Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot South Australia
Description: The reputation of Wynns Coonawarra Estate stretches back four decades to 1951 when David Wynn recognised the potential quality of Coonawarra's wines. He purchased the original cellars built by John Riddoch in 1896 and began a winemaking legacy that continues to this day. The only blend in the range, Wynns Coonawarra Estate Cabernet/Shiraz/Merlot captures all the elegant fruit character that Coonawarra has to offer in a wine that drinks best while relatively young. The Cabernet provides flavour, length and structure; the Shiraz imparts a spicy complexity and richness, while the Merlot adds softness. The resulting red offers a rich balance of varietal characters in a smooth and approachable wine. Grape variety: CabernetSauvignon , Shiraz and Merlot . Oak Maturation: Matured for 10 months in a mix of new and used American and French oak barrels. Colour: Deep red with purple hues. Nose: Fragrant, leafy aromas with hints of mint and eucalyptus underlined with dusty oak. Palate: The palate is earthy and supple with soft, dark, berry fruit with a spicy finish and fresh aftertaste. This wine is made for current drinking, thus would only benefit from short-term cellaring. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £55.38

Hollick Shiraz Cabernet Coonawarra South Australia
Description: A soft, silky texture and medium weight, makes it ideal for drinking with modern Mediterranean-style foods. The fermented wine is matured for twelve months in one year old American and French oak barrels, which contribute vanillin and spice flavours while still allowing the fine Coonawarra fruit flavours to dominate the palate. The wine's usual composition is 80% Shiraz, 10% CabernetSauvignon and 10% Malbec. Hollick is an independent, family-owned winery, located on one of the original John Riddoch Coonawarra 'blocks' in the cool south east corner of South Australia. Planting of the classic varieties of CabernetSauvignon and Riesling began in 1975 under the guidance of lan Hollick. lan's involvement with viticulture goes back to his childhood in Mildura as the son of a soldier settler fruit blocker. After studying Agricultural Science, lan worked for Mildara Wines in Coonawarra, progressing to become manager of Mildara vineyards nationally and the Coonawarra winery. With a vision of a great future for Coonawarra, lan purchased 22 hectares of prime Terra Rossa land in 1974. The Hollick Winery was established in 1984 and a year later Hollick won the coveted Jimmy Watson Trophy for the best one-year old red wine. The property expanded to more than 100 hectares following the purchase of the Wilgha property in 1987. Hollick has recently expanded north of Coonawarra at Wrattonbully, a region we will hear a lot more about in the future. Shiraz will be the main production for Hollick in this region. New to the range is Neilson's Merlot named after the Australian lyric poet, John Shaw Neilson who owned the historic building which now homes the Cellar Door sales. The 1998 Cabernet Merlot was selected for British Airways First Class and the 1998 Wilgha Shiraz won a gold in the 2001 International Wine Challenge (12 x 75 cl) Price: £123.64
