  2021 Barossa Shiraz, Elderton

  £2695

  The 2021 Barossa Shiraz from Elderton is a bold and expressive celebration of one of Australia’s most iconic wine styles, shaped by the unique character of the Barossa Valley’s diverse terroir. Grapes are sourced from the estate’s three distinct vineyard sites, Greenock, Nuriootpa, and Craneford.  Each parcel contributes its own signature to the final blend, resulting in a wine of exceptional depth, energy, and balance.

  The 2021 vintage was a standout year in the Barossa, and this Shiraz reflects its excellence with stunning clarity. In the glass, it opens with alluring aromas of red liquorice, spiced plum, and a whisper of earthiness. On the palate, a core of vibrant red fruits is layered with gamey undertones and lifted by a touch of clove spice, adding intrigue and complexity.

  The Greenock fruit brings a vivid bouquet and punchy tannins, while Nuriootpa contributes plush texture and sweet-spiced fruit. From Craneford, higher elevation and leaner soils add freshness and finesse. The result is a Shiraz with juicy, finely structured tannins, a seamless mid-palate, and a long, spice-laced finish.

  Rich yet poised, this wine is a powerful expression of Elderton’s craft and the Barossa’s world-renowned Shiraz pedigree – ready to impress now, with the structure to reward cellaring for 10 years.

  2016 Tinta Barocca, Momento

  £2750

  Cherries, cassis, roses and cinnamon joined by porcini mushroom and soy make this an alluring and complex nose added to by the ripe phenolic grip and textured coating palate. The balance between lifted and bright primary red fruit notes and that savoury gravitas mimics high-end Pinot Noir. Tightly wound and complex, this wine can age beyond 2025.

  This wine is a tribute to all old vine Tinta Baroccas of South Africa, which for a long time have supported some beautifully fine ‘red blends’ but seldom got the recognition they deserve. A blend of three special vineyards all aged over 40 years – of origin Bot River, Stellenbosch and Swartland – grown on a soil combination of Bokkeveld shale, decomposed granite and clay.

  2014 ‘Cariñena’ Huaso de Sauzal, Bodegas El Viejo Almacén de Sauzal

  £2750

  Renan Cancino is one of Chile’s most sought-after viticulturists, and while he has made his name for tending vines, his wine production under the Huaso de Sauza brand is also turning heads. Cancino is a natural winemaker whose philosophy is making wines how they were always made historically in Chile – naked. Everything is done the traditional way here: vines are worked by hand, the vineyards are worked by draft horse, and there has never been any use of irrigation or chemicals.

  Cariñena is made from Carignan grafted onto free-standing País rootstock on granitic soils in the town of Sauzal.  Cariñena is a rustic wine with expressive aromas of violet, rose petal, oak, smoke and mushroom.  The palate is brimming with flavours of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, liquorice and anise.   The finish is mouthwatering, like a mountain breeze!

  “I have never seen such an artisanal and true to tradition way of making wines. The nose is a clean, focused and pure expression of the grape, with the violets and earthy, slightly rustic aromas. No sulfur is ever used at the winery, yet the wines are so clean and pure that it’s hard to believe. The palate is medium-bodied with some earthy, slightly grainy tannins and with great acidity. This is more serious, closed than the Garnacha, but at a similar, very high-quality level. Simply unbelievable. 5,000 bottles produced.”  93 Luis Gutierrez – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate

  2022 Amativo, Cantele

  £2795

  While Cantele’s approach to grape growing and winemaking is rooted in the traditions of Salento viticulture, it doesn’t mean that the current generation of the Cantele family doesn’t continue to experiment and push the boundaries of southern Italian winemaking.

  One of its most critically acclaimed projects has been AMATIVO, a wine made from a blend of two of Puglia’s most important red grape varieties: Negroamaro and Primitivo. And the name of the wine, like the blend, is a composite of the grapes that go into it: AMA from the amaro in Negroamaro and TIVO from Primitivo.

  An “international-style” wine created by blending two native grapes from Puglia, the flavour profile of this cuvée gets its earthiness from the Negroamaro and its rich fruit character from the Primitivo. While the Negroamaro imparts freshness and just the right amount of tannic structure, the Primitivo gives the wine balance through its rich red fruit flavour.
