Outstanding Langtons Classification. This is an exceptionally powerful and vibrant dry riesling, drinking beautifully when young, the style is unwaveringly Polish Hill. Layer after layer of flavour, impeccable balance, and mighty yet controlled power. The new MW Classification of Australian wines rates the Grosset Polish Hill as the epitome of Australian riesling. "Jeffrey Grosset's Polish Hill riesling tastes as though the grape juice were made of water that was filtered through layers of glacial gravel, slate and shale – which, in fact, it was!" -Wine and Spirits USA |
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!" -Telegraph |
Ray and Patrik Jones first venture into the wine industry was a proposal for a film featuring gentleman James Halliday as anchorman. Sellicks Beach Shiraz is aromatically giving of perfumed, spicy plum and a heady touch of bourbon barrel, the fleshy fruit follows with an array of black berry and cherry flavours. "Gorgeous drinkability. Drift down the coast, slip your feet into the sand and crack into this vibrant wine grown under the moderating climate of the Southern Ocean. Hits all the pleasure buttons for fine McLaren Vale Shiraz!" -Hamoods Plonk |
Langton's Outstanding Classification. Octavius has established a reputation as one of Australia's icon Shiraz wines. In addition to being sourced from a number of very old vineyards in the Barossa, Octavius is matured in American oak octaves of ninety litres capacity. It is the only red wine in the world that is matured in such small barrels. The secret of the wine not becoming overpowered by the oak lies in the wood, which is seasoned at Yalumba's own on-site cooperage for eight years before the octaves are crafted |
Yalumba have allocated vast resources for the development of vineyards that specialize in the more esoteric varietals. Their efforts have been rewarded with some of Australia's best examples of Pinot Grigio. "This wine has personality and flavours of pear and citrus, with cleansing minerality on the finish. Drink now with antipasto!" -Weekend Australian, "A suitable, neatly balanced white that has attractive fruity aromas, pleasing viscosity and savoury flavours before a long, dry finish. Calls to be drunk with fresh, light-bodied dishes!" -Quaff.com.au |
Previous vintages have claimed many conspicuous accolades including Silver at the prestigious London International. Much of the fruit is sourced from eminent sites around Whitfield in the King Valley, not far from the Gapsted winery. Growing conditions can be close to perfect in these climes and the winemakers made it a priority to capture and preserve the exceptional quality of the Shiraz fruit. "A tightly focused wine, bright as a bell in its representation of the high country, cherry ripe over a silken palate, alpine Shiraz at it's best!" -Wine Mag.com.au |
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. |
