Description

The 2023 Vinden Headcase Shiraz Nouveau offers a fresh take on Hunter Valley Shiraz, crafted by the innovative Angus Vinden.

This nouveau style Shiraz is light and vibrant, a departure from the traditional, more robust Hunter Valley Shiraz. It’s made from grapes sourced from the Vinden vineyard, planted in 1995, and the Stoney Broke Vineyard. Wild fermented with 10% whole bunches and 90% whole berries, this wine was matured in concrete tanks and neutral French oak barrels.

The result is a crisp, perfumed Shiraz with bright red fruit flavors and a touch of spice. Its lively acidity and light body make it perfect for enjoying slightly chilled, especially on a warm day.

A cheerful, easy-drinking red that brings a modern twist to a classic variety!

Great Hunter Valley RED

This is great Hunter Valley "nouveau style" Shiraz. It's a lot lighter than normal Hunter Shiraz, but has a point of difference that makes it interesting. Its ready for drinking this summer, I tried it chilled but preferred it at normal ambient temperature.

Tasty twists on hunter Shiraz!
Wish I purchased more

This light, crisp, perfumed style of Shiraz was sourced from our Vinden vineyard planted in 1995 over red clay soil and Stoney Broke Vineyard in Broke. Wild fermented with 10% whole bunch, 90% whole berry in open concrete tanks and matured in concrete tanks/ neutral French oak barrels. Enjoy it now or on a hot summer’s day - serve slightly chilled. Cheers!

Vinden Estate

Angus Vinden, the dynamic young winemaker of Vinden Wines, is redefining this beloved Hunter Valley winery. Taking over from his father a few years ago, Angus has infused fresh energy into the family label, producing exciting, modern wines that are garnering attention from the country's leading wine scribes.

He focuses on the Hunter Valley's classic Semillon and Shiraz, excelling with Tempranillo and even Chenin Blanc while exploring these varieties with a creativity and flair rarely seen in the region. Angus expanded the estate with the purchase of the historic Somerset Vineyard, a vineyard with a storied past, having provided the fruit for some of the region’s most acclaimed wines over the last 50+ years. It is a very good thing for the region that this iconic site is now in Gus' hands.

Vinden Wines is a vibrant blend of tradition and innovation, making it hands down one of the Hunter Valley's most exciting up-and-coming labels.

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.
