Somewhere at the heart of this irresistible sticky lies a very clever design indeed. An experience not to be missed, this fine alchemy of tawny wine and chocolate brings fruit, cherry ripe and alcohol to a warming, blissful finish.

Goulburn
A delight to savour for it's open knit palate of cherries and spice, lightly toasted oak and fragrances of summer berries. The velvetine mouthfeel and exquisite fruits are draped across a framework of firm but fair, healthy and judicious tannins.
From New Zealand's
Wellington Martinborough
A concentrated core of earthy tannins, sharply focused and edifying, black cherry and boysenberry fruit on the palate, anise and red liquorice, swathed under some of the most refined French oak.

Yarra Valley
Delivered with a healthy whack of alcohol, Diamond Valley's Cab/merlots invariably show true elegance, fully fleshed wines with suppleness and captivating complexity. The marked feature is the softness of the tannins, almost silky. Completely au naturel unfiltered and minimally handled, a sublime and delicious red that's developed into a virile beauty, long and seductive, a super food wine.
From Western Australia's
Margaret River
Seductive for it's supple fragrances and plump fruit, a synergy between the coffee oak and nutty tannins, a veritable fruit bar of delicious flavours.

McLaren Vale
Embraced by supple, aromatic oak, the peppery fruit accompanied by plum and boysenberry guides the tongue along to the mid palate where the sleek as boot polish tannins bring this heavenly, silken wine to a climax of festive pudding with dark cherries, coconut, prune and spice.

Eden Valley
Beautifully aromatic Cabernet, dizzying vapours of currant, complex herb, cassis, toast and mealy oak, plummy acids.

Barossa
Luscious fruit filled wine, splendid with a lustre of complex and discernible characters, mandarin and lychee, rosewater, canteloupe and fig. A vein of quartz does not undermine it's tropicality but serves as an unexpected delight that advances the argument for succulent, dulcet whites in full bloom.
From South Australia's
Barossa
Elderton gets it right everytime, their minor leagues are as satisfying as their flagships. A praiseworthy effort with sweetly affable tannins, fragrances of violet with pepper before a personable palate of blackberry, currant and cocoa.
From South Australia's
McLaren Vale
Cocoa and ribena, plum and cherry extend onto the palate, conjoined by savoury elements of green peppercorn, marmite and tapenade.
 
From Victoria's
Rutherglen
Plush palate of dark berries, bitter chocolate, vegemite and earth, an assertive purpley wine that's content to be typecast for it's epic tannins, gripping your palate like the legs of a lithe and licentious, fruit smeared dancer.
From South Australia's
McLaren Vale
Big bold intense bouquets bordering on vapours of wildly aromatic plum and cassis-like fruit, heady flavour profiles, extraordinary length, and tannins that are so luxuriant you feel that you can suck on them like some sort of treat. One of Australia's very best.
From South Australia's
Barossa McLaren Vale
Devastatingly proportioned, remarkable integration of oak with fruit and cherry acids, the hotness of it's perfume conjoined with ripe suggestions of plum and pepper, moccha and currant, soil and cigarbox.
From Western Australia's
Margaret River
Generously aromatic, a polished Cabernet with discernible elements of rustic and earth, blackberry and dark plum, mint, violet and enobi. A silky, velvety mouthfeel, wainscotted by malted jaffa oak.
From South Australia's
Barossa
A generous nose full of currant and red berries, licorice, pastille and marshmallow oak. Abundant fruit on the palate, ample berries and plum supported by glamorous oak and assertive but indulgent tannins. A completely gratifying, auspicious Barossa Shiraz with breeding and elegance to consume alongside a well seasoned lamb and rosemary potatoes.
From South Australia's
Clare Valley
Mint and eucalypt, chocolate box assortments, violets and softness mark this as quintessential Clare Valley Shiraz. Supple tender oak, plum and soy thrown in for good measure.
