Powell & Son Loechel Eden Valley Shiraz Powell & Son (first vintage 2014) is the venture of Barossa Valley legend Dave Powell and his son Callum. The Loechel Shiraz is sourced from a single vineyard at the southern tip of the Eden Valley township, above the Barossa Valley. It was planted in the early 1970s on granitic loam, at 400m. The vineyard has an easterly aspect and is steeply sloping, with excellent drainage and low yields, resulting in concentrated fruit and a rich, complex wine. The vineyard is picked in three passes and components are kept separate throughout vinification. Only about one-third makes it into the Loechel Shiraz. The wine typically shows generous dark ripe fruits -- blackberry, cherry liqueur and cassis -- supported by dark chocolate and mocha notes and subtle herbs and spice. The palate adds smoky, savoury and meaty notes and is medium to full-bodied, yet concentrated, so as to provide long and satisfying flavours and a long, persistent, structured finish.

Block 6 was hand-picked from the 125 year old vines on the 21st and 30th of March 2017, producing a healthy and clean crop of 11.37 tonnes. The grapes were crushed, de-stemmed and plunged twice daily while spending 11 days on skins in our traditional open fermenters. The wine was then basket pressed and matured for 20 months in 40% new French and American oak puncheons. Bottled in February 2019.

Giaconda rightfully deserves it's icon status as an exceptional wine producer and is much sought after by wine lovers and collectors the world over. Their Warner Shiraz is has all the Beechworth hallmarks of violets and charcuterie aromas and flavours with an obvious and firm tannin structure. Will develop superbly in the bottle for many, many years to come.

David and Jenny Jones are making wine with tremendous depth of fruit flavour, reflecting the relatively low-yielding but very well- maintained vineyards in The Pyrenees. Their flagship Dalwhinnie Eagle Shiraz is a perfect example of this. Pristine and fresh with more of everything providing plenty of stuffing, redcurrant, blackberry and sage characters.

Frux Frugis is Latin for fruit of the earth and is sourced from Old Vines from the finest parcels of Shiraz from the Ulithorne Vineyards. With a palate of plums, subtle spices, structural tannin and exceptionally long length, this vintage of Frux Frugis shows the reward which wonderful weather and well tended vines can bring to a wine.

Henschke have in recent years begun to identify and single out great quality parcels of Shiraz fruit that deserves to be bottled seperately and released as part of their Vineyard Selection. The Tappa Pass Shiraz is sourced from old low yielding Barossa vineyards that shows amazing depth and concentration. Rich, lush and intense it will develop further complexity with bottle age.

Oustanding cool-climate peppery Shiraz from a great vintage in Victoria. Full bodied, powerful and dense this wine is at its best now. Enjoy with meat dishes.

Immensely complex and powerful, this wine is from classic old vine Shiraz from the Barossa. Dense, concentrated fruit characters of blackberry and ripe plum are knotted around delicious vanillin oak.
