St Hallett Gamekeeper’s Reserve Shiraz Grenache 2009

You know how sometimes you find that little gem right under your nose – this wine is one of those little gems.

Grant Burge Filsell 2008 Barossa Old Vine Shiraz

Grant Burge has some very fine old vines and these grapes come from vines planted in the Barossa in the 1920’s giving this wine rich intensity & finesse well above its price.  The wine shines with bright purple youthful vibrancy. Perfumed blackberry, dark chocolate and smoky vanilla characters abound.  And after 20 months resting in [...]
