Tasting note: First you’ll sense spiced dark berry fruit that mingles with mocha and vanilla hints. Then the smooth blackberry and plum melt-in-the-mouth flavours slip down the throat like silk, helped along by fine-grained tannins, soft peppery spice and leather-like complexity. As it warms in the glass it becomes even softer and deeper – a classic Barossa Shiraz! Enjoy until 2020. Food match: Partner with char-grilled rib-eye steak with béarnaise sauce and hand-cut chips. Or enjoy after dinner with mature cheeses.

Tasting note: One swirl and smell of this upfront Sauvignon Blanc will remind you of walking along a beach, so definite are the ‘sea breeze’ aromas. Passion fruit and nectarine make an entrance as well. It’s squeaky clean, wonderfully lively and hugely flavoursome thanks to its quota of rich, mouth-filling fruit. Enjoy until 2016.
