  2010 Barbera La Court Vigna Veja Nizza, Michele Chiarlo

  £7350

  This fascinating vineyard is located at the top of the highest hill of the La Court estate and has an exposure of 360 degrees surface area of the vineyard.  Set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site the vineyard that the grapes for this wine came from is only 1 hectare in size and was planted in 1964 so production is very limited and only in the best years.

  2010 was one such year producing an intense and concentrated Barbera.   The nose is elegant yet complex with notes of black fruits, black cherry, wild flowers and sweet spices.  These flavours flow into the palate which is like velvet, silky and fresh.  The classic Barbera acidity is integrated and allows the cassis and black fruit flavours to shine.   The finish is long and persistent.  This wine will improve and last for many years.   Drink now to 2035.

  This is great wine for Agnolotti with a roasted meat sauce, tagliolini with porcini, braised lamb and well-matured cheeses.

  The label for this special Riserva was created by Ugo Nespolo, one of the greatest exponents of Italian Pop Art.

  2015 The Paringa Chardonnay, Paringa Estate

  £7500

  The Paringa Chardonnay is the estates top chardonnay wine and a single vineyard wine.

  The bouquet has a complex floral lift of citrus and stone fruit, with some delicate lees aromas. Cool climate white fleshy stone fruits, citrus notes and savoury nutty oak flavours characterise the palate. This Chardonnay has a round, textured palate harmoniously balanced by a fine natural acidity that leads to a long, persistent finish.

  The name ‘The Paringa’ denotes the single-vineyard origin of this wine. Lindsay McCall planted the first vines on the Paringa Estate vineyard in 1985, with ten acres being under vine by 1990. From this site fruit of distinction is born from a combination of red volcanic (Ferrasol) soil, a north-facing aspect and altitude of 146m on Paringa Road, Red Hill South. In creating this wine viticulture and winemaking practices are approached with the intent of preserving a pure expression of the site from the soil through to bottle.

  2017 The Old Bloke and The Three Young Blonds, d’Arenberg

  £7500

  A mix of gnarly, old Shiraz partnered with youthful, exotic and fragrant white varieties. The Shiraz offers a nose brimming with dark, earthen fruits, woody spices and rich blackberry aromas. Viognier adds fragrance in the form of apricot, ginger and florals, Roussanne delivers an exotic, dried almond and papaya note, and the Marsanne contributes pistachio and yellow stonefruit.

  The palate is generous, with layers of fruit characters that ebb and flow through the entire length. The tannin structure is unique, thanks to the mingling of red and white phenolics. The rustic, chunky, mid-palate Shiraz tannins are tempered by the lusciousness of the white varieties, the finish enhanced by the addition of fragrant, flowery tannins, mainly on account of the Viognier and more nutty, walnut skin texture, from the Roussanne.

  A complex and alluring wine that evolves in the glass. So much individual character and much to take in, but somehow we are left with a sense of harmony between the old bloke and the three young blondes.

  2019 Aroha Pinot Noir, Craggy Range

  £7500

  A savoury Pinot Noir with chanterelle mushroom and white truffle aromas leading to a lively, pure and beautifully balanced palate with a concentrated core of red fruit.

  Aroha, a term of endearment in the Māori language of New Zealand, carries the profound essence of love. In perfect alignment with its evocative namesake, Aroha is a labor of love, meticulously handcrafted from the union of two exceptional parcels of Pinot Noir, one of which is graced by the legendary Abel clone.

  These grapes are nurtured on the slopes of an elevated terrace within the Te Muna Road vineyard, where an ancient, long-dry riverbed once wove its course. In its wake, it left behind soil teeming with the richness and nutrients ideal for the cultivation of Pinot Noir. This terroir, imbued with history and character, serves as the cradle of Aroha’s distinct and captivating flavors.

Sourced exclusively from a single block of the Nuriootpa estate, planted in 1894 and classed as an Ancestor Vineyard under the Barossa Old Vine Charter, this wine represents over a century of viticultural excellence and family legacy.

  Crafted by the second generation of the Ashmead family, Allister and Cameron, this iconic Shiraz continues the vision set by their parents – to produce one of the great wines of the world. Since its first release in 1984, Command has garnered a reputation as one of Australia’s most celebrated and collectable Shiraz wines.

  In the glass, the nose is rich and brooding, layered with dark, concentrated fruits and lifted by intriguing notes of roasted coffee bean. On the palate, plush flavours of spiced plums and cloves unfold, supported by a fine seam of black forest character. Bold, yet beautifully poised, the tannin structure is firm but polished, carrying the wine to a seamless, long finish underscored by remarkable fruit purity and complexity.

  This vintage is poised for longevity, with the structure and depth to evolve gracefully over the next 15 to 20 years. While already impressive in its youth, it will reward careful cellaring, unfolding further nuance and finesse with time. A truly remarkable wine that captures the soul of its historic vineyard and the enduring spirit of the Elderton estate.

  2012 3D Pinot Noir, Clifton Brewer

  £7950

  This is an outstanding Pinot Noir from the renowned Brewer-Clifton.  The 3D vineyard is nestled between Lafond and Ampelos in the Santa Rita Hills and was the first vineyard planted by the Greg Brewer and Steve Clifton in 2007.     It is pure and elegant on the nose with expressive aromas of red cherries, candied raspberry and strawberry.  The palate is expansive with flavours of sweet fruits, tea leaf and fine spices.  Lovely structure and precision here. Incredible finesse and purity.

  At Brewer Clifton they strive to remove the winemaker’s signature, allowing the voice of the vineyard to be the overriding expression.  Only neutral barrels are employed and they strive for whole cluster fermentation, interestingly the fruit from each vineyard is handled identically from harvest to bottling, allowing the true essence of each site to be expressed.

  They also farm with a focus of ripening the stems of the bunch alongside the fruit, allowing the cluster to be in harmony. Working with the stems allows for wines that are structured, earthy and balanced with the exceptional Santa Rita Hills fruit. The analogy they use is roasting fish or meat on the bone, the bone offers complex flavours very different than taking it off of the bone to cook it.
