Norfolk Rise Shiraz 2018
Gold Medal & 95 Points - National Wine Show of Australia 2019
Gold Medal - Royal Hobart Wine Show 2019

Estate-grown, hand-picked, some whole berry, 12 days on skins, matured in French puncheons (5% new) for 7 months. Very good crimson-purple hue; the spicy, peppery, black cherry flavours verify the bouquet, although there's a nip in the air with the defiantly cool climate style. Price: $19.00; Drink to: 2033; Alcohol: 14.5%; Rating: 91 Points & Special Value Star; James Halliday Wine Companion

Miles From Nowhere Margaret River Cabernet Merlot 2018
Trophy - Best Red Blend - National Wine Show of Australia 2019
Gold Medal (Top) - National Wine Show of Australia 2019
(95 Points) - National Wine Show of Australia 2019
Gold Medal (Top) - Royal Adelaide Wine Show 2019
Gold Medal - Royal Perth Wine Show 2019
Double Gold Medal - Women’s Wine & Spirits Awards 2019

The fruit is sourced from a number of premium vineyards across the Margaret River region. Each parcel was fermented separately in stainless steel. The Merlot received gentle maceration techniques whilst the Cabernet was worked a little harder for extraction of tannin and to create the structure to support the final wine style. Each parcel was pressed off skins and matured using French oak.

Burns & Fuller Adelaide Hills Chardonnay 2019
A charming chardonnay, the inviting bouquet shows apricot, nectarine, rockmelon and subtle nougat characters. It is equally appealing on the palate with succulent fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, well supported by creamy texture and bright acidity. Tasted: Sept 2019; Drink: Now to 2022. Price: $16.00; Rating: 90 Points; Sam Kim; Wine Orbit

Wolf Blass Gold Label Adelaide Hills Sauvignon Blanc 2018
Good heavens. What next. An elegant label for Wolf Blass. It's well made, showing that middle ground between NZ and Margaret River - the Adelaide Hills distraction-free style set by Shaw + Smith so long holds true today. Drink to: 2021; Price: $28.00; Alcohol: 12.5%; Rating: 92 Points; James Halliday; Wine Companion
