A fragrant and opulent wine, with aromas of florals and spice. This vintage was low yielding but gave fruit with a powerful intensity. Rich boysenberry and cherry are met with notes of charcuterie and cooling spice, which carry on the palate through powdery tannins. There's great length to this fantastic Barossa Shiraz. We think it's the perfect way to treat yourself after a long day of valuing fine gems, or however it is you spend your days.

Michael Hall Sang de Pigeon Shiraz 2020

The Shaw + Smith Balhannah Vineyard was planted in 2005 and is one of their most prized vineyards. An elegant expression, peppery spice, mineral graphite, a little meaty edge, and firm structured tannins. Excellent in the decanter now and even better in years to come.

Shaw + Smith Balhannah Single Vineyard Shiraz 2019

Working in the pursuit of elegance, Ryan's wines seek to express the Australian landscape from which they come. Coming from an established photography career in Melbourne—where he was working with the same idea—he views the vines as receptors of their environment, waiting for their information to be extracted and bottled, each a time capsule of its time and place. Entropy wines celebrate the unique region that is West Gippsland, with thoughtful renditions that express this relatively unexplored region. Deliciously thought-provoking, these wines will stay on your mind long after your glass empties.

Entropy Syrah 2021

Sourced exclusively from the east-facing Block 12 vineyard, this is an elegant and poised example of Shiraz within the context of McLaren Vale's typical offerings. Light and floral aromas give way to blue fruits laced with notes of tobacco and green herbs. Give it time to unwind before dinner and a little sweetness mid-palate will reveal itself.

Yangarra Kings Wood Shiraz 2020

A light, perfumed style of Shiraz that sees 15% whole bunch, 85% whole berry in open concrete fermenters, hand plunged, basket pressed and aged for 4 months in neutral French oak barrels and concrete. Very much a Nouveau style, with that lovely carbonic edge and fine chalky tannin.

The Vinden Headcase Noveau Shiraz 2022

This is a dense, concentrated and meaty style of Shiraz, with blackcurrant pastilles, cured meat, crushed Mediterranean herbs and a hint of violet florals. The tannins are a little locked and firm upon opening, so be sure to give it a splash in the decanter before tucking in - or better yet, throw it in the cellar for a few years!

Jericho GSM 2020

This shows off the bright side of the Grampians region—it's a delicious blend of Grenache, Syrah and some very rare Mourvèdre from Moyston Hills, and is a lighter expression of the style than its SA counterparts. Easy drinking with a palate of dark fruits, long tannins and a little savoury reduction edge, try it with a chill when the weather warms and you won't be disappointed.

The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre 2021

Liquored cherries, sweet spiced plums and a little wholebunch sap freshness meet firmer tannins in this delicious Syrah out of Geelong. Lighter on the nose with an almost Pinot like aroma of cherry and floral rose, it's medium-full bodied with a sweet core of red fruits and we can't get enough.

Mulline Bannockburn Syrah 2021

Beyond the Glass Maggie Syrah 2021

Light to medium-bodied with some lovely salinity – think olive and little bacon. Dancing with red, black fruits, crushed rose, blackberry, lavender and a melange of spice. Conjures Rhône at a much lighter weight. A clear winner in the feather-weight class with just a whisper of tannin and a savoury herbal edge.

Stacks of red currant, damson plum, grenadine, peony, and rose petals are surrounded by a garden of sweet marjoram, anise and tarragon with cracked white pepper on top. It’s mid-weight with a subtle sweet core and the chalky, porous tannins perfectly spread and carry the flavour.
