A glass of Diana Madeline is always a pleasure; this vintage is no exception. 89% Cab Sav, 5% Merlot, 3% Cab Franc, 3% Malbec; biodynamic
A well-priced introduction to the delicacy and purity of expression that is Eden Valley Riesling. All the floral aromas of spring flowers, apple blossom, honeysuckle,
A leafy, aromatic style of Cabernet that belies its substantial 15% alcohol. There’s structure here and the role of a delightful bunch of herbals –
Corryton Burge, with a generational connection to the land, does Barossa well. This ’21 Shiraz brings all the forces together with a touch of class,
Carries its Barossa credentials proudly, combining a weighty, ripe fruit component with an equally impressive amount of oak – 18 months in French barrels –
A touch old school Barossa Grenache, but there is a lighter, brisk feel to it. Dark fruits, dark spices fill the aroma with a woodsy,
Plenty of bold, upfront personality here. Ten months maturation in French hogsheads provides a strong oak foundation upon which ripe fruit is enjoying a moment.

Well, it is nice to have some age on this pre-release. Creamy on the nose, golden, white florals, lemon-drop curd, and freshly whipped butter. A
Plush yet reserved. Crushed eucalypt, mulberry and deep red fruits. Ruby-hued velvet comes to mind. Crushed red gravel on the nose; earthy and a little
Clearly the best Pinot Noir yet from Below & Above. The aromas are immediately compelling and complex with a sour cherry, dark plum and spicy
A wine that continues to show the growing complexity and expression of vines from this smaller producer in Pemberton. This is the most intense and
A really encouraging Merlot that shows the progress these guys have made with this variety in recent years. This is no soft and mushy fruit
