1998 was the fourth successive drought vintage in the Clare Valley. This Riesling has a fuller orange blossom flavour and aroma produced from a drought year.

The Wolf Blass Grey Label Shiraz is an opulent concentrated and complex style with plenty of spicy fruit and a dash of chocolate. True to the style that Wolf himself made from the very beginning of this now iconic brand, this is very tasty and enjoyable now yet it has the weight and complexity to improve with cellaring.

Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz is a complex and layered wine with aromas of lifted cherry and dark fruit combining seamlessly with chocolate and mocha undertones. A full-bodied wine with fine tannins and a soft, supple finish.

One could be forgiven for thinking you'd just opened a good Bordeaux, given the varieties used, the structure and style, and the fine French oak employed. Assured and elegant, there's a new world plushness, mineral core and herbal freshness that gives the game away. Yes, it's Hawke's Bay from a very good producer - the fastidious Craggy Range. 73% Merlot, 13% Malbec, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Cabernet Franc. Tasted in August, 2022, after a few restful years in our cellar, the wine is impressive and ready to drink now, although you should be in no hurry. A graceful flow of plum and and mulberry flavours, touched by cedar and sandalwood, and smoothed by soft, ripe tannins, provides for stylish drinking. 2013 was, clearly, a very good year for this label.

First made in 1959, Penfolds Kalimna Shiraz is an icon in the field of warm-climate Shiraz. Always ripe, robust and generously flavoured. The Bin 28 is named after the Kalimna vineyard that was purchased back in 1945 and from which the original fruit was sourced from. Today, the Bin 28 is a great example of the Penfolds dedication to multi-region, multi-vineyard blending. The Barossa Valley will always remain an integral part of the Bin 28 blend providing rich, vibrant primary fruit flavours.
