  This is the estate’s Reserve Riesling crafted from dry grown old vines (80+ years old). 2025 was one of the driest, warmest, and earliest vintages that the Clare Valley has ever seen resulting in low yields but exceptional fruit quality.

  Tense and zippy with an electrifying line of acidity sculpting the long driving finish.

  Brilliant water like core with a greenish tinge to the edges. Intensely scented, the nose offers up lime juice and lemon aromas which are complimented by green apple, chalky talc and slatey mineral like notes. Racy lime, lemon and Granny Smith apple fruits are sculptured by a line of electrifying acidity. Chalky talc, wet steel and flinty mineral elements extend across the back half. Superb drive finishing long, tense and zippy.
  Drink over the next 6-8 years.

  Another superb Clare Valley Riesling from the Watervale sub-region, the fruit comes from a dry grown vineyard with vines in excess of eighty years of age. 100% free run juice. This is exceptional value. The very gentlest pale lemon colour, the wine offers a gorgeous nose, wonderfully aromatic, with lime blossoms, spices, white jasmine, river stones, florals and a line of minerally support. Beautifully crafted with excellent length, there is bright, zesty acidity running the full length. Finely balanced, the wine will provide pleasure for at least the next fifteen years. Drink 2026-2041.

  The wine exhibits precision and excellent clarity, presenting aromas of crisp apple, green rockmelon, lime zest, and lemon pith, complemented by a hint of floral notes. On the palate, it is brilliantly focused, showing outstanding fruit purity and balance, and is beautifully structured, with a complex mouthfeel and delicate texture. The finish is taut and linear, demonstrating superb composition and refinement, and is impressively long. At its best: 2029 to 2042.

  A good deal of intensity and concentration of flavour here. Carries the lemon-lime Splice characters well, shows off some pulpy grapefruit notes, hazy green apple juice, a touch of pickled ginger and some lifted alpine herb and citrus blossom characters. Well balanced, energetic and drives with intent and length. Drink by 2033.

  With a Barossa heritage going back six generations this renown family owned Estate knows a thing or two about producing top notch Shiraz. This offering is one of their icon wines that sells for around $120 but under it’s Nicks Secret guise it can be had at $90.00 off for just $29.99. Only produced in exceptional vintages and impressively packaged with a wax seal, maturation took place in American oak (40% new) for a period of 18 months with only the best barrels selected for the final blend.

  Rich, thick and voluptuously textured with a decent whack of vanillin oak behind it, this is trademark old school Barossa Shiraz.

  Magnificent density of colour featuring an impenetrable inky black heart and a near equally deep dark red black hue. Heady scents of dark plum, liquorice, ripe blackberry, choc mint and vanillin oak waft through the nostrils followed by some fennel, mocha and spice notes. Rich, thick and voluptuously textured, the hefty palate is saturated with lavish dark plum, liquorice and choc mint flavours. A decent wack of subtlety toasted vanillin oak, fennel, mocha and spice characteristics the undercard. Ripe velvety tannins have a sturdy underbelly. Dense and powerful, it finishes long, plush and opulent.
  Drink over the next 5-6 years.

  It may sound like the proverbial broken record, but anyone who has not overstocked their cellar with the superb wines from the 2021 vintage in regions like the Barossa will come to regret their inexplicable dithering. The wine is named after a family ancestor who commissioned the first paddle steamer seen on the Murray River (okay, perhaps not quite the search for the source of the Nile, but still very impressive). After fermentation, maturation was in American oak, 40% of which was new, for a year and a half. The final wine is a barrel selection. Under cork. Near black in colour, with a dark maroon rim, the quality of the year shines through. We have aromas weaving through tobacco leaves, chocolate, beef stock, mocha, cocoa powder, cassis and a hint of gum leaf. There is serious concentration here with a supple, sleek and seductive texture, leading to silky tannins. The wine has balance, density and energy. Still refreshing, it offers superb length and will drink magnificently for the next twenty years. Drink 2026-2046.

  A truly marvelous example of this wonderful Barossa vintage. It's made with a distinct handcrafted style from the picking through to the winery, where it's managed in small batches. Deep dark colors on the nose of plummy black fruits, dark chocolate, and subtle spices combined beautifully. The palate packs so much, and yet it is supremely balanced and poised. Spicy dark fruits with a slightly more pronounced mocha richness complementing the berries' dark chocolate notes. Has everything you want to support extended cellaring.

  This powerful and graceful Shiraz offers an enticing bouquet of dark-fruit richness, smoked game, assorted nuts, and mocha. On the palate, it exhibits superb weight and seductive complexity with a velvety texture. The wine is wonderfully harmonious and seamless, showcasing outstanding depth and opulence with an impressively long, gratifying finish. At its best: now to 2039.

  Gorgeously fruited and complex, the wine shows dark fruit intensity, toasted spice, rich floral and cedar characters on the nose.

  A blend of 45% carignan, 34% syrah and 21% cinsault with 60% whole bunches in the mix, matured in old French barriques for 12 months. Bright and perfumed and packed with ripe fruit and gingery spice. Blueberry, satsuma plum and boysenberry with hints of jasmine, salted licorice, gingerbread, sarsaparilla, earth and mountain and amaro herbs. Exuberant and slinky, it comes across as quite fragrant in the mouth as well, with something akin to Turkish delight whipping around on the fringes of the palate. Fine and powdery in tannin with bright, sapid acidity, and it sports a supple tide of plush fruit and spice on the finish.

  Delicious and cracking value were the two things that sprang immediately to mind with this delightful red. A blend of 45% Carignan, 34% Syrah and 21% Cinsault, with 60% whole bunches utilised plus 11 months maturation in old French barriques. …… A deep vibrant purple, it offers aromas of plums, blackfruits, cloves and chocolate. This is a big, ripe, flavoursome, exuberant, fruit bomb style. Granted that is a style which can divide the crowd, but for all of us who love them, this is a cracker. Beautifully supple, with silky tannins, the texture has some density and there is decent length here. Utterly delicious, enjoy it over the next five to six years. Drink 2023-2029.

  Other Reviews……
  Ridiculous value! Can I leave the review at that? I had to do a double take when I saw the RRP - wow!  An articulate and expressive wine, this **** take on the classic Australian claret blend is a showstopper. It's a wine you just want to hang out with, such is its approachability and plentiful fruit. The consistency across the range of **** Wines I have seen of late speaks highly of its producer - bravo. And this super blend possesses that Scott Boland line and length reliability and magic.
  Dark plums, black currants and a touch of mint from the small addition of Cabernet lie in the shadow of dark berries, plums and chocolate nibs. It's not a showy wine, yet it walks with charisma and a calming presence. A smattering of dried herbs and fine tannins adds a moreish factor on close coupled with that persistent finish. Great stuff and well played. Run to this.

  The old Barossa reds were not the blockbuster monsters which are so popular today but rather, sought out a path of drinkability, while never sacrificing flavour. This is a welcome return to the past. There is 15% Cabernet Sauvignon included in the blend, which underwent a two week ferment with wild yeasts. Maturation was in a range of formats with 10% being new French oak. The fruit came from a range of Barossa sub-regions – Bethany, Greenock, Nuriootpa and Krondorf. 1,000 cases. Mauve/magenta in colour, the nose offers notes of blackberries, herbs, plums, mulberries, chocolate, coffee beans and mocha. A lingering finish with sleek tannins ties things together. Good focus here, and fine balance. This is indeed a more elegant style, but it lacks absolutely nothing in flavour. Apparently, Alex must have recently won Gold Lotto. Otherwise, why on earth would he be giving this away at such an amazingly cheap price.

  From a very well-known family owned estate with an Italian-Australian heritage, this McLaren Vale winery burst onto the scene in the early 2000’s when the then, world's most powerful wine critic, Robert Parker, lauded many of the wines with scores in the high nineties.
  Named in honour of the family’s matriarch, this plush Shiraz was matured in a mix of 25% new French, 5% new American and 70% seasoned oak hogsheads for a period of 16 months.

  Oozing with succulence, this rich, seductive McLaren Vale Shiraz is a compelling buy at close to half it’s normal price.

  Dense inky black heart with a near equally deep dark red black hue. Heady aromas of liquorice, blackberry and dark plum engulf the nostrils complimented by some vanillin oak, earthy mocha and spice notes. Rich, plush and seductive, the full, weighty palate is swamped with liquorice, blackberry and dark plum fruits that are oozing with succulence. Spicy vanillin oak, subtle earthy mocha and traces of peppered fennel also chime in. Boasting abundant power and a nicely built tannin structure that has a velvety feel, it finishes long and opulent.
  Drink over the next 5-6 years.

  It revels in its full flex of the variety and the accompanying woody seasoning. Dark fruit, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, turned earth and undergrowth going on. It soars on the pulverised granite grip of tannins and lingers with its epic array of woody spice. Big vibe, big energy, big wine, and great harmony in all that. Classic stuff.

  This is immediately appealing on the nose with dark fruit intensity, game, toasted spice, and cedary oak characters. The palate delivers succulent fruit intensity with spicy nuances, splendidly framed by silky texture and polished tannins, making it structured and plush at the same time. At its best: now to 2038.

  Named after the matriarch of the *** family, the wine hails from the south-western district of McLaren Vale where much of the *** fruit grows. This is a more demure expression than other Shiraz in the family portfolio, the fruit notes dark blue in tone with subtle vanillin oak integrated now after 20 months maturation in 10% new French and 5% new American barrels. Despite its depths, the palate is quite lively, acidity fresh and flavoursome with its spot on fruit energy, tannins prominent yet balanced with the overall weight of the wine. Most enjoyable.

  Compared to previous years, the 2025 batch highlights a shift towards an extreme sherry profile, looking even deeper and darker than the 2024 bottling!

  Other reviews... "Aged entirely in ex sherry casks, the fruity and floral aroma really come through. There is a drying wood tannin that is detected along with burnt wood. Peanut brittle and salt water taffy are the sweet and salty qualities that mark this bottling." - Stephanie Moreno, distiller.com

  ...quite complex nose, great palate and solid experience overall....46% hides rough edges on the palate. I would love to taste this dram at 50% or higher. On the other hand, he is so quaffable that you might be surprised. Really easy-sweet drinking. - whiskybase.com

  A vintage that marks an incoming winemaker and a culling of lesser quality fruit. Cabernet and shiraz, the Aussie archetype. Consummate, medium-bodied and savory, with better tannin management than what I recall of past vintages. Bay leaves, currants and iodine, with licorice tannins serving as gentle directives to good, supple length. An everyday claret for the sophisticate, with a strong maritime feel. Drink or hold. Screw cap.

  Cabernet Sauvignon (51%) Shiraz (42%) Merlot (7%).
  This release of Wirra Wirra Church Block is on song and in form. It has plenty of flesh and fruit but it’s also firm and dry. It tastes of boysenberry, redcurrant, saltbush and dried herbs, with a gently ferrous-like element running throughout. It’s lovely to drink; solid but supple. Drink 2024-2029+
