This superb 2021 Reserve blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Cabernet Franc has a strong Bordeaux Cru Classe feel with its powerful and densely
The Barossa Valley has long held historic bragging rights in South Australia as the state's most famous wine region. However, the sand is shifting, brought about by the growing confidence among Clare's Valley winemakers to pursue a unique regional style. Both regions are now asserting themselves as outposts for fine wine deserving of serious attention.
Pale pink with aromas of strawberry, watermelon and light florals over wet stones. The palate is crisp and mineral with crunchy redcurrant and watermelon freshness, finishing dry, stony and refreshing.
The 2024 Estate Chardonnay is open knit and gently expressive offering up nutty and citrus peel aromas while older oak adds a touch of toasted spice.
The 2024 Basket Range Estate Pinot Noir is reserved although with good typicity as it opens up with cherry compote and red earth aromas lifted by a nice touch of dried herbs.
The 2024 Estate Cabernet is stylish in a mid-weight style offering up compact aromas of blackberry, cherry liqueur and cassis with a lining of cedary wood.
The Barossa is unquestionably Australia's most famous wine region. Certainly not the biggest producing district, nor the oldest (although not far off it), this is the name best known by winelovers around the globe. Rightly or wrongly, their iconic, bold, richly flavoured, idiosyncratic reds are often seen as representative of Australian wine in its entirety. That is, of course, very far from the truth, but what is certain is that many of its wines, especially the reds, are some of this country's finest.

Questions of genuine longevity often hang over wines from the New World.

Sourced from Shiraz vines planted in 1912, Henschke's Mount Edelstone is Australia's most historic single-vineyard wine, with an almost unbroken lineage stretching back to 1952. A recent vertical spanning eight decades displayed not only the longevity of the greatest vintages, but also its evolution as Stephen and Prue Henschke have honed winemaking and viticulture. The sublime consistency of recent vintages has solidified Mount Edelstone's status as one of Australia's finest wines.
