornia’ Shiraz, La ViolettaRed Wine

    2008 ‘La Ciornia’ Shiraz, La Violetta

    £4500

    The inspiration for La Ciornia comes from Andrew Hoadley time spent working in Barbaresco.    Really refined bright, the aromatic nose showing sweet, pure raspberry and cherry fruit with subtle hints of meat, olive and spice. The palate is superbly elegant with pure, seamless, beautifully poised cherry and raspberry fruit. Lovely elegance and freshness   I think Matthew Jukes summed it up best for me when be said of Ciornia “I certainly had no idea that a Shiraz from Denmark could have Pinot Noir tenderness under its malevolent, vampiric exterior.”

  • 2008 Shiraz ‘Westgate Vineyard’, The StoryRed Wine

    2008 Shiraz ‘Westgate Vineyard’, The Story

    £4500

    This is a single vineyard wine made (in the winemaker’s words) ‘naturally fermented over 21 days in open French oak puncheons, then hand bucketed and pressed to 31% new French oak from Francois Frères, and Gillet cooperages. It was allowed to mature for 14 months (then bottled) without fining or filtration’.   The result – very floral Shiraz characters such as violets, graphite, meat, black fruits and black pepper.  The palate is full of warm spice synonymous with the Grampians region. A dark, ripe, controlled and firm core of black fruit and spice ripples through the palate, the tannins are generous but supportive, and the finish fresh and lengthy.

  • 2016 ‘GSM’ Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Benevolent NeglectRed Wine

The palate is sumptuous, plump and satisfying while retaining restraint, the oak beautifully integrated and suggested as a slight lick of caramel on the lengthy finish, which is all framed by restrained tannins and a lingering, mouthwatering finish of red fruits and savoury game. The guys from Benevolent make delicious, unique wines with soul.

  • 2018 Moppa Springs Grenache-Mataro-Shiraz, Rockford Wine Republic Heros Red Wine

    2018 Moppa Springs Grenache-Mataro-Shiraz, Rockford

    £4500

    A stupendous blend of Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz is elegant and restrained with a subtle note of vanilla and pretty floral notes.  The Grenache supplies tangy sour cherry to this blend whilst Mataro offers a savoury cocoa note and Shiraz holds it all together with a backbone of fine tannins and a touch of brambly fruit.

    Moppa Springs, Ebenezer, and Kalimna, are some of the driest areas in the Barossa. This hard country is cold, wet and frosty during pruning, then hot, dry and dusty during harvest. These are the kind of tough conditions that ensure Grenache, Mataro, and Shiraz give their best.

    The grapes are hand-forked into Rockford’s famed 1880’s Bagshaw de-stemmer, open-fermented and then gently basket pressed. All of the components for Moppa Springs are aged separately in a combination of seasoned American and French oak hogsheads and large vats to allow the tannins to soften and colours and flavours to consolidate.
