Eden Valley, Barossa, South Australia, Australia

Stonegarden Shiraz 2021

Stonegarden (Stonegarden Wines)

100% Shiraz from Stonegarden, an Eden Valley vineyard first planted in 1858 whose fruit was sold to other Barossa producers for over 160 years before the site got its own label in 2015. The 2021 wine comes off two blocks — the original 1858 planting and a second from the 1940s — hand-picked in two passes 15 days apart: an early pick for freshness and white pepper, a later one for plush tannin, allspice and dark red fruit, with 20% whole bunches added for structure. Matured in 500-litre French oak, a quarter of it new. Winemaker Ben Radford and the site itself call 2021 a rare 'Goldilocks' vintage for Eden Valley, and the wine is built to age.

Battle of Bosworth White Boar 2024

Battle of Bosworth

Battle of Bosworth's flagship, made by cordon-cutting the vines so the certified-organic Shiraz dries and concentrates on the vine for ten to twelve days before picking — the Amarone trick, transplanted to McLaren Vale. The result is dense and hedonistic: black fruits, dark chocolate and licorice with leathery notes and a hint of black olive, matured in big old oak so the fruit stays in front. Full-bodied, plush and powerful, with generous tannins and a long finish built for cool nights and hearty food.

Zonzo Sagrantino

Zonzo Estate

Sagrantino is an Italian grape indigenous to Umbria, and Zonzo Estate grows it in Victoria under its Scoperta label. The wine is perfumed — floral spice and a dusting of cocoa over black pepper and dark berries — with cherry pip, blackberry and cedar through the palate. Tannins are fine and dusty rather than heavy, and the finish stays fresh and spicy.
