A seriously built full-throttled Cabernet Sauvignon on steroids!” -Robert Parker. Super intense, shot through with spice and it lingers soulfully for ages after swallowing” -Max Allen. The most impressive McLaren Vale Cabernet I have ever tasted!” Divine Magazine. Grown at the superior Chinese block at Willunga, Serpico is crafted according to the artisanal Amarone process, the grapes are allowed to dry for several weeks before crushing and fermentation, producing a wine of immense concentration and remarkable complexity |
Time has revealed the Eden Valley to be a natural home for Riesling which, to quote Peter Lehmann, is the noblest white wine variety. Lehmann's Eden Valley has the unique distinction of being awarded Trophy for Best Riesling in the World at the London International Wine and Spirit Competition five times, more than any winemaker in the world. "A firmly bodied palate tight with fine minerally textures, and even now, a sense that its future has a honey glow!" -Adelaide Advertiser, "Peter Lehmann Rieslings shine regularly on the world stage!" -The Telegraph |
Fergus was a neighbour who was kind enough to sell his Grenache to Tim Adams in 1993 during a desperate shortage of Shiraz and Cabernet. Tim quickly realized that which had been born from serendipity to have real potential as a full bodied, soft style with immediate food compatibility. "This one takes a lot of beating, in fact I’m placing it right at the top reds. This is so smooth, red berry flavours are to the fore, and the spiciness of grenache make for a most pleasing taste sensation. I reckon the best $25 spent on a wine!" -John Crook |
An approachable and expressive red, early drinking and satisfying, brimming with good Cabernet fruit. "This is true to form and instantly recognisable as cabernet, with leafy aromas and blackcurrant fruit. The palate is medium bodied and a touch simple, but this is an enjoyable budget cabernet!" -Fergus McGhie. "A terrific cabernet for the price from a seemingly rejuvenated Deakin Estate in the Murray Darling!" -Quaff.com.au. "This one does it very well with expected blackcurrant, a touch of spice on the nose and fine tannins on the finish!" -Jeff Gordon |
Vintage 2005 for the Country Selection Chardonnay brought sensational ripeness and good acid balance to the grapes, from a season characterised by cool and moderate conditions in February to April. Small parcels of refined, delicate Mount Gambier and generous, tightly structured Adelaide Hills fruit were included in the blend to compliment the elegant, fine citrus flavours derived from the Coonawarra fruit. The Coonawarra Chardonnay parcels were picked early to retain the delicate regional varietal citrus flavours, tight structure and good length |
An honest, authentically crafted Barossa red assembled from parcels of good Barossa fruit, grown to vines up to thirty years of age, selected on the basis of gentle tannin structure and ripe expressions. Bethany maintains a very traditional winemaking operation, old world viticulture practices are applied, each individual block is picked separately, the components are kept separate throughout the winemaking process. "A classic winter dish needs something sturdy, such as this soft but powerful Aussie red. Highly Recommended!" -Daily Telegraph |
Super Bin 389 & 407
Value packed Bin 128 & 28
Over the last forty years Penfolds Bin 389 has developed a strong identity for consistency, reliability and exceptional value. Components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. Wine lovers enjoy it because it's delicious and ready to drink immediately upon release. |
A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the virtue of sensitive vineyard blending, bold Cabernet flavours are supported by a judicious use of soft oak. Magnificent Cabernet, bursting with a rich panoply of cedary highlights which wrap themselves around the thick berry fruit flavours. |
Introduced as one of the first Bin wines within the Penfolds portfolio, it has become an Australian classic. Penfolds Bin 28 is a ripe fleshy warm-climate Shiraz offering structure and generosity of flavour. Bin 128 has claimed an impressive chestful of awards and was twice named Red of the Year at the London International. |
In 1960 Bill Redman persuaded Max Schubert to acquire a parcel of Coonawarra, and the Bin 128 experience began. The only Penfolds to be pure Coonawarra, it was originally labelled as Claret, and whilst the quality has increased immeasurably, very little has changed about how Bin 128 is made. | |
