Domaine Belle Rouge
Swinney Farvie Syrah
J.L. chave SELECTION Farconnet
Hermitage Gambert de Loche
From one of the most renowned hills the world where Syrah is grown, this wine is classic northern Rhône with its raspberry and blackberry fruit characters, combined with touches of black pepper, smoky earth and minerality. Full bodied with firm tannins, with beautifully integrated oak from 19 months in new, French oak barrels.
Henschke Tappa Pass Shiraz
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.
Hardys Eileen Hardy Pinot Noir
Eileen Hardy was a pioneer of the Australian wine industry and the inspiration beind this iconic range of wines, including this inaugural release of a Pinot Noir. Unashamadely Burgudnian in style with a dedication to terroir which has seen fruit being harvested from both Victoria's Yarra Valley and Tasmania has seen a wine of not only purity and elegance, but one of power and richness.
Tommaso Bussola Amarone della Valpolicella Classico
Concentrated aromas and flavours of prunes, dried raisins, herbs and soil with a juicy palate, supple tannins and balanced acidy, this is a benchmark for the style.Regarded as one of the top producers in the Veneto, Tomaso Bussallo continually produces Amarone that ranks at the top by Italys fine wine guide, Gamberro Rosso.
Vasse Felix Tom Cullity Cabernet Malbec
Vasse Felix, Margaret River's founding wine estate, was established by Dr Thomas Brendan Cullity in 1967. Among his first plantings were Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec vines, from which he produced the estate's first red wine. The Tom Cullity descends from these original vines and represents the pinnacle of Vasse Felix. The inaugural release will be in May 2017, coinciding with Vasse Felix's 50th Anniversary.
Thomas Hardy Cabernet Sauvignon
Full red-purple; a potent, powerful cabernet, the focus on blackcurrant fruit, complexity provided by bay leaf/black olive/mint nuances; French oak is where is should be (on the shoulder of the fruit) and the tannins, while firm, hold no terrors.
Glaetzer AMON-Ra Shiraz
The Glaetzer family have been part of the Barossa winemaking scene since 1888 and now Ben takes over the reigns and produces Shiraz of the utmost intensity and concentration. Named after the ancient Egyptian god Amon-Ra who was the champion of the poor and troubled and was central to personal piety, the temple of Amon-Ra is believed to be the first to plant a vineyard to produce wine for the citizens of the temple. This incarnation is rich, full-bodied and viscous to the palate, yet with sublime oak integration and a balance on the back palate that is quite lifted allowing it to be paired with many meals and a prime candidate for medium to long term cellaring.
