Magpie Estate The Good Luck Club Cabernet Sauvignon 2022
Magpie Estate The Good Luck Club is a Cabernet Sauvignon from Smalltown Vineyard that defies easy categorisation — and is all the better for it. Notes of shoe-leather on the nose, a palate driven by fresh cassis, vanilla, a dollop of cream, and the texture of a lolly-stick sucked clean. It's, in the words of the winemaker, an absolute bloody marvel. Why You'll Love It Magpie Estate continues their long-standing tradition of superstitious wines with this dual-facing label — show either The Good Luck Club or The Bad Luck Club, illustrated in 19th-century Japanese Kabuki masks. It's a wine about the highs, lows, ayes, and noes of winemaking, chance, and the mad undulations of human existence. The magpie, a bird that for many represents fortune, feels like the perfect mascot. Serious wine, seriously good fun. Vineyard & Production Sourced from Smalltown Vineyard in the Barossa Valley, South Australia — a region that has long proven its mastery of Cabernet Sauvignon alongside its more celebrated Shiraz. Crafted with the precision and irreverence that defines the Magpie Estate house style. Tasting Notes Shoe-leather and dark fruit on the nose. The palate delivers fresh cassis, vanilla, and a dollop of cream, with the satisfying texture of a lolly-stick sucked clean. Rich, structured, and deeply characterful, with a long, rewarding finish. Perfect Pairings Excellent with slow-roasted lamb, beef short rib, mature hard cheeses, and dark chocolate. Also the ideal companion for a long evening of good conversation and better luck. The Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 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.
