2022 Conejo Joven Tempranillo
$30.00GOLD MEDAL 2023 Alternative Variety Wine Show 2023!
Judges comments;
“Briary Fruit, red and crunchy, morish savoury tannin, long core fruit, acid”, “Pretty and lifted, spiced cherry, game meat and crushed herb. Lithe and bright palate with nice structure and fruit/savoury appeal. Good lift and glide here”
***
This is delightfully expressed on the nose, showing dark plum, olive, smoked game and toasted nut aromas. The palate delivers excellent weight and supple mouthfeel, wonderfully structured by loads of polished tannins finishing persistent and robust. This will be an excellent partner to rich savoury dishes. At its best: now to 2030. 93 Points.

2019 Rusty Mutt Original Shiraz
$30.00BottlesOur classic McLaren Vale Shiraz is back!
A monster of a wine! Strong flavours and tannins that have set up this wine for the long term. Aerate before serving, drink with some nice rich red meat and keep some in the winerack for a while!
2014 Vermilion Bird Shiraz
$75.00Very different vintage conditions in 2014 have produced wonderfully intense, bright and concentrated fruit aromas and flavours in this wine. The fruit comes forward before even the brand new French oak which contained it for two and a half years. Once you see past the fruit, there’s a great tannin structure and ample acidity to bring it all together into a very intense, complex and long-lived Shiraz indeed.
An Elegant cool climate style with youthful purple hues, fresh dark fruit aromas and a tightly structured palate loaded with dark cherry and mulberry flavours. Needs more time! 5 Stars, Winestate Magazine.
