Winemaker Notes
Super light on alcohol, but full of flavor, lush and leggy… Redolent of black olive tapenade and crushed leaves on a perfect autumn day. The palate is awash with the same: a gorgeous reminder of life’s magic.

This wine is named after an Adelaide punk rock band, and it’s pretty rock ’n’ roll. Spicy, lifted, fruity and herbal aromas, with a generous texture and fine-boned structure that leaves you salivating and coming back for more. Made with 65% whole-cluster fermentation, offering so much early-drinking pleasure. Delicious.
Marked by an unmistakable deep purple hue and savory aromatics, Syrah makes an intense, powerful and often age-worthy red. Native to the Northern Rhône, Syrah achieves its maximum potential in the steep village of Hermitage and plays an important component in the Red Rhône Blends of the south, adding color and structure to Grenache and Mourvèdre. Syrah is the most widely planted grape of Australia and is important in California and Washington. Sommelier Secret—Such a synergy these three create together, the Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre trio often takes on the shorthand term, “GSM.”
Known for opulent red wines with intense power and concentration, McLaren Vale is home to perhaps the most “classic” style of Australian Shiraz. Vinified on its own or in Rhône Blends, these hot-climate wines are deeply colored and high in extract with signature hints of dark chocolate and licorice. Cabernet Sauvignon is also produced in a similar style.
Whites, often made from Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc tend to be opulent and full of tropical, stone and citrus fruit.
