Euroa Creeks is a hand crafted single vineyard Shiraz, only sixty cases of the inaugural vintage were available in Australia. The eight acres of vine are nourished by a number of creeks that have traditionally brought just enough water to make the land arable. In recent years the area has been drier than usual, vines have truly struggled and tonnages are at their lowest, but the grapes have been packed with flavour. Vintage 2006 was an almost perfect growing season and 110 cases of Reserve were produced. Vintage 2007 was totally wiped out by frost.

$5599each $671DOZEN EACH DOZEN Exclusively Goulburn Shiraz, grown by Jo and Andrew Gall, vinified by David Lloyd, owner operator of Mornington's Eldridge Estate. Lloyd was keen to see what happens when a cool climate winemaker delves into warm climate Shiraz. Located a little east of the township of Euroa, the vineyard produces intensely flavoured grapes which are hand picked and crushed in the field over the course of several days. The batches of juices and skins are then brought back to the winery at Red Hill for fermentation, pressing, ageing and bottling. Treated to an extended maturation, Euroa Creek wines are aged in a selection of American and French oak barrels, a high proportion of which are always new.

Dark brooding red colour, plum and dark berry hues. An intensely flavoured and perfumed Shiraz in the Rhone style, rich red berry nose with a little cinnamon, vanillan and spice, flavours of plum which follow through to the palate. Euroa Creeks is always rich and powerful, endowed with the classic blackberry Shiraz characters, firm tanins and great length. Vintage 2006 claimed Gold Medal at the 2008 Great Australian Shiraz Challenge.

Redbrook capitalizes on the exquisite synergy derived from omniscient viticulture and sagacious winemaking. Fashioned for style, elegance and complexity, Redbrook is an ultimate expression of the vintage and of exceptional Margaret River fruit grown to vineyards which have consistently delivered the highest quality grapes. The salubrious maritime climes along Margaret River encourage flavour, tannin and structure to catch up with sugar ripeness, yielding an intensely coloured Cabernet Sauvignon with concentrated, elegant varietal flavours and fine, ripe tannins.

$7499each $899DOZEN EACH DOZEN Vines are treated to shoot thinning and bunch removal to achieve perfect balance and even ripening. Parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon are harvested at night and separately cold soaked for several days on skins in small fermenters to maximise colour intensity and bright, fresh fruit characters. Ten days of vinification and a further seventeen of maceration are followed by pressing into a combination of seasoned and new French oak hogsheads and barriques for completion of malolactic. After twelve to fifteen months maturation, components are assembled into the finished wine and bottled unfined for a term of bottle age before release.

Deep purple black with vibrant purple rim. Cool Cabernet characters of redcurrant and tobacco leaf overlay riper characters of cassis, green olive and blood plum. A medium bodied wine with remarkable depth and length of flavour. Underlying notes of cedar, toast and savoury spice from maturation in French oak contributes subtle complexity.

Shiraz is selected from vines grown to the central and northern part of Margaret River, parcels which have shown remarkable balance year after year, consistently yielding loose, intensely flavoured bunches with small berry size, critical to the Evans & Tate style. The superlative ripening conditions allow flavour and tannin development to catch up with sugar ripeness, producing an intensely coloured wine with ripe, concentrated flavours and fine, soft tannins. Evans & Tate have spared no expense and have pulled all the stops to deliver a world class Shiraz.

$7499each $899DOZEN EACH DOZEN All grapes are hand picked throughout the cool of early morning, a choice parcel is included as whole bunches. The musts are transferred to a small fermenter and cold soaked at 5C for several days, followed by ten days of ferment at 22C to 24C. Juices are rack and returned over the cap for the gentle extraction of colour and tannin. Upon completion, batches are gently pressed and pressings returned to the free runs, adding structure and style to the finished wine. Components are matured a year or more in a combination of seasoned and new French oak puncheons, hogsheads and barriques. Every batch represents an individual vineyard block and is kept separate until final assemblage.
