Alkoomi, from local Frankland River Aboriginal dialect means ‘the place we chose’ - the Alkoomi Wines vineyard site was expertly chosen and produces great wines like this one. In the glass: Dense red purple. On the nose: Strong black cherry with hints of regional herb.  On the palate: Very solid palate with super-ripe black fruits and immense tannin support. Everything ...

The marriage between Coonawarra soils and the noble Cabernet Sauvignon grape have long been known to produce wines of outstanding quality and longevity.   Our Cabernet has benefited from the terra rossa over limestone soils of our ‘Abbey’ estate vineyard located in southern Coonawarra. The unique micro climate within this part of the region produces an extended ripening...

Winemaker Notes Shaw + Smith Shiraz is a medium bodied cool-climate Shiraz, in which balance is more important than power. The 2017 vintage was very cool, and Shiraz was picked four weeks later than usual. The wine is particularly fragrant as a result of the season.   Critical Acclaim JS96James Suckling A cooler vintage has bent this to a peppery and spicy zone with a v...

From the Margaret River region of Western Australia, Stella Bella Cabernet Sauvignon is the classic red grape variety from the region and offers excellent quality for the price.   Blackcurrant notes on the nose, plum and green olive savoury-ness. The palate has fine grained tannins with a persistant length and good overall balance.   Lovely with red meats or cheese

Winemaker Notes This wine is true to the Tolpuddle Vineyard Pinot Noir style: intensely aromatic, medium bodied with savoury spice notes, along with purity of varietal expression, fresh acidity and ripe tannins. Delicious alongside crispy-skin duck breast. Critical Acclaim D97Decanter Planted in 1988, the Tolpuddle Vineyard is situated in Tasmania's Coal River Valley, and is...

Deep ruby with flickers of violet, its delicate aromas of truffle, five spice and spring flowers are supported by a rich core of licorice, saddle leather and Provencal herbs. Very ‘Burgundian’ in style, the palate is elegant and pure with subtle notes of crushed cherries, earth and cedar all neatly wound by a taut spine of acidity and ripe supple tannins.   The 2010 Ste...

Winemaker Notes The Struie is a wonderfully aromatic and deeply concentrated wine produced from the harmonious combination of both regions, delivering layers of dark chocolate characters and defining structure. Nuances of plum, blackberries, violets and hidden spice characters all further enhance the natural elegance and tension of the fruit quality. The Struie will certainly age tremendous...

Winemaker Notes This wine reflects the up and coming Shiraz vineyards of the Barossa, rather than the battle hardened old vines that make up the core of our other cuvées. But like all Torbreck wines, Woodcutter’s Shiraz receives the very best viticultural and winemaking treatment. Fruit is sourced from hand-harvested and hand-tended, low-yielding vines, then open fermented and ...

Cherry red with plum and spice aromas, berry fruit flavours with subtle French oak and a soft silky finish. An excellent choice with an antipasto plate, light tomato -based pasta and almost any duck dish.   Commended - 2017 Decanter World Wine Awards
