Hopcroft & Cornock McLaren Vale Merlot 2019
$14.20High quality and low prices is a sum we like, hence this remarkable wine from McLaren Vale, a district with a climate well suited to this variety.

Restless Farm ‘The Elephant’ Langhorne Creek Shiraz 2021
$12.80Great vintages happen when everything goes just right such as a long even ripening without stress on the vine and thus the bunches of grapes. The excitement grows that 2021 will be one of the classics and I have my finger crossed that it may equal the 1996.

Knotts Mount Lofty Ranges Vermentino 2024
$13.60I write this note, glass by my desk. Scented with a difference, shows fragrance, good length, made for Australia-a picnic white, for the anything but Chardonnay crowd. Perhaps serve on your boat on Sydney harbour, during summer of course.
Sourced from a nameless, smart boutique in the Adelaide Hills. For those without a boat, the rest of us, Vermentino like Gruner Veltliner will be one of the very large number of varieties that clamour for attention which you try a few times each year.

The Regions Barossa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2021
$13.80The reason there are so many Glug brands is because we prefer to bottle each wine to preserve the difference, however tiny. Overriding all of the small differences is the flavour of the Barossa Valley and the Glug style which favours full flavours. Expect from us a red over 14% alcohol as we are not excited by the flavours of low alcohol reds.

Restless Farm ‘The Deer’ Eden Valley Shiraz 2020
$13.20The Eden Valley is dryer and higher than the Barossa Valley and as the reds from Henschke show produces a wonderful variant of Barossa Shiraz.
