Critic Scores

It's superbly expressed on the nose, showing black and blueberry, floral, vanilla, cedar, and warm spice aromas. The concentrated palate exhibits outstanding weight and richness, wonderfully complemented by velvety texture and finely infused tannins, making it delectable and enticing with a sustained, gratifying finish. At its best: 2026 to 2040.

Opaque garnet with a vibrant rim. Initial char and toasty char before potpourri, blackberry, spent coffee, freshly turned earth, toffee, cherry medicinal hints and grilled plums. Full, yet balanced. Powdery and dry tannin underneath with Turkish spice, rosewater and cherry to red currant fruit. Steps well and brightly considering the stated ABV. Understated packaging notwithstanding, this is a fine example from the Barossa.

A delicious Krondorf-sourced shiraz that shows a cascade of pure satsuma plum, dark cherry and boysenberry fruits on a base of baking spices and earth, with citrus blossom top notes and hints of pan juices, dark chocolate, gentle vanillin oak, dried tobacco, turned earth and olive tapenade. It sits more in the medium-bodied spectrum and sports a lovely slender palate shape with plenty of spicy detail, fine, powdery tannins and a sprightly, mineral cadence. A really lovely drink this one.

About this Wine

South Australia

If you like Australian wine, then you probably like South Australia wine. The rich reds produced there put Australia on the wine-making map of the world. With over 40% of the countries vineyards, South Australia can rightfully call itself the wine state.

Wines are produced in several regions throughout the state, though many are naturally grouped together, like Barossa and Eden Valleys, only 15 minutes apart. They include such regions as Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, Eden Valley, Coonawarra, Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, Langhorne Creek, The Limestone Coast, McLaren Vale and Wrattonbully to name but a few!

Barossa Valley boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia dating back to 1843 and produces some of the world's finest Shiraz, whilst the 'terra rossa' soils of Coonawarra is most suited to producing outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons. If you're a fan of Riesling, Clare Valley is a great place to explore and for a Maritime climate not dissimilar to parts of the Italian coastline, seek out the wines from McLaren Vale.
