PARAGON
McLAREN VALE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA Chapel Hill is named for the ironstone chapel built by McLaren Vale’s Methodist settlers in 1865. The chapel stood as the heart of the community for 100 years, before it was closed, and began to fall into disrepair. In 1972, the chapel was given a new lease on life when it became the centrepiece and namesake of the Chapel Hill Winery. Nearly 50 years later the iconic chapel is going strong, overlooking the vineyards that thrive on the Mediterranean climate and ancient soils of South Australia’s Gulf St Vincent coastline. The product of a gentle, traditional winemaking culture and respect for the landscape, Chapel Hill’s vineyards are sustainably farmed using low-impact techniques, including reclaimed water irrigation and on-site composting to remove the need for synthetic fertilisers. It’s this winemaking philosophy that has allowed the unique site characteristics and seasonal variations to weave their magic, creating globally celebrated wines and making Chapel Hill one of the most respected and regarded wine producers in McLaren Vale.

The Margaret River is renowned the world over for its production of high-end rich red wines. It is stunning and isolated and certain varietals express themselves here with a true uniqueness that has become a signature style. This Shiraz is a quintessential Margaret River Shiraz. It is highly expressive with great fruit concentration and dark juicy cherry fruit.
Using low levels of additives makes the natural characters of this ripe Shiraz shine. Bursting with soft, plummy round fruit and rounded off with a pepper and spice, the Nature's Harvest Organic Shiraz is the red wine answer to the Nature’s Harvest Organic Chardonnay.
FRANKLIN TATE ESTATES ALEXANDERS VINEYARD RESERVE MARGARET RIVER SHIRAZ (WA ONLY) 38890 The grapes for this classic Margaret River Shiraz were picked for optimum ripeness. The wine was then matured in small oak vessels for approximately 15 months before being selected for this special blend. The result is a wine that shows perfumed red fruit with hints of pepper and subtle savoury characters. Try it with prosciutto.
There is nothing like a wine that is unadulterated and unashamedly pure. This ACO certified wine is perfect for those who prefer to drink organic but still want a full bodied delicious Shiraz. Made using only natural farming practices and organically grown grapes from the best regions in South Australia, this red is fruity, spicy and very drinkable.

We love our wine! On average, each Australian consumes 29.6 litres of wine, annually.
CASILLERO DEL DIABLO CARMENERE 38901
The Carmenere variety was a victim of the Phylloxera outbreak in Bordeaux in the 19th century when it disappeared from its place of origin, the Médoc in the north. Carmenere then reemerged in Chile in the twentieth century, where the Casillero del Diablo winery makes a smooth and delicate expression of this varietal, with intense colour and soft rounded tannins with aromas of black currant and chocolate. Great with aged cheese.
If it is something with a touch of European sensibility that you seek, the Hogs in the Woods Tempranillo is a flirty Australian red of medium body and elegant finesse. This Spanish inspired but Australian made Hog shows off with bright berry fruit notes and a savoury palate of herbs and spices. It is the perfect match with tapas.
Here, from the sun-drenched vineyards north of Lisbon in Portugal, comes a delicious Cabernet Syrah blend, with a few local friends, made for easy drinking. A young, fresh, flavoursome red. A touch of oak holds all the berry and fruit flavours together. The wine can take a slight chill, for enjoying over the warmer months. A lot cheaper than a trip to Portugal and just as much fun.
