MCLAREN VALE |
 |
|
 |
|
| Fully mature, low yielding vines in the McLaren Vale supply the fruit for this fine wine. Dean Hewitson has spent many vintages honing his winemaking skills with some of Australia’s most highly regarded producers, Petaluma for example, and finally with this wine he gets a chance to make some thing entirely for himself...... |

MCLAREN VALE |
 |
|
 |
|
| This is very exciting wine. Old vine Shiraz is rare and precious. It needs to be handled with care. Too many winemakers over work the fruit and put the wine in all new barrels. The net effect is certainly great wines, but wines that need at least 10 years in the cellar before they achieve a balance between all the components. With a slightly more delicate touch Dean Hewitson has produced a wine with all the intensity of old vine Shiraz, but it is approachable and enjoyable whilst it is youthful...... |

MCLAREN VALE/COONAWARRA |
 |
|
 |
|
| Joe Grilli releases wines under the "Joseph" label only if it is very special. He searches for small parcels of exquisite fruit to be included in this wine. Not merely content to purchase the fruit, he lays out the bunches after picking and allows the fruit to ripen even further on racks. And when the wine is complete it has a depth of fruit that is simply quite remarkable...... |

MCLAREN VALE/COONAWARRA |
 |
|
 |
|
| This is the most finely balanced Joseph to date. The wine displays little of the "Moda Amarone" to ripen and extract further flavors. Certainly the flavors are there in abundance. . This wine is truly amazing in its concentration and balance and is the finest red wine Joe Grilli has yet produced...... |

Chardonnay |
|
| This is quite a unique regional blend. All the fruit is Chardonnay but two distinctly different climatic areas are used to balance the wine. The majority of the fruit is drawn from the warmth of the McLaren Vale, whilst a significant proportion of cool climate fruit from the Adelaide Hills is employed to add delicacy and length to the wine. The resulting wine is a joy to drink now with the potential to develop further over the next few years...... |

MCLAREN VALE/HUNTER VALLEY/KING VALLEY |
 |
|
 |
|
| Ever the master blender Iain Riggs has always searched around the country in order to find fruit to complement his fine base wine at his Hunter Valley base. There is a finite amount of premium vineyard sites in the Hunter Valley and rather than purchase inferior fruit for the sake of regional purity, Iain will bring in fruit to make a better wine. This vintage is one of his best efforts, without any question...... |

|
| Iain Riggs has always been impressed with McLaren Vale fruit, particularly of the Shiraz variety. This vineyard is low yielding and the wines have been remarkably consistent. The 1998 vintage was superb in McLaren Vale and this wine certainly shows this quality. This is perhaps the finest release of this wine...... |

| Joe Grilli can do no wrong. He makes an amazing array of wines, and is a master of all styles he attempts. This is one of the finest in an exceptional line of robust full bodied reds that still retain delicacy and elegance. It is indeed the thirteenth vintage of this supreme and unique wine...... |

|
| This wine gets better and better. In just a few short years Dean Hewitson has been able to define his style and seek out of the fruit all the best characters that true old vines Shiraz can deliver. These vines are now Seventy-Four years old, which is certainly mature in anyone’s thinking...... |

| The 1999 Rayner Vineyard Shiraz is the 6th release from this tiny dry land block of fifty year old vines. Concentrated brandy plum cake and dark chocolate are hallmarks of the style - distinctly McLaren Vale and distinctly shiraz. The colour is a deep purple red and quite dense. The oak maturation for Rayner is 100% new American oak. The vanillin lift and soft tannins complement the style. Dark chocolate, dark berry fruit aromas feature...... |

| Ruby, purple in color of this wine gives an indication of the depth of flavor of this wine, sourced from 70+ year old vines. Beautifully perfumed nose with plum and mulberry, and hints of spice and even violets. On the palate its plum heaven, dark and dense yet with some lovely red fruit characters giving the wine lift. The wine shows great balance, and a really well crafted mouthfeel. Beautifully concentrated without a hint of over extraction. The French oak integrates well. This wine has a long life ahead of it, but offers great pleasure now...... |
