RWT is made from fruit primarily selected for its aromatic qualities and plush texture. The result is a wine that helps to redefine Barossa shiraz at the highest quality level. Built for the long haul, with the precision, concentration and balance to age for many years. Onyx, ruby rimmed colour. Floral and berry notes on the nose, with a palate of dark cherry and blackcurrant fruits affording viscosity and concentration. Peak drinking: 2025 - 2050.

Embark on a journey of red wine excellence with The Mosman, a remarkable tribute to the enduring legacy of Archibald Mosman (1799-1863), a visionary Scottish merchant and pastoralist. Like the man himself, this wine is a testament to his pursuit of perfection and entrepreneurial spirit. Just as Archibald Mosman transformed Sydney with his thriving business, The Mosman wine sets a new standard of excellence in the world of wines. Capturing the essence of this visionary figure, The Mosman boasts a dark mahogany red hue that echoes his bold and daring approach to life. Its nose is a symphony of aromas, densely concentrated with notes of sweet coconut oak, molasses, and dehydrated plums. This aromatic experience is a testament to the wine's youthful vitality and the rich journey it offers to all who partake. This red wine is an experience of contrasts, much like Archibald Mosman's journey. Its palate delivers a chunky, velvety, and warm mouthfeel that envelopes the senses in a wild ride of concentrated flavors. The alcohol warmth, reminiscent of the passion that fueled Mosman's ambitions, adds to the wine's overall appeal, creating a harmonious balance that lingers on the palate. A testament to longevity, The Mosman is approachable now yet promises to mature gracefully over the next decade, echoing Archibald Mosman's lasting influence. As he thrived in various ventures, from business to pastoralism, this wine thrives when paired with equally robust flavors. Indulge in its magnificence alongside roast game meat, Wagyu steak, or a hearty casserole, and experience the culmination of flavors that pay homage to the man who redefined success.

The intensely perfumed, sumptuous and seductive Brokenwood Graveyard articulates the very best of Hunter Shiraz. It is arguably the Hunter Valley's greatest red wine of the contemporary era. The east-facing Graveyard vineyard, first planted out in 1968, was once earmarked in 1882 as the Pokolbin cemetery but this did not eventuate.Young elemental Graveyard typically shows ginger bread, blackberry aniseed fruit, plenty of savoury oak and floral herb garden notes. The opulent gamey French polish characters develop with time bringing a rich palimpsest of aromas and flavours.

Powell & Son Kraehe Marananga Shiraz, Barossa Valley Powell & Son (first vintage 2014) is the venture of Barossa Valley legend Dave Powell and his son Callum. The Kraehe vineyard is at 235m with eastern exposure on Maranangas ironstone ridge. Its soils are red, ironstone-rich clays. The wine is aged for two years in so-called Magic Casks, French oak barrels with staves double the normal thickness. Kraehe is the epitome of Barossa Valley Shiraz -- rich and generous in fruit: plum, dark cherry and blackberry, with smooth, powerful tannins and a mouth-coating palate. The style is intense, opulent and concentrated. Kraehe Marananga Shiraz typically shows blueberry and plum fruits, attractive oak characters and great complexity -- ground coffee and mocha, meat, earth and dried herbs. The palate has layers of flavour -- blackberry compote and kirsch liqueur, wood smoke, cured meats and black olive -- through to the long finish.

There are minuscule volumes produced of the Cirsion by Bodegas Roda (the name of the thistle which is Roda's logo) which is made from grapes specially selected for the suppleness of the tannins they deliver. Parcels selected are from low-yielding older Tempranillo vines of 45 years and more, from four vineyards. Choosing the plants with the softest tannins, this makes the wine very attractive and supple early on, but it still has great ageing potential.

This Premier Cru wine comes off a small plot of old vines on the Les Boudots 1er Cru vineyard in Nuits-St-Georges. Firm and robust, with distinct blackberry fruits and earthy nuances the wines pronounced slightly rustic tannins, lend it the structure to age gracefully for up to two decades.
