A dark, powerful Shiraz that's a perfect gift for those hard to buy for family members. Fruit from 40 year old vines in a low yielding vineyard has resulted in a concentrated and serious wine with plenty of savoury character. Dark fruits, black olive, a little clove and peppery spice are wrapped in woody oak flavours from 24 months in oak. Approachable now but will hold strong in the cellar.

Poonawatta The Cutting Shiraz 2016

Licorice-laced blackcurrant, cigar box cedar and violets on the nose melt give way to soul-warming brambly fruit and blackcurrant pastille with velvety tannins.

Max & Me Boongarrie Vinyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Mulberry and spice... Aniseed, red cherry and red plum. Something deeper and darker builds. Labelled a syrah as the wholebunch inclusion and slight earlier picking date down-tunes the South Aussie ripeness and attempts to cast our gaze more towards the aromatic qualities and savoury flavoured details in the variety...

Max & Me Boongarrie Vineyard Syrah 2018

So much polish and poise! There is a strong read of both varietys involved... the blackcurenty hedges of cabernet and the spicy bright aromatic swirl of shiraz? Classic aussie blend done so well.

Max & Me The House Blend Boongarrie Vineyard Cabernet Shiraz 2018

Zippy Rizza that hits all the right notes! Lime zest, makrut lime leaf, and a touch of citrus blossom with some saline mineral edges and mouthwatering acidity.

Menglers Hill Avenue to Gold Shiraz 2018 

A sweet core of red and black fruits, dark chocolate, espresso, and sprinklings of black pepper spice with glossy tannins providing gorgeous texture. This is definitely worth getting two bottles – one to drink now, and the other to cellar for a few years and see its development.
