Jim Brand The Remnants Coonawarra Shiraz
The Brand family story starts with the arrival of Eric Brand in Coonawarra in 1950. Today Brand & Sons is run by Sam Brand, the 4th generation of this family, which has played a major role in Coonawarra for over 70 years. This is a Coonawarra Shiraz of great acclaim and considerable complexity. "The 'Remnants' is a reference to the ancient sea bed that formed the hardened limestone seen throughout Coonawarra. Blackberry, dark cherry pit and elderberry. Hawthorn and kampot peppers. Nyon olive, sea moss and granite. There is a volcanic rock or mineral element that speaks on ancient seabed and time passing its a wine for those that like to ponder. Decant and its linear frame and perky acidity. Tannins are fine and silty. A very elegant drink". (Shanteh Wale, The Halliday Wine Companion).
DiGiorgio Head in the Clouds Tempranillo
An easy drinking style of wine perfect for our warm Australian climate. 2022 was a vintage with early ripening conditions which perfectly concentrated the flavours in the Tempranillo. Aged in older barrels, this wine can be enjoyed on any occasion. Perfect to pair with tapas.
DiGiorgio Head in the Clouds Montepulciano
A wine that is driven by the intense fresh fruit characters that are derived from the Montepulciano variety and can be enjoyed as a drink on its own but is robust enough to go with the richest of main courses. This wine is an expression of the versatility of our region and the ambition and passion of our winemakers. Try with rich authentic lasagne.
DiGiorgio Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon
