  Notes from the bottlers... On the nose detect a set of rich Malty vanilla'd and fresh oak notes, plus summer berries and freshly sawn wood. On the palate, it is above all rich, round, vanilla'd toffee'd and oaked, with a satisfyingly sweet and long finish. 40% Alc./Vol.

  Produced from only exceptional vintages and from a selection of the very best barrels, this Shiraz sits at the very top of this estates collection. Priced accordingly at $350 you can secure some for just $49.99 on a Nicks Secret deal. Fruit was sourced from 100 year old vines in Seppeltsfield (89%) with the balance coming from a 40 year old vineyard in Stockwell. Maturation took place in premium French oak barrels for a period of 20 months.

  Incredibly rich, dense and potent, this is a luxurious expression of old school Barossa Shiraz at an amazing 85% off.

  Spectacular depth of colour featuring a pitch black heart and a very deep dark red black tinged hue. Incredibly potent, the nose offers up decadent aromatics of dark plum, liquorice and dark chocolate, lavishly overlaid with spicy vanillin oak and mocha. Some earthy fennel like notes also chime in. Rich, densely concentrated and opulently textured, the weighty palate is saturated with blackberry, dark plum, dark chocolate and liquorice flavours. Prominent vanillin oak inserts itself in the middle with mocha, earth, fennel and spice elements forming the undercard. Luxurious and powerful, it features a velvet smooth yet underlyingly sturdy tannin structure and a very long, plush vanillin oak and mocha laden finish.
  Drink over the next 6-8 years.

  Powerful and graceful, this brooding shiraz shows dark fruit richness, smoked game, vanilla, toasty oak, and potpourri aromas on the nose. It's concentrated and plush on the palate, with an opulent mouthfeel and a velvety texture, wonderfully framed by chalky tannins, making it robust and firmly structured with a sustained, gratifying finish. At its best: 2028 to 2042

  From the excellent 2022 vintage, the fruit is sourced from two Barossa Valley vineyards, 89% from 100-year-old vines in Seppeltsfield and the remaining 11% from an estate vineyard in Stockwell, where the vines are forty years of age. A percentage of whole bunches are included in the fermentation which is with native yeasts. Maturation is for two years in French oak, 50% new, with the remainder in older hogsheads. Near black with a deep maroon rim, the nose gives us aromas of spices, cassis, root vegetables, dried herbs, cocoa powder, delicatessen meats and blackberries. There is great concentration here, with wonderful balance, and the wine has immensely impressive length. A silky texture with satiny tannins, intensity is maintained throughout. Like this a lot. Enjoy this over the next twenty years. Drink 2026-2046.

  Sourced from a single vineyard located at Woodside in the Adelaide Hills at relatively low elevation (350 metres), this Nicks Secret Shiraz is a flavour packed bargain at just $12.99. The fruit was fermented in two batches, one batch incorporating whole bunches with the two parcels then matured separately in French oak barriques (35% new). Only the best barrels make the final blend.

  Flavour packed yet refined and fresh, this superb Adelaide Hills Shiraz delivers remarkable value.

  Dense inky black colour with a dark red black tinged hue. Elevated red to dark plum and liquorice aromas are interwoven with hints of clove, scorched earth and peppered meats. Rich and intensely flavoured yet refined and fresh, the medium to full bodied palate is awash with juicy red to dark plum and liquorice fruits. Notions of spicy clove, scorched earth, dried meats and pepper extend across the back half to lend further interest. Fleshy textured, sturdy fine grained tannins provide structure. Finishes long and succulent with a flurry of pepper and spice.
  Drink over the next 5-6 years.

  Shiraz can be expressed in so many ways depending on all its elements of source, site, regional and specific climatic influences, of vintage weather variations, and of course winemaking techniques. In other words, it’s not all one and the same. This has a definite cool climate, colder season stamp, with a wonderful, bright-eyed character, aromatics of summer berry pudding, crushed grape flesh, and dark mint. An exuberance as well: perhaps whole cluster and whole berry components. A tasting sensation that lifts upwards rather than buries the fruit under timber, earth and heavy spice. A swirl of crimson and black cherry and berry with gossamer tannins. A joyous wine to taste then drink again – its natural purity is all that’s needed.

  From one of Western Australia’s most well known wineries and arguably the state’s premier producer of Shiraz and Riesling, this Shiraz is their entry level offering made with small additions of Touriga Nacional and Malbec to provide additional complexity and aromatic lift. At it’s normal price of $22.99 it offers great value – at it’s secret price of just $11.99 it’s a complete steal!

  Juicy, pepper laced and well fleshed with chewy tannins, this is a highly savoury Shiraz that’s a complete steal!

  Midnight black dark red core with a dark red black tinged hue. Black cherry, dark plum and liquorice aromas mix with scorched earth and peppered dried herb notes. Rich spicy dark plum, liquorice and black cherry fruits abound carrying with them a nicely fleshed feel across the mid weighted palate. Juicy mouth feel with chewy tannins and an underbelly of scorched earth, dried meats and peppered herbs. Highly savoury, it has a long pepper laced conclusion.
  Drink over the next 2-3 years.

  This is a good wine, and it’s good value. It’s a spicy, medium-weight style of shiraz, with a touch of positive reduction helping it along, with bell pepper and black pepper characters wedded to cherry-plum fruit. There’s also the merest whisper of musky vanilla, though oak is a low-impact player here. The tannin has a grainy, grunty aspect to it but then, it’s not overdone, and not dominant. There are no question marks here, everything is positive, though a slight warmth to the alcohol is the only thing you’d point to, if you were forced. It’s no real matter and besides, even at full price the value here is decidedly in the buyer’s favour. Drink 2025-2030.

  Dark purple hues with a ruby outer rim lead toa bouquet of ripeness and richness, aromas of dark berries and roasted plums, a dark raspberry almost jammy quality then smoky earth, a touch of boot polish wood smoke. Fleshy, fruity, varietal and dry on the palate. All the fruit scents turn into flavour on the palate set in a silky frame with fine polished tannins and medium+ acid line. A lovely example, balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2030+.
