Description

Good things take time, and the 2018 Dhillon Col Mountain Shiraz is proof of just that. Crafted from four carefully chosen Shiraz clones, this wine has been given the luxury of ageing until it’s perfectly poised and ready to shine.

The PT23 and 1654 clones bring smoothness and aromatic flair, while the Yalumba and R6WV28 add depth and richness. Grown on deep red soils laced with shattered rock, the fruit imparts a natural complexity that winemaker Michael Dhillon has captured beautifully. The result is a layered, Christmas-cake-like character with dark fruits at its core, brightened by a pop of red fruit.

The palate is rich, juicy, and full, framed by fine, flowing tannins and balanced acidity. Drinking beautifully now, the 2018 Col Mountain Shiraz will reward those who cellar it for up to a decade.

Quality Cool Climate Shiraz

Classic wine from Bindi.Very light and tasty.Not to be missed.

This wine, to state the obvious, has been quite a while coming! In 2014 we began making experimental ferments using four clones from this exciting vineyard and decided to mature the blended bottled wines until we felt they were settled and singing. The 2018 Col Mountain is based on the smooth and aromatic Shiraz clones PT23 and 1654 with a little of the robust and rich Yalumba and R6WV28. The Col Mountain wines are from deep red soil with a significant amount of shattered rock. The 2018 is rich and complex with Christmas cake like layers of complexity. There are dark fruits with red fruits bringing brightness. The palate is juicy, rich and full with fine flowing tannins working with balanced acidity to make for a seamless, rolling finish. It is beginning to drink very well now and will cellar positively for another decade.

No, feel free to mix it up! There is no minimum requirement. You can order wines in any quantity or combination, 1 or 50+ bottles.

No, all prices are set at the full discounted dozen rate already.

Most wine retailers list at a single-bottle price and then discount 10–15% when you buy six or twelve. We've taken the opposite approach. Since the overwhelming majority of our orders are already 6 bottles or more, our list price is set for the case buyer from the start. There's no inflated single-bottle price to discount down from.

What that means for you:

- One price, same for everyone — no minimum to hit to unlock the best rate
- No mixed-six gymnastics to qualify for a discount
- Our single-bottle price is typically at or below a traditional retailer's by-the-dozen rate

Put simply: the box discount is already baked into the price.

**And if you find it cheaper elsewhere?** Let us know. If the same wine is available at a lower price at another retailer (including at their mixed-six or by-the-dozen rate) we're happy to match it.

If you can't add more wine to your cart it means we are low on stock of that wine. For example, if you are only able to 3 bottles and no more that means we only have 3 bottles left of that wine. If it's a must have, please contact us and we may be able to order more in for you.
