This is the kind of Shiraz you open and immediately regret sharing. A heady perfume with lots of violet lift wafting from the glass before layers of peppery spice and papery tannin charm you to no end. Delicious.

Reed Wines Knife Edge Shiraz 2022

Think sarsaparilla and some peppery spice on the palate that’s smooth with old oak, and just a lick of sweetness on the finish thanks to there being 20% Viognier. Loves a chill so don’t forget to grab ice.

Calyx Syrah for Seasides 2019

A sweet fruit core is surrounded by cooling herbs and light peppery notes, with a fresh acidity woven through to give this an incredible ease of drinkability. Pour yourself a tumbler and fire up the BBQ, you're in for a good time! Sustainably minded, these wines are presented in bottles that are 30% lighter to reduce their carbon footprint and have labels made with sugarcane by-products. Nice!

Good Clean Fun Party Red 2022

Good Clean Fun Grenache 2021

This shows off the bright side of the Grampians region—it's a delicious blend of Grenache, Syrah and some very rare Mourvèdre from Moyston Hills, and is a lighter expression of the style than its SA counterparts. Easy drinking with a palate of dark fruits, long tannins and a little savoury reduction edge, try it with a chill when the weather warms and you won't be disappointed.

The Story Super G Grenache Syrah Mourvèdre 2021

There's a real primary feel to this wine, with a good amount of blue and black fruit, tempered by some sweet oak and a smidge of pepper on the back end. It's perfect for a BBQ or the couch if you don't want to share (and we can't blame you!)

One Tonne Wine Co. Shiraz 2021

Bottled without fining or filtration, and with only a smidge of sulphur, it's a tropical fruit explosion with sherbety sweet citrus, lemon barley, passionfruit and fresh, cleansing acidity. Think Aeroplane Jelly, but for grown-ups!
