JJ Hahn Western Ridge Planting Shiraz 2021 1975
A single vineyard Shiraz from the Rolf Binder Estate on the Barossa’s Western Ridge sub-region, showcasing the richness of old vine Barossa Shiraz. Medium to full-bodied with a deep purple colour, expressive aromas of dark plum, blackberry, liquorice, vanillin cedar, subtle earthy dark chocolate and spice. The palate is rich, silky, and layered with plush dark fruits, cashmere-like tannins, and a long, sleek, deeply fruited finish. Vineyard & Terroir Sourced from the 1975 planting on the Western Ridge, benefiting from a cool, wet 2021 vintage that produced concentrated flavours, balanced acidity, and fine tannins.

Fermentation completed in tank, then matured in older French and American oak barrels (6 years) for 16 months before blending and bottling. Tasting Notes Dark plum, blackberry, liquorice, vanillin cedar, earthy dark chocolate, spice, plush dark fruits, long silky finish.

Zarihs Syrah by Borsao 2020
A bold, high-altitude Syrah from the foothills of Moncayo, crafted in collaboration with Borsao winemakers Victor Vidal, Marta Chicote, and Syrah specialist Chris Ringland. Rich, structured, and expressive, this wine combines power with elegance. Meet the producer Founded in 1959 as a co-operative, Bodegas Borsao has grown into a benchmark for quality wines in Campo de Borja. In 2001, it joined forces with two progressive co-operative wineries, combining tradition with modern innovation. Production The Syrah vines, planted over 22 years ago at 600–700m altitude, thrive on limestone soils and benefit from full sun and the refreshing Cierzo wind. Grapes are hand-selected, macerated for 4–5 days, and fermented for 15–20 days in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. 60% of the wine remains in stainless steel to preserve fruit purity, while 40% matures for 12 months in new American oak, adding complexity and depth. Tasting notes Powerful and expressive, with aromas of ripe black fruits and sweet blackcurrant, layered with hints of coffee and warm vanilla. The palate delivers wild blackberry, black pepper, and toasty oak, supported by firm acidity and a long, serious finish. Food match Ideal with roasted or grilled lamb and beef, but also works beautifully with pork belly and duck. Grape Syrah 100% .
