The unique and beautiful Warner Vineyard Shiraz further illustrates Beechworth's position as one of Australia's new classic wine regions. The Warner Vineyard is planted on decomposed granitic soils overlying a clay base. Vinification in "open-top wood" or concrete tanks takes place in three separate cuvees of equal volume; one is co-fermented with up to 5% Roussanne. Maturation takes place in new (40%) and wine-seasoned barriques.

Durif achieves cult-like status among those who enjoy its dense concentrated charm. Intense aromas of dark berry fruits and liquorice notes are perfectly married with a rich and ripe palate.

The Chambers family have been making fortified wines in the world famous region of Rutherglen for more than six generations and it shows. Some of the finest, not to mention affordable, fortifieds being produced anywhere in the world. A true Australian icon.

A unique style with body and structure, loosely inspired by the famed Tavel rosé of Provence, but lighter. 100% Shiraz fruit that has had skin contact for several hours to develop the gorgeous pink hue, reminiscent of quince jelly. The 2019 Rosé has a distinct nose of strawberries evoking the joys of the warmer months. The palate is full, textural and expressive, allowing food pairing, or simply enjoying on a sunny day with friends. Food & Wine Matching Barbecues, grilled pork sausages, fish, chicken or just enjoy with great company. Cellaring Drink now, best enjoyed chilled.

The 2015 Elura Shiraz offers gentle, medium-weight palate with a charry oak overlay. Long, slow ripening period and cool fermentation with 20% whole bunches. Gentle basket pressing followed by 24 months in French oak.

Produced using equal portions of whole bunch and destemmed fruit along with indigenous yeasts and minimalist wine making techniques of pump overs and aerations reducing to irregular pumch down in a combination of new and aged French oak. MLF was undertaken in barrel and the wine was left on full lees for approx. 14 months before racking and bottling unfiltered and unfinned.

This is not your average rosé. Handpicked from painstakingly managed 20-year-old Shiraz vines, the fruit was crushed and sent directly to tank to preserve the character of the wine. Fleeting contact with skins rewards with gorgeous colour and crunch. A cooler ferment keeps it bright, before ageing in old French oak for an element of savouriness.

Durif originated in the Rhône Valley of France, but has been grown in Rutherglen for over a century. Its a variety that tends to make rather bold wines, like this beauty! Deep red black. Super-rich black cherry cola with iodine and prune. Palate equally intense with lashings of inky dark plum, prune and dark cherry, satiny and rounded mouthfeel, espresso-like tannins and plenty of charry oak. Sweet, rich and ripe.

Giaconda vineyard was established by Rick Kinzbrunner, a mechanical engineer who became interested in wine in the early 1970's. Rick then spent the next ten years working in the industry, travelling and following his passion for wine. After a brief stint in New Zealand, he studied at Davis University in California and worked at some of the most respected wineries in the Napa and Sonoma Valleys (namely Stag's Leap, Simi and Matanzas Creek). In Europe he worked for the Moueix group in Bordeaux, co-owner of the fabled Chateau Petrus.

Absolute bargain Shiraz (that wildly overdelivers for the price) from a modern Beechworth star!
