The Parker Estate Vineyard, situated at the Southern end of Coonawarra, was established in 1985 on the rich Terra Rossa soil over limestone of Coonawarra and carries Cabernet Sauvignon as the predominant variety with minor plantings of Merlot and Petit Verdot. Each vintage small quantities of the best fruit is selected for the Terra Rossa First Growth. If in any one year the grapes do not reach the high standard set, then no Terra Rossa First Growth is made, as was the case in 1992, 1995, 1997 & 2002 . In those years the wine released was under the Terra Rossa Cabernet Sauvignon label. Vintage 2000 was one of the earliest harvests on record (6 x 75 cl)

Coriole Estate Sangiovese McLaren Vale South Australia
Description: Depending on the vintage, a portion of Sangiovese is kept in stainless steel, a portion into newer oak barrels, and the majority is matured in older oak. These components are blended together prior to bottling. The resultant wine is lighter to medium bodied, frequently showing rich fruit flavours of dark cherry and spice balanced by crisp acidity. It is an ideal accompaniment to many types of food including rich Italian pasta and mild Thai dishes. Careful cellaring for 3-5 years will allow this wine to develop extra complexity. Coriole Estate was established by the Lloyd family in 1967 in the hills overlooking the McLaren Vale wine region and Gulf St Vincent. Coriole remains today as a small family owned company specialising in Shiraz, but which has also been at the forefront of producing Sangiovese in Australia. The estate is run by Mark Lloyd and his brother Paul. The winemaker since 1999 is Grant Harrison ex Petaluma and Primo Estate. The average age of the vineyards is 30-35 years old with the oldest block planted in 1919. The Mary Kathleen 1998 obtained a Parker 94 rating (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Lynch Bages 5eme Cru Classe Pauillac
Description: Overlooking the Gironde estuary at the entrance to Pauillac the vines of Lynch-Bages are located on the Bages plateau, on one of the finest gravelly rises in the appellation. The estate once belonged to the famous Lynch family, of Irish origin, and was acquired by Jean Charles Cazes in 1934. His grandson, Jean-Michael Cazes, restructured the estate in 1974 adding state of the art winemaking equipment, while keeping the former wooden vats as a reminder of the nineteenth century. The grapes are all hand picked and then carefully sorted before crushing. A very strict selection is made prior to blending and the wine is traditionally aged in oak barrels for 15 months before bottling. Garonne gravel. "...Full-bodied and classic in its proportions, this dense, chewy, pure Lynch-Bages will have considerable longevity." Parker, 91+. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Montrose 2eme Cru Classe Saint Estephe
Description: Chateau Montrose is situated in the Medoc. The vines of this 94-hectare estate form a single block around the little village of the Chateau, winery buildings and winegrowers' houses.

Monsieur Dumoulin created the wine estate in 1815 and it quickly created a good name for its high quality wines with extraordinary ageing potential. Chateau Montrose was classified a second growth in 1855 and is undoubtedly one of the most famous wines of Bordeaux. 40% new barrels. Coarse gravel on clay-silt subsoil. "An explosively rich, exotic, fruity Montrose...Powerful yet surprisingly accessible..." Parker, 93. (12 x 75 cl)
