Bold and full-bodied, Shiraz delivers rich dark fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, and black cherry, layered with black pepper, clove, and subtle smoke. Firm tannins and a velvety texture give it real structure, often rounded out by notes of chocolate and vanilla from oak ageing. A versatile pairing partner for grilled meats and hearty dishes, it's one of Australia's most planted red varieties

Good things come in small packages and that applies to wineries too. Adelina, a small-batch producer from Springfarm, a sub-region of Clare, fits the bill perfectly. It’s owned and run by winemakers and science boffins, Jen Gardner and Col McBryde, of Some Young Punks fame, who have combined their love of Italian wine varietals with the intricacies of science to create a small and impressive portfolio of wines.

Established Shiraz, Grenache and Pedro Ximenez vines grow alongside younger plantings of Shiraz and Mataro, with biodynamic principles applied to all estate grown fruit. Jen and Col also bring in fruit from a select group of Clare and Adelaide Hills growers for their non-estate range which includes an Arneis, Riesling, Nebbiolo and Shiraz Mataro

Situated in the Mid North of South Australia, approximately 120 km north of Adelaide is one of Australia's oldest wine regions the Clare Valley. The area is broken up into three sub-regions, the Polish Hill River region to the east, the Central Clare Valley, and the Skillogalee Valley to the west.

Often associated with some of Australia's finest Riesling the cool climate and differing terroirs have paved the way for exciting and diverse wines over a plethora of varietals resulting in wines of pure expression and great length. Home to some of Australia's most iconic wineries - cult producers like Wendouree, to Australian icons such as Kilikanoon and boutique producers like Atlas, the Clare Valley is definitely an area to keep an eye on for exciting and ever evolving wines
