2x The Colonial Estate Richard Lander Old Vine Barossa Valley Shiraz 2020 - 15.50% Alc 

The 2020 vintage reveals a dense nose filled with red and black forest fruits, spicy plum, black cherry, dried fruits, and a touch of pepper, all of which hint at the richness and complexity that await on the palate. Fermented in small open-top fermenters and aged in French oak barrels, the wine evolves into a full-bodied Barossa Shiraz with a complex array of flavors. Upfront, it presents ripe plum, dark chocolate, dried figs, and leather saddle, while subtle notes of white pepper round out the profile.

3x The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Shiraz 2023 - 14.00% Alc 

In the glass, it glows deep purple with a red-brick rim, hinting at both richness and finesse. Ripe blackberry, licorice, aniseed and subtle oak aromas rise from the glass, setting the stage for a plush and layered palate. Blackberry and plum flavours unfold with velvety precision, evolving into a mid-palate of fine-grained tannins and savoury complexity. Notes of olive, roasted cashew and charry oak linger long into a smooth, moreish finish.

3x The Colonial Estate Etranger Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 - 14.00% Alc 

In the glass, it reveals a deep black-purple hue with bright crimson reflections. The nose is intensely aromatic, offering a classic Cabernet profile of blackcurrants and mulberries, lifted by minty liquorice and a subtle touch of new oak. The palate delivers a seamless blend of ripe plum, blackcurrant, and mulberry, underpinned by cedar, spice, and rich licorice nuances.

3x The Colonial Estate Emissaire Clare Valley Riesling 2025 - 11.50% Alc 

Pale green-straw in colour, the nose offers delicate white florals, zesty lemon and lime, sherbet, and hints of Nashi pear. The palate is tightly focused with intense citrus juice, chalky minerality, and a touch of talc, all supported by an elegant, linear acidity that drives a crisp, dry finish. With the structure and acid profile to age gracefully, this is a Riesling that will continue to evolve beautifully for at least five years, developing layers of complexity and gentle toastiness over time.

1x The Colonial Estate Explorateur Barossa Valley Sparkling Shiraz Nv - 13.50% Alc 

The nose is rich with blackberry, cherry, and spice, accented by licorice and hints of oak. The palate is full-flavoured and creamy, bursting with plum, blackberries, and licorice, with a soft, fruit-driven core and fine tannin structure. A fresh and lively finish makes this a truly moreish sparkling red.
