Peter Lehmann was known as the ‘Baron of the Barossa’, was a member of the Order of Australia, was called “a legend in his own lifetime” (Halliday) and “the most famous man in the Australian wine business” (Matthew Jukes). Barossa Cabernet is lavishly dark and mouthfilling ... as you’ll see when you taste this luscious Gold-winning example. Classic, inky black colour with generous lashings of rich dark blackcurrant, forest fruits, chocolate with eucalypt mint and spice undertones.

This prestigious Gold-medal Coonawarra Cabernet comes from Allegiance Wines, an estate founded by Tim Cox whose love of wine and allegiance to the grape has seen him create a range of outstanding (and critically acclaimed) wines from premium regions around the country. You’ll enjoy a dense, deep red of memorable power, laden with dark cassis, cedar, herbs and spice on a richly textured finish. One taste will show you why it’s picked up Gold!

McLaren Vale is home to some of Australia's biggest reds and here's a prize example from the bestselling 'Black Pig' - a cassis-rich Cabernet with wall-to-wall black cherry and bramble tones and a delicious lick of menthol.

Bleasdale is “one of the most historic wineries in Australia ... in 2015 celebrating 165 years of continuous winemaking by the direct descendants of the founding Potts family.” (James Halliday). Last year, winemaker Paul Hotker, a “master blender” , was named Halliday’s Winemaker of the Year. This “clever” 96pt blend shows his skill and style. “Clever cabernet-dominant blend incorporating malbec, franc, merlot and petit verdot to great effect. Red and black fruited, leafy cabernet, fine savoury tannins, line and length to burn. Gold at the National Wine Show ‘17 speaks volumes ... 96pts” (Halliday).

The rich palate shows berry fruit flavour and soft ripe tannins. The finish is also soft and long. This is a classical Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon exhibiting elegance with excellent flavour and structure. A benchmark of the region, enjoy with roast lamb now or cellar it for up to 7 years and watch it evolve!

The unstoppable John Quarisa really is unstoppable! He has been variously described as a “magician” and “a sorcerer” by Halliday. His wines do have a magic knack of winning Gold. His secret? Over 20 years of experience as a winemaker and wine judge – and a great attitude. As John says, “you just can’t take life too seriously” . Today, taste his Double Gold-winning ‘Enchanted Tree’ Cabernet. It's juicy and rich, with delicious dark plum, blackcurrant, blackberry, and subtle eucalypt and mint. The tannins are fine and smooth... a little bit of magic in the glass!

This is a terrific new wine from the great John Quarisa, and of course it's got Gold. TWO Gold, in fact! It brims with juicy blackcurrant fruit and toasty oak on a lovely long, smooth palate. It's a treat with barbecued lamb cutlets. Enjoy!

A single vineyard Coonawarra treat with FIVE Golds including a rare Great Gold, a Double, and multiple scores of 94-97 pts. "This is a compelling rendition, showing crème de cassis, Black Doris plum, violet and cigar box aromas on the nose, leading to a sumptuous palate that's both powerful and sophisticated. Multi-layered, immensely complex and properly structured with a great line and length" (Sam Kim, Wine Orbit). Stuart Knox in The Real Review remarks how its "big and rich lift of cassis, cola, and dark chocolate jumps from the glass. A big and dense wine, lashings of black fruit, layered with vanilla and cola spices".
