The continued success of this wine has cemented Luke as one of the true winemaking craftsman of his generation. Luke uses whole bunches to beautiful effect, elevating Yarra Valley Syrah to a spicy, ethereal wine with a quiet confidence.

The Timo Mayer Volcanic Syrah, like the Pinot Noir, comes from volcanic, red basalt soils, although this time from near Gembrook. It shows a wonderful mix of bright cherry and plum fruitiness on the nose, as well as some minerality, but after a bit of airing, the dark fruits start to shine, bringing with them some spicy tones.
The palate is silky and rich, with great concentration of flavour and a tannin structure that gives it grip and interest in the mouth. It finishes with orange and smokiness, delivering another captivating Timo Mayer wine.

Here's a wine that ticks all the boxes for a vibrant, modern Hunter Shiraz.
Bold and full of rich dark fruited goodness, with warming hints of spice and impeccably integrated oak. A little bit of whole bunch really adds depth, too, with seductive herbal, earthy notes making an appearance.
Fine and elegant, it's an absolutely gorgeous Shiraz from Angus Vinden. Delicious stuff.

The King's Wood Shiraz is one of the premium, small batch releases in the excellent Yangarra portfolio.
One of the best portions of the Yangarra vineyard was selected for this wine. There were 25% whole bunches used in the ferment, the fruit hand-picked and carefully double-sorted for quality control before being hand-plunged and left to rest in a huge oak cask before bottling. Oak is well and truly in the background here, a mere player in the overall symphony of this spectacular wine. Winemaker Peter Fraser and team highlighting the quality and vibrancy of their fruit as the hero in this wine.
This is a pristine example of McLaren Vale Shiraz at its absolute best. Poised, polished and powerful, it's a beautiful wine with a long life ahead.

This Syrah from their home-owned Oakbank vineyard is an excellent example of Shiraz variety grown in a cooler climate. It's a wine of detail, expressive and evocative. It's classy cool-climate Syrah, the way it's meant to be.
This wine combines a great site with thoughtful winemaking; a winning combination and a tantalising example of things to come from this exciting Adelaide Hills operation.

The organically grown Isolation Ridge vineyard is considered the jewel in the crown for this leading producer of Frankland River.

It's graceful, unforced and brimming with fresh pepper and herbs, and dark, violet fruit flavours. Wonderfully elegant yet concentrated. Cracking stuff for sure.
