This deep red wine with attractive crimson hues has complex aromas of dark cherries and coffee / chocolate with a hint of spice combining very nicely. The palate is medium to full-bodied with full flavours of berry fruits and dark chocolate, supported by subtle oak and grainy but soft tannins with a nice clean finish. Founder and former racing car driver turned wine producer, Alan Heath, purchased from his retiring next door neighbour a 100 year old dairy farm in the premium wine growing region the 'Adelaide Hills' in South Australia. Paying great attention to soil type, climate, row sizes, ripping, water quality, varieties and cloning attracted the immediate attention of Penfolds who contracted the fruit from his premium vineyard for a number of years. The purchase of the Vineyard was the start of a journey that culminated with the formation of Heath Wines in 1998. Alan's days as a grower taught him some valuable lessons. Sourcing of fruit is driven by the 'best sub-region for each varietal' and the 'best vineyard for each sub-region.' As a result of this Alans philosophy is simple 'We are committed to and focus on producing handcrafted wines with fruit driven varietal flavours, structure and balance.' (12 x 75 cl)

Torbreck THE FACTOR Shiraz Barossa Valley
Description: This wine is composed of 100% Shiraz and was first produced from the 1998 vintage. In the early 1980s valuable AustralianShiraz vineyards were pulled out because of lack of market interest. The movement to cool climate viticulture and wine made the Barossa, of all places, look rather irrelevant. However this trend reversed dramatically with the internationalization of the Australian wine market and renewed enthusiasm of local buyers. This is our tribute to those surviving vines and is made in the traditional Barossa manner , rich and rewarding upon release and beautifully ethereal with age. Varietal : 100 percent Shiraz Regions : Marananga, Koonunga Hill, Moppa, Gomersal (6 x 75 cl) Price: £338.30

Majella Estate SPARKLING Shiraz Coonawarra South Australia
Description: Sparkling red wines are a great Australian tradition, and along with other wineries Majella has kept the tradition alive with its very popular sparkling Shiraz. The Shiraz is barrel fermented for six months in American oak and then the wine then undertakes a secondary fermentation in the true 'methode champenoise'. After twelve months on 'lees', the wine is disgorged and a small amount of 'liquer' is added. In the true Aussie tradition some vintage port is used to do this. Limited Availability.

Farmer's Daughter Shiraz Mudgee NSW Australia
Description: Medium to full purple-red; clean, fresh, bright dark cherry fruit on the bouquet introduces a beautifully balanced and proportioned wine, with a mix of spicy/earthy secondary aromas. The palate is medium bodied with flavours all in a savoury spectrum. Estate produced from relatively young vines, and showing exceptionally skilful winemaking. This is what AustralianShiraz’s are all about. A fantastic example of a more subtle AustralianShiraz at its best – a medium bodied red with spicy/earth flavours and dark fruits. Mudgee is a small wine region to the north west of Sydney. It has some great red clay soils ideal for viticulture. Farmers Daughter is a boutique winery proud of its Mudgee and family routes. Lance and Gwen turned from farming to winemaking and named the winery for their daughters Michelle and Vicki. They recruited award winning winemaker Joe Lesnik who started making wine as an apprentice 38 years ago. Their 1999 Shiraz won the outstanding wine at the Mudgee Wine Show in 2001 and they have never looked back. We have two of their outstanding reds in the Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz and these bottles are prime examples of premium Aussie reds. (12 x 75 cl) Price: £166.13
