1x Shanahans The Reaper Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 - 15.00% Alc
Concentrated fruit flavours of blackberry, plum, black olive, dark chocolate and earth. Allowing the wine time to open up will reveal a natural fruit elegance and perfectly engulfed oak flavours. The finish is long with perfectly balanced natural fruit acid and silky-smooth tannins which will ensure the longevity of this release.
1x The Colonial Estate Exile Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 - 14.50% Alc
Stunningly dense purple/black in colour with purple hue. Wonderful array of aromas here featuring perfumed scents with black fruits, plums, Mediterranean herbs, graphite, licorice, smoked meats, truffle and black pepper. Big, bold and beautiful. There is velvet like texture which runs through this wine hand in hand with its serious depth and concentration. Blackberries, cherries, blackcurrant, dark chocolate, damp earth, and truffles almost every flavour under the sun seems to appear and disappear with every sip. The tannins from the power of the Shiraz fruit are evident yet are balanced by the soft juicy fruit flavours.
1x Peter Lehmann Radical Barossa Shiraz 2022 - 14.00% Alc
Medium intensity ruby-red with bright garnet hues. On the nose, rich aromas of blueberry, plum and dark fruits intertwined with violet and spice from Touriga Nacionale. The palate is full bodied with a textural midpalate dominated by bright red fruits and with nuances of dark fruits, chocolate and cedar oak. The finish is vibrant and satisfying, leaving a long trail of generous juicy fruit and full palate tannin.
2x Jackman Vineyards Barrel Reserve Barossa Valley Shiraz 2016 - 14.50% Alc
Blackberry, blood plum and black cherry with hints of spice, licorice and dark chocolate. Full bodied mouth filling traditional Barossa valley Shiraz, blackberry, plum fruits dominate the palate whilst licorice, raison, ironstone and earth all play pivotal roles. Fine tannins, oak and fruit provide the backbone.
2x First Fleet The Captain Barossa Valley Shiraz 2021 - 13.50% Alc
Mulberry and plum fruit mixes with spice on the smooth-textured palate, making this a versatile accompaniment to food.
2x The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023 - 14.00% Alc
Deep purple with red brick flash around edge. Blackberry fruits with hints of licorice, oak and aniseed. The palate is softly spoken and fruit driven initially with blackberries, plums and licorice notes giving your insight into what is ahead. An approachable mid palate, which is full-flavored, while the fine-grained tannins finish with complex notes of olives, cashew nuts and oak. An alluring finish, which is moreish and smooth, yet has great length.
2x Vortex Disorder Barossa Valley Shiraz 2019 - 14.50% Alc
Seek out, uncover, delve deeper. A rich, concentrated Barossa Shiraz awaits. Imbued with fresh blueberry and plum notes, in tandem with rich mocha and hints of spice, this wine embodies a flavour-filled release, matched only by its power and length.
1x Fu Barossa Valley Shiraz 2020 - 16.00% Alc
Deep dark black with crimson hues. A hedonistic style which needs time to breathe to show its true character. The fruit characters are blackberry and there is white pepper and some seductive spice. Some age is showing and is evident through the characters of leather saddle, coffee, and chocolate. Powerful fruit flavours are evident thanks in large part to the old vine material used there’s a blanket of tannin and oak which all work together to provide the backbone. Plum, liqueur, leather, earth, coffee and smoked meat all perform back up roles. A perfect balance between oak and fruit has been achieved and these characters appear to have perfectly melted into one another over time due to the use of high-quality oak and minimal Sulphur use. The tannin structure is long and velvety with the wine having an incredibly long finish.

"Dark chocolatey nose with good dash of spices and black pepper. This wine has a lovely, long, rich, dark fruit palate balanced with spicy characters and oak."
92 Point Rated - Aaron Brasher The Real Review
"Dark, inky and opaque in the glass. Juicy, jubey, ripe and plush aromas of plum, spice, cola and charry oak. Big, chunky and chewy on the palate. Plum, charry oak and sweet spice drive this beast. Decadent, richly flavoured and with plenty of juice."
92 Point Rated - Erin Larkin Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
"The 2021 The Reaper Shiraz is dark, dense and brooding aromatically, with bitter chocolate, black licorice, sweet roasted bone marrow, blood plum and tapenade. In the mouth, the wine is shaped by gravelly, gritty tannin and plenty of oak. 15% alcohol, sealed under Diam."
