Catalpa Pinot Noir comes from a single vineyard located in Tupungato, Uco Valley in Mendoza – one of the best wine-growing regions in Argentina. It takes its name from an American tree that grows 10 to 12m high and has beautiful, aromatic white flowers. Bright red ruby in colour. Aromas of blueberry and gooseberry jam, with hints of caramel and chocolate. In the mouth, it is elegant and well-balanced, with smooth tannins and intense red fruit notes. Great with soft cheeses, poultry and lamb. The wine has an aging potential of 8 years.

Rich plum and damson fruit, vanilla notes, plus a lovely lift of violet aromas. Drinking beautifully. First class!

Syrah is one of Mauricio Lorca's favourite grape varieties; he loves its fickle nature, the bold influence it can bring to a blend and, most of all, the song it sings flying solo. This delicious Syrah packs a big, spicy, chocolate-infused punch in its youth but after a few years in bottle, as here, it mellows into a most sultry and complex wine, a delight if you fancy an askew take on the northern Rhône.

A propriety blend of Malbec, Cabernet Franc,Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. This is a rich, multi layered wine with lashings of dark berry fruit all integrated with a light touch of oak and very fine tannins. Lovely.

Hints of violets on the nose, red fruits and a touch of cocoa and chocolate leads to a complex and voluptuous palate with firm silky tannins and a long finish. Delightful.

Serious Malbec for those who like their Malbecs BIG. Lush, upfront fruit packed into a sophisticated palate. This oozes class and finesse.Blackberries, fig, mocha and a suggestion of coffee. Fabulous with a rare rib eye steak or drink by itself for maximum impact. Worth every penny.

A surprisingly affordable red from this esteemed producer. Smooth and delicious.

Brilliant Shiraz from this impressive winery just outside Canberra.

Classic, elegant Heathcote Shiraz with fine structure, good red fruit and traditional leathery complexity. More restrained than most Australian Shiraz's.

A 2nd Label sitting nicely with the Art series. This is a tasty, straight forward Shiraz with top quality results from younger vines. Plenty of black fruit and smoky spice make for an enjoyable drinking experience.

An intense wine with layers of dark berry fruit flavours. Chalky tannins layered with mulberry, olive and dark plum compote give elegance and finesse.

Intense cherry, strawberry lift with powerful savoury overtones put this ‘old vine‘ Grenache at the serious quality end of the spectrum. Ripe, persistent tannins and a long fruit driven palate add to the intensity.

Monastrel grows at Mataro in Spain ; France calls it Mourvedre; Australia use all three names, Silky and lush; licorice and currant; blood and boot polish - its wickedness is irresistible.

Big is an understatement.... Huge structure giving way to intense fruit and spice.

A complex, plush yet stately wine, with all the characteristic Cabernet notes of a savoury nature with nuances of blackberries and vanilla with just a hint of hedgerow. A svelte yet seductive palate with depth and length, layers of fruit with a core of fine tannins and balance that will reward long term cellaring.

Great intensity of fruit and character.

The 2009 Grosset Watervale Riesling has fragrant lemon zest and lime juice aromas, is intense, fine and powerful with rich and concentrated lime citrus flavours and a lingering, dry finish of considerable length. It is a vibrant wine with characteristic juiciness yet has a mid-palate softness which makes it approachable when young.

The noble varieties Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre, when carefully selected and blended together, can produce wines of immense balance and intensity of flavour. This medley of premium varieties has been sourced from older estate managed vineyards from both the Barossa and Clare Valleys.
