Picardy possesses the floral and fine grassy characters of a young Burgundian. A Chardonnay of great texture and structure with high acid and extraordinarily low pH whilst retaining perfect balance."A stylish, French accented Chardonnay, more about complexity and texture than simple fruit!" -Sydney Morning Herald, "Continues to impress and improve with subtle tweaks and nuances with every vintage. This seems the more delicate and subtle, but at times probably the most complex. Very long palate and an exciting wine!" -West Australian |
Known around the world as one of Australia’s best Rieslings, previous vintage claimed Silver International Wine Challenge. "A lovely pure riesling of gentle charm. Top value as well!" -Winorama.com.au, "From a severe drought-affected vintage comes this floral baby, youthful and pretty with musky elements among lime aromatics, then a firmly bodied palate tight with fine minerally textures, and even now, a sense that its future has a honey glow!" -Advertiser, "Peter Lehmann Rieslings shine regularly on the world stage!" -The Telegraph |
Parker Estate was built from the ground up in the right way, with the intent to produce just this style of wine. Established in 1985 by an old hand within the industry, quality winemaking was the only priority and commercial constraints played no part in the development. A mostly Cabernet wine with small portions of Merlot and Petit Verdot, grown to an exceptional site, ranking as one of South Australia's finest. The fruit is characterised by very dark colours, super ripe flavours, excellent complexity with good alcohol, density and structure |
Banrock Station along the River Muray is the perfect environment to practice environment friendly viticulture, and to husband healthy vines which are the source for full flavoured Preservative Free Shiraz. At no stage in the winemaking process is the preservative SO2 used. Banrock Station takes care to select healthy grapes of high quality, with concentrated flavours and good acid. The wine is handled gently and with meticulous care throughout all stages of vinification to avoid exposure to elements that may cause spoilage |
Hillside was established in 1892, the eastern slope was systematically replanted a century later with cuttings from the gnarled, hundred year old vines of the precious Block 6. Hillside Shiraz is treated to a traditional vinification process, open fermentations and basket pressing. "Dark and intially brooding, it opens with a little breathing into a beguilingly scented wine, provocative with scents of blueberry and cola, asphalt, leather and cassis. A mouth full of dark, penetrating fruit, never letting up, generous, seamless, fully engrossing!" -Vinicraft.com |
A vibrant Margaret River classic of elegance and some complexity, with excellent varietal characters and lovely natural acidity balanced by a palate of tropical fruit. Elegant nose – grassy and herbal with a full–flavoured and mouth filling palate nicely edged with lemony acidity!" -Winestate.com, There are bound to be more warm days and nights ahead so this wine will go down a treat. Refreshing and clean, bound by a distinct lemony line and touch of hay from the semillon, which also lifts the wine adding complexity!" -The Age |
Super Bin 389 & 407
Value packed Bin 128 & 28
Over the last forty years Penfolds Bin 389 has developed a strong identity for consistency, reliability and exceptional value. Components of the wine are matured in the same barrels that held the previous vintage of Grange. Wine lovers enjoy it because it's delicious and ready to drink immediately upon release. |
A textbook Cabernet, the varietally expressive Bin 407 highlights the virtue of sensitive vineyard blending, bold Cabernet flavours are supported by a judicious use of soft oak. Magnificent Cabernet, bursting with a rich panoply of cedary highlights which wrap themselves around the thick berry fruit flavours. |
Introduced as one of the first Bin wines within the Penfolds portfolio, it has become an Australian classic. Penfolds Bin 28 is a ripe fleshy warm-climate Shiraz offering structure and generosity of flavour. Bin 128 has claimed an impressive chestful of awards and was twice named Red of the Year at the London International. |
In 1960 Bill Redman persuaded Max Schubert to acquire a parcel of Coonawarra, and the Bin 128 experience began. The only Penfolds to be pure Coonawarra, it was originally labelled as Claret, and whilst the quality has increased immeasurably, very little has changed about how Bin 128 is made. |

Just The Penfolds Grange 2004 at an astonishingly $599.99!»
"They knew what I was up to and they clearly didn't want to sell it to me and kept making excuses 'Oh .. it's just for display' and 'Oh..I think someone has asked us to put it away for them' and my favourite 'umm Grange? What Grange? Do we stock Grange?' Well nice try fellows, but all rather futile. So now that I have all of them you can understand why I'm so excited about this vintage being touted as 'Immaculate!, almost certainly a great Grange and banged up with flavour as a Grange should be!'
Reviews and accolades aside, I can't wait to see their faces when they realize their folly. Ahh the clever fools"
