Having some of the most vineyards in Australia also helps! This 2017 Shiraz made by Tom Barry, the talented grandson of Jim Barry, has rich dark berried fruit character that is layered with hints of spice and violet. Great structure on the palate with elegant savoury tannins enveloping the fruit through to an everlasting finish.

Part of the Kirrihill 'Regional Series', characteristic of the region, fruit driven, soft and approachable wines. This Riesling is as refreshing as a dip in the ocean. A bright and crisp style with fragrant citrus, floral and orange blossom notes. Fresh acidity leads to a clean, dry and mouth-watering finish.

This quintessential Margaret River wine style personifies region and lifestyle. The wine’s aroma is generous and punchy with layers of tropical fruits; it is crisp and dry with the palate displaying ripe nectarines, passionfruit and guava, the finish is clean and refreshing.

Kirrihill 'Regional Series' Cabernet Sauvignon showcases all the classic elements of Clare Valley varietals. This Cabernet is a showstopper. Dark red fruits and plum aromas flirt with delicate mixed herbs and spice notes. Elegant yet generous with balanced oak flavours and fine-grained tannins.

Tamblyn is named after the Willson family's ancestors who migrated to Australia from Cornwall.

Selkirk in the Scottish borders was the ancestral home of the Willson family. The wine is named in honour of Rebecca and Lucy's grandfather.

The Dreamer is light straw yellow with hues of green. Fresh apricots and violets on the nose with lifts of lemon. The palate is bright and fresh with vivid acid and juicy fruits. The balance of fruit and acid give the wine depth and vibrancy.

Dense, inky red colour with a purple rim. The nose is layered, complex and seductive with great intensity and balance between ripe red to dark fruit and spicy undertones. The wine is upfront in its every aspect but elegantly put together so that the palate remains fresh and incredibly drinkable. The tannins are persistent and savoury, the finish long and rounded.

Very nice early drinking wine but will become more complex

Vibrant in colour, with lots of luminous green tints. Lovely florals and green apple blossom aromas. Mouth-filling flavours of lime juice, green apple, and lemon pith balancing the zesty acid backbone. The flavours linger on for quite some time, a classic Hunter Valley Semillon to enjoy now or age gracefully.

Magenta in colour with a full depth hue. The aroma is a delightful mix of mulberries and violets with a hint of rhubarb. An opulent mix of warm berry compote, juicy dark red plums, dark chocolate and cloves with a hint of nutmeg. The finish is long and lingering with mouth watering tannins.

Colour: Dark garnet red Bouquet: dark berry fruits with undertones of dried herbs and cigar box. Palate: Elegant and refined with lovely berry fruits framed by supple savory tannins. Grapes were destemmed, sorted and crushed into small batches for ferment. Wines were fermented with wild yeast, gaining layered complexity. Extended time on skins post fermentation gave the wine greater depth and savoury characteristics. The wine was pressed, and racked to oak for maturation. It was then left to evolve in oak for 16 months before blending for bottling.

From the coolest and highest vineyard in the Watervale sub-region comes this vibrant and aromatic Riesling.

The Old Adam Shiraz is a combination of parcels of wine from the best blocks of Shiraz from the Bremerton vineyards.

From 'The King of Riesling', this hard rock site is overlaid with silty, low fertility soils, producing restrained, steely, pure wines. The Polish Hill vineyard was planted in 1996, following years of research into the effect of soil, rock and altitude on Riesling.

Best known for his Rieslings, Jeff Grosset's Chardonnay is also known for its pure expression of variety and place. Free-run juice fermented in French oak and 30% malolactic fermentation has resulted in a riotously perfumed Chardonnay with bright, fresh fruit.

Nine Popes is Melton's nod to the great wines of Châteauneuf-du-Pape and is as rich, powerful and beautifully balanced as the best examples from France. Almost a permanent feature in Matthew Jukes’ 100 Best Australian Wines.

Clonakilla's star wine. Inspired by time spent in the Northern Rhône, Tim has been co-fermenting these two varieties with multi award-winning results for 23 years.

The famous Austrian red! Medium bodied. Plenty of aromas of fresh cherries and other lush ripe fruits. On the palate there's a nice savoury edge followed by a smooth and fruitful finish.

A weightier style of Grüner than some, including Pfaffl's own The Dot Apple Grüner, thanks to a later harvest and more skin contact. Rich apple fruit, with a hint of pepper and a mineral, citrus zesty finish.

A soft and flattering Pinot Blanc with a gentle aroma of white flowers and generous fruit. This lively wine has fresh apple, white peach and spice flavours. There is good weight on the palate yet it is soft and supple and finishes with a firm acidity.

This wild fermented Riesling from the oldest vines planted in 1980 at the estate’s Butlers’ Grant Vineyard is aged on its lees for six months and undergoes 100% malolactic fermentation. It has a mineral rich nose of salinity and wet stones with lemon/lime zest, green apple, peach, and those vineyard-specific ginger notes always prevalent from this vineyard. That lees aging brings out a creamy feel on the palate with green pear, gushing lime, lemon zest and, yes, more ginger in a more rounded, texturally satisfying style with just a touch of sweetness tempered by the racy acidity.

Aromas of black cherry, vanilla and sweet spice. Fresh and vibrant red fruit on the palate with vanilla, caramel and dark berry accents on the finish. This pinot noir is medium bodied with pleasant tannins and a long finish. 23 months in French oak, whole cluster wild ferment.

100% traditional method Chardonnay. Fresh lemon, leesy notes, and green apple. Persistent on the palate with bright and fresh lemon cream.
