Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna South Australia Shiraz 2016

Vibrant, dense plum red, red edges. A black Kalamata olive tapenade as a first impression, beneath an overlay of camphor and tobacco. How to say this politely? Boot polish, bitumen, cola, granite ... darkened style/varietal base notes. Yet blackberry conserve and sour cherry fill the (fruity) treble register. Scents of cut straw/steel cut oats fill any aromatic chord gaps. Full-bodied. Substantial. Framboise des bois (raspberry) with pips/vinegar – coulis or apothecary? Meat? Closest association noted – raw/rare venison. Not to deny the welcomed presence of chocolate torte and mocha flavours.

A “cloaked” continuum of tannins that linger and reverberate with the discipline of a vinous pendulum. Finishes intact with a flourish of dusty graphite (input of oak?) and balanced acidity.


Riolite Vini Sangiovese Nero d'Avola e Corvina The Blend

Intense and concentrated ruby red colour. Bouquet of ripe red fruit on a spicy background. On the palate it enhances all its freshness with just and balanced tannins accompanied by a long persistence.


Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Black squid ink, impenetrable colour. The nose shows dark fruits, dark chocolate and olive notes with rich blackcurrant and violets leading in to a richly flavoured palate. The palate shows elegance and length with dark plum and olive flavours relishing. There is a lot of complexity of flavors and mid palate richness derived from obvious highly concentrated fruit and well-balanced oak usage. The obvious finesse and length along with the finely grained yet expressive tannins in this wine shows it has great cellaring potential and could be a true treasure over the years to come.


Whistler Wines Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz 2015

Our take on the classic Barossa Shiraz, this wine has a inky purple colour with a deep red hue. Aromas of dark plum, coffee and black pepper. The palate is rich and voluptuous, with the classic blue fruits and smooth silky tannins. This wine has great capacity to age and will continue to soften and develop more secondary fruit characters. 


The Wine Barossa Valley Marananga Shiraz 2016

Purple and crimson with a dense centre and a youthful edge. Blackberries, mulberries and cherries with hints of charred oak. There is plenty going on with black cherries, vanilla, and some saddle leather characters. The fruit is quite solid yet repressed by the oak and tannin. Will lay down well with some time in the cellar, fruit will prevail creating an elegant, savoury style of wine.


The Grail Of Lisa McLaren Vale Old Vines Shiraz 2017

Aromatic fruit driven in its youth, the primary characters are blackberry and some sweeter strawberry notes fill the glass. Complexity is derived from some chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee along with the presence of gentle oak. The full bodied fruit forward palate is filled with the flavours of ripe red and black berries, perfectly encapsulated by the fine oak tannins that lead into the long finish.


Mary Davine Wines Barossa Shiraz 2016

The wine is black at the core. Expressing an onslaught of beautifully ripe fruit. Like black figs or confit black plums, and they are generously doused with an array of baking spices. The wine is clearly savoury, with a combination of lightly leathery tannins and acidity pulling the wine into a long finish.


Mary Davine Wines Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

The vineyard is located on the South Eastern reaches of Eden Valley with an altitude of just over 500 metres – ensuring a long slow ripening season. As one of Australia’s premier viticulture regions we are consistently provided with exceptional fruit of great colour and depth of flavour.


Chain of Ponds Section 400 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Deep cherry red with a light garnet hue. Intensely complex nose with plums entwined with spice and the earthiness of beetroot while having fresh fruit lift of dark cherry and rhubarb. A touch of fennel and dried herbs helps give a lift and balance to sweeter fruits. On the palate there is generous fruit weight displaying cherry, satsuma plum and blackberry fruits. This is integrated with beetroot, rhubarb and lifted spices. Full bodied with firm, slightly textural but velvety tannins and balanced acidity, great fruit length with good savouriness. 

