This Shiraz is grown on our family's Upper Tintara Vineyard in McLaren Vale, which my great great grandfather Thomas Hardy purchased from Dr. A. C. Kelly in 1871' - Andrew 'Ox' Hardy.

Chapel Hill makes great value wines in the maritime climate of McLaren Vale. This Shiraz is a beauty. Dark berries and vanillin oak are evident in the bouquet with spice coming through on the palate.

Depth and intensity without over-extraction. Dark fruit richness, smoked nuts, seaside herbs, iodine. Compact and dense, yet with polished tannin, good acidity and silky length.

Frux Frugis is Latin for fruit of the earth and is sourced from Old Vines from the finest parcels of Shiraz from the Ulithorne Vineyards. With a palate of plums, subtle spices, structural tannin and exceptionally long length, this vintage of Frux Frugis shows the reward which wonderful weather and well tended vines can bring to a wine.

An elegant wine with perfectly ripened blackberry and plum fruit, liquorice and hints of dark chocolate. Maturation in high quality French and American oak has created a complex layered finish with fine tannins and notes of vanilla and spice. Sourced from vines planted in 1947 this wine was matured in a combination of French and American oak for 18 months. Expressive aromatics of liquorice, dark chocolate and blackberries emerge from the glass with underlying toasty vanillin oak and spice. Full bodied, rich and velvety in its mouthfeel the palate delivers a generous flavour profile of ripe blackberries, liquorice and dark chocolates over some smoky vanillin cedar, a touch of mocha and spice. Silky smooth, polished tannins only enhance the wines sumptuous qualities. Superb length with a long aftertaste of blackberries, liquorice, dark chocolate, toasty vanillin oak and spice.

Made by Corrina Wright, a sixth generation member of the Oliver family, this is McLaren Vale Shiraz to the extreme. There's bold chocolate and blackberry flavours, a hint of pepper and smokey overtones. The alcohol sits at the higher end of the spectrum and there's plenty of vanilla oak, but the fruit intensity pulls it all together to produce a superbly balanced wine.

Shingleback owners John & Kym Davey produce a lovely, rich McLaren Vale Shiraz here with aromas of ripe cherry fruit, milk chocolate and licorice. Plush and sweet fruited on the palate, the tannins are soft and supple. Wonderful drinking.

AROMA: Dark cherries, plum, spice, perfume, flowers and dark chocolate. TASTE: A beautifully balanced shiraz, it is a complex wine with wonderfulred and dark fruit flavours combining with spice, dark chocolate and a hintof coffee. The finish is long and smooth. CELLARING: Will reward cellaring for 6-8 years or more. VINTAGE The fruit was harvested and handled separately from each vineyard. Aftergoing through a 10 day fermentation on skins, it was transferred to acombination of new, 2nd and 3rd use French oak barrels, of which 15%were new. It spent 15 months in barrel prior to blending. A warm and dry summer produced small berries with rich andconcentrated flavours. The blending of the three sub regions of Clarendon,Blewitt Springs and Seaview allowed us to maintain a wine of purity andvibrancy. AROMA: Dark cherries, plum, spice, perfume, flowers and dark chocolate.
