About

Shiraz from Kaesler estate vines between 35 and 47 years old, fermented for a week and then rested mostly in older French oak so the fruit leads. Vibrant fruits of the forest and cassis on the nose with hints of spice box, then a supple, elegant palate of blackberry, blueberry and black cherry threaded with redcurrant and raspberry over soft, silken tannins. Drink now or hold four to five years.

Main & Cherry Shiraz 2025

Main & Cherry (Michael Sexton)

Shiraz drawn from two contrasting parcels: a certified-organic block on Hahn Road at Sellicks Hill for richness and plush dark fruit, and the cooler, higher home block at Clarendon for lift, structure and finesse. Gently fermented in small open fermenters for 12 to 16 days, basket pressed, then matured twelve months in French and American oak. Layers of blackberry, ripe plum and subtle spice ride velvety tannins — fruit-driven, lively and generous.

Mike Press Shiraz 2022

Mike Press Wines

Estate Shiraz from the Kenton Valley vineyard, planted in 1998 with cuttings taken from now ninety-year-old vines at Springton, drawing on three separate parcels for complexity. Matured eighteen months in a mix of older French oak hogsheads. Vibrant ripe blackberries, plums and blueberries layered with warming spice, dark chocolate, nutmeg and coffee, finishing with a subtle, refreshing lift of acidity. Light-to-medium-bodied for Shiraz — drink now or cellar up to ten years.

Meerea Park Hell Hole Shiraz 2023

Meerea Park

Single-vineyard Shiraz from the Kindred family's 1960s-planted Homestead vineyard on Palmers Lane, Pokolbin — a name that itself comes from the Hungarian for 'in Hell'. The low-cropped, event-free 2023 harvest gave exceptional fruit: deep crimson, dark berry aromatics, and a medium-bodied-plus palate of spicy plum and black cherry with gentle meaty, earthy tones and al-dente tannins on a long, streamlined finish. A classic Hunter style with cellaring potential of twenty years and more.

Quilty & Gransden Shiraz 2024

Quilty & Gransden

A 100% Shiraz from Quilty & Gransden's Orange, NSW range. Destemmed fruit is fermented warm with twice-daily maceration of the skins for colour and flavour, then several parcels are blended together and given a light stint in French oak. The result is deep red with purple edges, lifted aromas of ripe plum and dark berry fruit, and a soft, velvety palate carrying plum and a distinct white-pepper note through to a fruit-forward, easy-drinking finish.