Technical:

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna South Australia Shiraz 2016

All the major growing regions in South Australia experienced ideal conditions leading into the harvest of 2016. Overall, the season started off cool and dry, with low rainfall. Spring and early summer warmed up considerably resulting in an average growing season with little rainfall. A warm, dry spring was ideal for flowering and fruit-set. Warm conditions prevailed in the early part of the summer allowing vines to grow well with good bunch set. Milder conditions in January allowed for optimal flavour development, with late rain refreshing the vines.

Despite the challenges of a relatively dry season, ripening was even with smaller than average berries. Harvest commenced quickly with shiraz showing great colour and complex flavours.


Riolite Vini Sangiovese Nero d'Avola e Corvina The Blend

From a selection of the best grapes harvested between the first and third week of October, carefully de- stemmed are vinified in modern stainless steel tanks, with maceration on the skins for an average duration of 15-18 days at a temperature of about 26 ° centigrade. Once the alcoholic fermentation is complete, the wine carries out the malolactic fermentation. After 6 months of aging the blend is made between the three grapes and the bottling.

Normans Chais Clarendon McLaren Vale Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Hand picked then fermented in small stainless steel fermentors to maintain strong fruit flavor from skins. The wine then went into American and French oak barrels for the remainder of ferment where it spent an extended period of time to allow full flavor development and fruit and oak to balance and compliment each other.


Whistler Wines Estate Barossa Valley Shiraz 2015

Entirely from our Heysen Estate Vineyard, this wine is a blend of all three clones of our Shiraz- Kalimna 3C, 1654 and BVRC30. Deep loam over clay, with outcrops of quartz stone and ironstone. 

Harvested as separate clones and fermented wild in old concrete fermenters. Foot stomped and basket pressed, then stored in 70% American and 30% French oak for twenty months. The individual clones are then blended together to make a more complex wine. Bottling with no fining and no filtration. 


The Wine Barossa Valley Marananga Shiraz 2016

Hand selected and hand picked fruit was used for this wine and it underwent fermentation in stainless steel open top fermenters, and was pumped over twice a day, the wine was pressed then transferred to new hogshead barrels where it completed its malolactic fermentation. The wine was topped regularly and racked once whilst maturing in barrel.


The Grail Of Lisa McLaren Vale Old Vines Shiraz 2017

Sourced from a small vineyard from a block aged 60 years plus. Small bunches ensured fruit purity and intensity, which is a key requirement for this wine. The fruit is picked and crushed into old vats where fermentation began via the addition of wild yeasts found on grape skins. Careful extraction and short post ferment maceration is followed by basket pressing. The wine under went malolactic fermentation in American oak and then was aged in the same oak with some skins added back to add further fruit character and ensure the fruit flavour was as intense as possible to ensure it was not over whelmed by oak but complimented by it. Bottled with minimal filtration or fining. 

A wine which will benefit immensely with time in the cellar to settle and develop. It will have a great lifespan of around 10 years.


Mary Davine Wines Barossa Shiraz 2016

Nestled high up in the back blocks of the southern reaches of Eden Valley the vineyard is a regional treasure. Planted in 1970 its fruit is highly prized by some of the country's most recognisable brands: a number of which retail for $140+ / bottle.

At Mary Davine we are thrilled to be entrusted with this fruit – with all of our 30 years in the industry we promise to craft only the finest examples of Eden Valley Shiraz.

 The Shiraz is harvested in the cool early hours of the morning to retain flavour and freshness before destemming and inoculation with specific yeast – a Italian strain that ferments at cool temperatures and enhances colour, structure and the natural spiciness of the variety.

The ferments are undertaken in traditional 1 ton open fermenters for 8 days, each day the fruit is hand plunged pushing the skins under the fermenting juice to assist in great colour and flavour development of the wine. Once a day the juice is drained from the fermenter and then returned over the skins. With approximately 2 Baume the fermenting wine is drained from the fermenter and the skins basket pressed by hand. Total extraction is limited to a maximum of 550 litres per ton – extremely lower compared to an industry average of 750 litres per ton.

The fermenting wine is gravity transferred into a mixture of new and 3 year old French and American hogsheads to complete primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Upon completion the wine is racked and returned to mature for a minimum period of 24 months.


