Lone Palm Vineyards Hillside Shiraz 2022
A powerful and expressive Shiraz from one of Barossa Valley’s premier hillside sites. Sourced from the best west-facing Marananga block, the Hillside Shiraz showcases the region’s signature depth, spice, and richness, all handcrafted by Lone Palm Vineyards. Meet the producer Established in 1992, Lone Palm Vineyards is nestled in the hamlet of Marananga, offering stunning views over its ancient vineyards and iconic gum trees. The winery focuses on producing site-specific wines with precision, respecting the Barossa terroir and blending traditional winemaking with modern techniques. Production This Hillside Shiraz comes exclusively from the west-facing Hillside Block in South Marananga. Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented carefully to preserve varietal character. The wine is aged for at least 18 months in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, it is fully vegan-friendly. Tasting notes Deep, opaque, bloody-red in colour. The nose opens with classic Barossa ferrous notes and rich summer pudding aromas. The palate is rich and lively, layered with cassis, cinnamon, allspice, and leather. Full-bodied yet balanced, this Shiraz is a quintessential expression of top-tier Barossa Valley fruit. Food match Perfect with juicy rump steak, seared tuna, roasted vegetables, hearty chillis, or fine hard cheeses. Grape Shiraz 100%
Smalltown Vineyards Clovella Mataro Grenache 2019
Clovella is a field planting of roughly 60/40 Grenache and Mourvedre. It is a 40 year old vineyard from the Gomersal sub-district of the Barossa Valley that Rolf Binder has been cultivating himself for many years. The wine spends 22 months in older French oak. The purpose of this wine is to show Mourvèdre and Grenache with some development rather than the super-juicy-young-bright Grenache of the moment. It starts with cassis, a nose full of promise. Clove and black pepper spice. The palate is dark and sultry with a dried fruit appeal. It finishes with a gentle lick of oak from the time the wine spends in oak.
