Banrock Station upon the River Muray is the perfect environment to practice environmentally friendly viticulture, and to husband sturdy vines which are the source for full flavoured Preservative Free Shiraz. At no stage in the winemaking process is the preservative SO2 used. Banrock Station takes care to select healthy grapes of high quality, with concentrated flavours and spritely acids. The wine is handled gently and with meticulous care throughout all stages of vinification to avoid exposure to any elements which may lead to spoilage |
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 |
Sofitel Melbourne Trophy Best Chardonnay. Eileen Hardy is the finest white in the Hardys portfolio, sourced from some of Australia’s most superior vineyards."This is one of those good all Chardonnays that serves to remind us how things inevitably come around 360°. It's layers of wafer and grapefruit could easily place it squarely within the post modern Adelaide Hills movement, whilst it's waxy oily phenolics might position it right up there with some classy contemporary stars around the Margaret River. Time waits for no one, drink!" -Cellarfreaks.com |
Tahbilk is a bulwark of Victorian Shiraz, it's original plantings are some of Australia's earliest. Traditional viniculural techniques, as practised by Tahbilk's winemakers in the 1860s, are still utilized, and the original chais of the winery is to this day a most integral part of the operations. Wine & Spirits selected Tahbilk's original 1860 Vines Shiraz Vineyard as one of the great twenty five vineyards in the world along with such well known estates as DRC La Tache, Hermitage La Chapelle, Chateau Lafite, Vega Sicilia and Chateau Y’Quem! |
A key to the success of Ribbon Vale is an astute understanding of how tannins develop during skin contact after fermentation. Through tasting, the right balance between fruit flavours, tannin and the correct time to press is struck. Merlot is a contrary beast, the two estate blocks give quite different results. The West Block has always produced higher yields, the East Block has more difficult conditions. The yield needs to be incresed in some instances and reduced in others. Merlot is the Goldilocks of grapes and the porridge has to be just right |
Best Merlot Trophy & Gold Hobart. Exceptional Merlot fruit for this vintage, the Patricia Merlot has not been released since 2000. Sourced from the superior Glenkara vineyard in the Pyrenees and a small parcel 6% from the Taylors vineyard at Beechworth, Patricia has spent 18 months in a combination of new and older French oak. A wine of unshakeably gelatinous flavours like cherry and berry ju-jubes, Patricia is supple with fruit intensity and tenderness, it's soft palate and fine silky tannins, hit an immediate chord with Australian wine judges |
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. |
