The warm and dry 2017 vintage allowed perfectly ripe fruit to be harvested. The red plum and black cherry aromas lead to a fruit driven and softly textured palate with background vanillin and spice from oak barrel maturation.

Not many wineries encompass the Aussie spirit quite like Mount Pleasant. Established by Maurice O'Shea in 1921, they are the definition of resilience, strong connection to the land and hard work. The Hunter Valley shines in 2018 and shiraz is the vehicle in which we can best enjoy this beautiful wine growing region. Perfectly balance and intense, this wine is dying for some BBQ meats, a big steak or a hearty stew and will drink amazingly now and into the future, just make sure you've got enough stashed away because when a great vintage like this rolls around, the wines always disappear — buy up.

Dalwood Estate Shiraz is from the rich red soils of the Hunter Valley. Current vintage was warm and dry with low yielding and concentrated fruit. Deeply coloured with red fruits and spice followed by a seamless palate with well integrated oak.

"Nothing But Grapes" or as we like to call it "Naturally Bloody Good" Vintage 2021, the always long awaited Nothing But Grapes! NO added preservative (sulphur 220) NO added "designer" yeasts (fermented using wild vineyard yeast) NO added yeast nutrients or settling enzymes NO added bacteria for malolactic fermentation NO fining agents used.

This Shiraz Pinot red blend from the Hunter Valley was made from hand harvested grapes, and then whole berry fermented without stalks. The fruit flavours have been enhanced by gentle winemaking techniques. Aged for just 3 months in old French oak, this results in a medium bodied wine with flavours of mulberries, plums and cherries, and soft sweet tannins.

This wine is medium bodied, brightly coloured with an array of berries pepper and spices on the nose combined with coffee aromas. The palate is soft and long with distinctly savoury characters, finishing with velvet tannins. It is a delicate wine, focused on balance and structure.

These grapes were grown using Biodynamic practices and are Certified with the ACO. The wine was fermented naturally using wild yeast living in the vineyard. The wine was basket pressed and matured in small oak barrels for 12 months. The wine exhibits a ripe berry bouquet with a hint of white pepper on the palate. This wine will become well integrated and more complex with extended cellaring.

A beautifully juicy and spicy modern Hunter Valley Shiraz with fruit taking centre stage rather than oak.
