Alberto Antonini and David Gleave make their living from Italian vino. Alberto is the winemaker and David is a UK agent importing some of Italy's top producers. When Mark Walpole showed Alberto Antonini the Greenstone site, Alberto wasted no time, immediately ringing David in London. A collaboration between Antonini and Morningtom maestro Sandro Mosele, Greenstone combines elegance with the depth and weight that characterises Heathcote Shiraz. A wine of impeccable balance, fine grained tannins and lifted, fruit filled acidity on the finish.

$5499each $659DOZEN EACH DOZEN The Greenstone property was acquired by viticulturalist Mark Walpole, Tuscan winemaker Alberto Antonini and Master of Wine David Gleave in 2003. Several different clones of Shiraz are grown to the old Cambrian soils of this splendid vineyard at Colbinabbin. Grapes are hand picked and transported to the Kooyong Winery at Mornington. Grapes are treated to a natural cold soak and vinified through the action of wild indegenous yeasts. After a fortnight's maceration in open top fermenters, the cap is punched down by hand to extract good colour and ripe tannins. Following completion of ferments, Greenstone is matured up to twenty months in a combination of new and prior use French oak barriques.

Deep ruby/ purple coloured. Lifted perfumes displaying a lovely ripe, brambly spicy fruit on the nose. Combines the elegance of mid Victorian Shiraz with the depth and weight that characterise wines from Heathcote. On the palate, the rich, dark plum fruit is weighty yet nicely balanced by the supple, the low levels of oak permit the Shiraz fruit to shine through, dense, nicely layered and long, elegant and finely balanced.

Marschall Groom is the culmination of many years accumulated experience in the construct of Australia's most memorable vintages. The dream became reality following acquistion of a barren property in the Kalimna appellation of Barossa, directly adjacent Penfolds Kalimna Vineyard, home of the mighty Grange. Showing less oak than is typical of Australian Shiraz, Groom succeeds in being rich without any overt jammy or tannic qualities. Nose and palate exhibit good spice, anise and berry flavours, a firm, fleshy structure and fine textures.

$5099each $611DOZEN EACH DOZEN In 1997 the first acres on Marschall Groom's Kalimna Bush Block were planted to Shiraz, producing a crop for the 1999 vintage. Classic, ultra premium Shiraz territory! The unforgiving soils are well known for very low yields, loose clusters and extremely small berries. To compliment the youth of estate vines, a component is sourced from the distinguished Fechner Vineyard, home to fifty years old vines. The parcels of Shiraz are treated to a traditional and gentle vinification, minimally handled to small batch vinification techniques. Juices are punched down over skins in open top vessels for several days, followed by an extended maturation in a selection of new and seasoned American and French oak barrels.

Deep, black and brooding in colour. The nose shows bright fresh aromas of blackberry, licorice and spice, true to its variety. The new oak component is kept at a minimum allowing the vibrant fruit characters to elevate. A palate that will appeal to all, particularly the warmth, length and velvety silkiness it delivers. This is an awesome, delicious Shiraz, a very focused, classy and beautifully structured wine.

New South Wales Hilltops breed a very special style of Cabernet, structured and well endowed, a slightly more savoury palate with brooding bouquets, ripe and ready for early appreciation. Grove Estate played an important role in the development of Hilltops as a significant Cabernet Sauvignon growing region, supplying much of the finest fruit to esteemed national brands before establishing their own label. Fragrant of cocoa curls and melty Swiss chocolate around currants and black bramble, exquisitely balanced along a long line of refined, affable tannins.

Indeed they do but it takes the craft and guile of a highly accomplished team to introduce equity and to coalesce the accord into a whole that's so much greater than the sum of parts. Fashioned in the old world way to accompany piquant, fire roasted vegetable recipes or the comfort of succulently braised meats.
