About

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.

Producer note

Michael Sexton grew up on the family property at Cherry Gardens in the Adelaide Hills — the brand takes its name from Main Road, Cherry Gardens — and graduated in oenology from the University of Adelaide in 2003. The first single-vineyard Shiraz under the Main & Cherry label was made in 2010, and the family now farms about 4.5 hectares across Cherry Gardens and Clarendon.

Langhorne Creek, South Australia, Australia

Winners Tank Shiraz 2023

Eskadale Vineyards

Made from the earliest-maturing shiraz grapes off the Eskadale block, this Langhorne Creek red is matured for 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. Young, vibrant blackberry carries floral lift, with plum and mocha rounding out a layered, full-bodied palate. A fruit-forward, typical Langhorne Creek shiraz that leans on power as much as finesse.

Kaesler Stonehorse SHZ 2022

Kaesler

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.

Xanadu Circa 77 Cab Sauv 2022

Xanadu Wines

Sourced mostly (86%) from Xanadu's own Boodjidup and Stevens Road vineyards in the Wallcliffe sub-region of Margaret River, filled out with fruit from Wilyabrup and Treeton. Crushed and destemmed, fermented in rotary and static fermenters, with part of the blend given extended skin maceration before a gentle press, then matured 14 months in French oak barriques (20% new). The palate is generous with dark forest fruit, cassis and chocolate, medium- to full-bodied, carried by supple, ripe tannins to a persistent finish marked by regional notes of bay leaf, black olive and licorice.

Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz 2024

Torbreck Vintners

Woodcutter's Shiraz is sourced from Torbreck's younger Barossa Valley vineyards rather than the old dry-grown vines behind the estate's flagship cuvées, hand-harvested and open-fermented with daily pump-overs before basket pressing. It's matured for 12 months in seasoned French oak barriques and foudres, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. Crimson with a black cherry core, it shows red and black fruit — dried red currant, black cherry, red plum — alongside Chinese five spice, charcuterie and white pepper, with soft, silky tannins carrying through to a long finish. Drink now or cellar 5–10 years.
