Within Paringa's superlative Mornington estate property, lie three precious blocks of vine, yielding unique harvests of the most extraordinary Shiraz. Each parcel is picked on the specific day determined by individual ripeness, to be separately vinified in a bespoke manner, aimed at preserving the individual character of terroir. Assembled into a wine of balance, power and restraint, Paringa articulates the cool climate compexity and fragrant cherry spice of Mornington, while offering the substantive structure and chocolate fruit richness of extra fine Shiraz.

$5099each $611DOZEN EACH DOZEN Lindsay and Margaret McCall began their incredible journey in 1984, with the purchase of a derelict orchard on Paringa Road at Red Hill. Their requirements included north facing slopes, a permanent running creek and adequate wind protection. The vines were established to a distinctly unique Lyre or U trellis system, employing an elaborate steel frame assembly. The site is now producing harvests of Mornington Peninsula's finest fruit. Bunches of Shiraz are destemmed into traditional, two tonnes open top fermenters. Upon completion, batches are racked to a selection of seasoned and new French oak barriques for eighteen months maturation.

Purple scarlet colour. The distinctive cracked black pepper/ spice characters of Shiraz, plums, brambleberry and notes of cassis. On the palate, spicy blackberry and plum fruit flavours are supported by a length of firm yet soft, fine grained tannins. This is one of Mornington's finest renderings of Shiraz, a wine that will continue to evolve, yet can be enjoyed young alongside the finest cuisine.

Outstanding Langton's Classification. John Parker's long and distinguished career in the industry fuelled a desire to produce a great Australian wine from within the nation's preeminent red wine region, culminating in the release of Terra Rossa First Growth, mostly the Reynella clone of Cabernet Sauvignon with a tenth of Merlot.

$11099each $1331DOZEN EACH DOZEN Parker Estate was built from the ground up in the right way, with the intention of producing precisely this style of wine. Established in 1985 by an old industry salt, quality winemaking was the only priority and commercial constraints played no part in the development. Integral to the style and structure of First Growth is the seven day warm fermentation and four to six weeks of maceration on skins. Individual parcels are then matured eighteen months in a selection of mostly new, Seguin Moreau Chateau and Taransaud Chateau, 228 litres French oak barriques. The final assemblage is returned to oak before egg fining and bottling.

Mid to deep red purple hue. Highly complex nose, showing dark berry fruit and forest floor characters, tobacco and spice notes within a lifted smoky French oak frame. Intense palate with rich ripe black fruit, liquorice notes and firm structured savoury tannins. Medium bodied but with very intense fruit and good perfume, a magnificently proportioned Cabernet Merlot accord.

In 1960 Bill Redman persuaded Max Schubert to acquire a parcel of Coonawarra Terra rossa soil and the Bin 128 experience was born. It was originally labelled as Claret, and whilst the quality of Shiraz has increased immeasurably ever since, very little has changed about how Bin 128 is made, it's vinification follows the traditional Penfolds house style. One of the few Penfold wines which are sourced exclusively from a specific region, Bin 128 reflects the uniqueness of Coonawarra and the elegant, stylish expressions of cooler climate Terra rossa Shiraz.

Crimson colour, deep red core. Delicately scented with fragrances of lavender/, rosemary and rose petal. Well absorbed oak, cedar and a suggestion of regional artefact, spearmint and blackcurrant pastille. Subtle background scents of fruit mince, sage and brown butter cautiously seep in to fill any aromatic void. A linear, defined palate, alluring flavours, prominent grainy tannins, French oak in balance, stylishly understated, finishing firm.

The Barossa Valley was planted extensively to Grenache, Mourvedre and Shiraz by early settlers. In the 1950s Penfolds started experimenting with the blend, trials which culminated in the release of Bin 138s forebears. An answer to the growing call for the highly perfumed and fleshy Rhone style of red, Bin 138 is sourced from old, low yielding Barossa Valley sites, much of the fruit from independent growers. This is a very special Penfolds red wine indeed, one of the few that remains in component form whilst maturing in small, well seasoned oak barrels.

$5999each $719DOZEN EACH DOZEN Bin 138 is a full bodied style with the emphasis on musky plum aromas and succulent sweet fruit. Vintage and the quality of fruit determine the final wine, hence varietal proportions vary accordingly. Normally half is Grenache wine with a balance of Mourvedre and Shiraz, picked from elder vineyards which yield small amounts of intensely flavoured fruit. Sumptuous, seamless and substantial yet charmingly unpretentious, the final wine makes it hard to separate the cepage into it's varietal components, a complex entrapment and entanglement of Barossa fruits, soil and sun. Bin 138 is assembled after several rackings and a year's maturation in a selection of prior use American oak hogsheads.

Dense magenta colour. Aromatic leap from the glass, savoury and Rhônish, cold meats and pan jus, cinnamon, raspberry and red liquorice, dark red berried fruits and jelly bean. Medium to full bodied, substantial structual verging on lush, viscous youth. A suggestion of kirsch and maraschino, fruitcake mix. White chocolate and mocha flavours over powdery, soft rounded tannins.

From fruit grown to some of Penfold's most painstakingly husbanded vines, aged in French oak at Cellar 23, under the original Penfold wineworks at Magill, Bin 23 is a bold style displaying clear regionality while showcasing the complexity of many and varied clones Pinot Noir. Rich and silky but not for the faint of heart, a clever balancing act without any attempt to create a Burgundian imposter, Bin 23 is proudly Penfold and unashamedly Adelaide Hills, through and through.

$5099each $611DOZEN EACH DOZEN The relationship between Penfolds and the cool climate, higher altitudes of the Adelaide Hills goes back to the company's origins. Dr Penfold established his winemaking venture at Mackgill in 1844 to make Grenache wines which he would prescribe to patients. Exclusively hand picked grapes, with the inclusion of some whole bunches for complexity, are cold soaked and crushed before the free run juices, to the exception of any pressings, are naturally fermented followed by a single racking off gross lees. The finished wine is matured eight months in a combination of new and seasoned French oak barriques, before bottling, filtered but unfined.

Dark cherry red. Cherries and dark bramble fruits abound with attractive forest notes and lingering warm spice Subtle charry oak adds additional complexity in a discreet manner, leaving the bright fruit nuances to remain at centre stage. Strawberry and red berry fruits coat the mouth on a bed of soft tannins. A long and persistent finish that lingers and lingers, the wine's silky texture leaves the palate yearning for more. An exciting trio of Adelaide Hills, Penfolds and Pinot Noir.