Mary Davine Wines Barossa Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Planted in 1970 (48 years ago) Only local knowledge, a firm hand-shake deal and an outrageous cash exchange allowed us to secure a small parcel this sumptuous fruit. And even then I have to keep it secret. If the other producers find out the vineyard owner will be in trouble and that the end of the fruit.

The unique micro-climate ensures long slow flavour development. Delivering an intensity of concentration and length rarely found anywhere else in the Barossa.

The fruit is harvested in the cool of the night to retain flavour and freshness before destemming and inoculation with specific rare yeast – a Italian strain that specifically ferments at cool temperatures.

It only serves to enhance the natural fruit flavours.

The ferments are undertaken in traditional 1 ton open fermenters for 8 days, each day the fruit is hand plunged pushing the skins under the fermenting juice to assist in great colour and flavour development of the wine.

The fermenting wine is gravity transferred into a mixture of new and 3 year old French and American hogsheads to complete primary fermentation and malolactic fermentation. Upon completion the wine is racked and returned to mature for a minimum period of 21 months.


Chain of Ponds Section 400 Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir 2017

Fruit for the Section 400 Pinot Noir is sourced from two Adelaide Hills vineyards and three blocks. A combination of east and west (Kuitpo) and north facing slopes (Gumeracha) with different clonal material (MV6, D4V2, D5V12, 777, 114) to produce distinctly different fruit flavours which combine to complement each other in the final wine. All vineyards are managed with strict VSP trellis. 

All bar 20% of the grapes were crushed and de-stemmed soon after receival and soaked for 48 hours before inoculation, the remaining 20% was fermented as 50% wholebunch and 50% crushed fruit. The blocks were partially fermented in a combination of open fermenters with extended maceration and the balance fermented in potters using minimal cap management. Fermented with a varietal enhancing burgundian yeast to preserve the fresh primary fruit aromas of Pinot Noir and stabilise colour. It was pressed off skins after 7 days of fermentation and transferred straight into French oak 60% (7% New) with the balance remaining in stainless to preserve freshness. Malo-lactic fermentation was completed while in oak and stainless and the wine was left on full lees for 6 months to gain complexity and mouthfeel during the ageing process. 

Accolades & Awards:

Penfolds Bin 28 Kalimna South Australia Shiraz 2016

96 Points James Halliday Wine Companion 

Striking hue, depth and clarity; the bouquet and palate sing in unison with a rich brocade of black cherry and stitches of cedary French oak (ex 30% new hogsheads) and fine-grained tannins. Its balance and length are impeccable.

95 Points Huon Hooke, The Real Review 

Deep, dense red/purple colour leads into a rich, ripe, chocolaty bouquet, which has background blackberry and dark plum notes, as well as hints of graphite and tar. A classic Bin 28, full-bodied, rich, rounded and structured for ageing, although it drinks well already

95 Points Andrew Caillard MW

Medium deep crimson. Classic dark chocolate dark berry aromas with roasted walnut, shellac notes. Lovely fresh inky, mulberry, blackberry fruits, fine looseknit chocolaty tannins, and underlying roasted nut/savoury notes. Finishes chocolaty and long with red liquorice, aniseed nuances. A very stylish “go-to” claret type with all of the hallmarks of the Penfolds house style. Ripe fruit, richness of flavour, concentration and chocolaty textures. Although drinking well, keep for a few years.

92 Points The Wine Front 

It’s mandated at Penfolds releases that at some point the word spotless must be employed. Here it is. A spotless impression of plum jam, creamy-vanilla whipped over the top, spice notes thrown in to give the party some variety. This wine takes freshness, the Penfolds house style, big company resources, gut-busting volume and good old fashioned attention-to-detail and somehow spits out the perfect consumer-friendly red wine. This is modern Australia in a bottle, in the way it presents fresh berried fruit, history cuddled within. It’s a pitch perfect Bin 28. It sits on the warmer, boozier, jammier end of what we expect from this label, so be warned, but volume of fruit and that creamy smoothness.
