Aramis are endowed with over sixty acres of the most propitious vineyards in all McLaren Vale. There's a single elite block of old Shiraz, at the very top of the steeply planted property, invigorated by the balmy maritime breezes of Gulf St Vincent, it yields a spectacular harvest of fruit, defined by its fragrantly spiced cassis opulence, chamois, mocha tannins and textural mineral richness. The Heir is assembled from the best of the best barrels Aramis Shiraz, matured two years in a luxuriously high proportion of new French oak hogsheads, unfiltered and unfined.

Many of the Aramis estate vines are planted on their original rootstock into some of the world's oldest mineral rich soils, where they enjoy excellent sun exposure and the most temperate of Mediterranean climes. Heat generated during the day is moderated each evening by coastal winds that cool the vines for an extended ripening, encouraging the tannins and stimulating the juicy fruit esters to ripen slowly into full bloom. The final wine is assembled from a selection of the best barrels, those parcels which can best demonstrate an intensity of fruit, balanced by well integrated oak.

Aramis craft nothing but the finest possible, crafted from the pick of fruit grown to the most splendid sites. All the winemaking is highly traditional and very labour intensive, maturation takes place in a high proportion of new American oak barriques. A deeply ruby purple Shiraz, the nose offers mulberry, blackberries and plum, toasty oak and wafts of fresh mint over layers of dark chocolate. On the palate blueberry, black raspberry and char, wonderful intensity, supple integrated fruit tannins before a long finish, all in fine balance with the soothing alcohol warmth of Gulf St Vincent.

Stephen George established three hectares of dry grown vines in Piccadilly Valley during the early 1980s, yields from this tiny patch of terroir remain extremely scant. A juggling act of no fewer than fifteen different clones to construct the consumate Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir, from a terroir and mesoclime very similar to Burgundy, a labour of love for one of the industry's most accomplished and venerated identities. Blend No.1 is made from fruit grown to Jim Griggs neighbouring Cemetery Block vineyard.

$4099each $491DOZEN EACH DOZEN The cool, moist climes which surround the seven acre, steeply sloped Ashton Hill property sublimate into ideal food wines, well proportioned and fully flavoured. Pinot Noir grows well on the Ashton Hill property, coinciding with the proprietor's own love of all good things Pinot Noir. Stephen George grew up amongst the vines at Glenloth near Reynella and nascent Skillogalee in the Clare Valley, which was originally planted to vine by George's father in 1970. He is one of South Australia's most peer respected winemaking viticulturalists, a pioneer of Adelaide Hills Pinot Noir and a consultant to Clare Valley's eminent Wendouree, recipients of the exceptional Langton's classification of Australian wine.
