Black Barrel Shiraz (12pk)
More about Black Barrel Find a stockist
Region: Barossa Grape Variety: Shiraz Winemaker: Nicholas Crampton and Corey Ryan Alcohol: 14.5% Winemaking: Fruit from low yielding, old-vine Barossa vineyards, vinified in small open fermenters and hand plunged before partial maturation in three hundred litre, high toast barrels for six months. Vintage 2024: Below-average winter and spring rainfall in the Barossa Valley meant vines had to work hard early in the growing season. Budburst began in September—about three weeks earlier than in previous years. However, frosts in September and October caused significant damage to some vineyards, reducing yields. Rainfall and cooler conditions in November and December helped the vines recover and thrive, with most varieties harvested before the end of March. Tasting Note: Big, bold, and full of flavour, this 2024 Barossa Shiraz pours a deep purple and hits you with rich aromas of blackberry, plum, and a touch of mocha and spice. The palate is generous and smooth, packed with juicy dark fruit, soft tannins, and a lick of oak. It’s full-bodied but balanced, with a long, warm finish that leaves you wanting another sip.

Little Giant Premium Barossa Shiraz (6pk)
More about Little Giant Find a stockist Grape Variety: 100% Shiraz
Region: Barossa Valley Winemaker: Corey Ryan Closure: Screwcap Alcohol: 14.5% Pack Size: 6 Bottle Pack Summary: The southern hairy-nose wombat is smaller than other wombats but is stocky, robust and the proud state emblem of South Australia. Like the might of the little wombat, Little Giant is crafted from premium regional South Australian fruit from established vineyards that deliver character and interest well above their size and weight. Hand-crafted and made with minimal additions and preservatives, these are wines made of the vineyard. The grapes are picked at optimal ripeness, minimally handled in the winery and fruit vibrancy is not hidden by non-essential artefact. Seeking first and foremost fruit expression, drink-ability and to be a great accompaniment to food. Don’t let the size fool you, these are wines you’ll want to drink. Winemaking: Little Giant Shiraz is crafted from fruit sourced from select premium vineyard in the Light Pass region of the Barossa Valley. Picked in the cool of the morning to retain freshness, the fruit is de-stemming and fermented in stainless steel tank. The wine then spent nine months in used large format French and American oak barrels to build structure whilst softening the palate and develop flavour complexity without overt extraction of oak characters. 2023 Vintage: The 2023 Barossa Valley vintage was shaped by a wet spring under the influence of La Niña, with record rainfall in October and November leading to vigorous vine growth and large crops. A dry December provided some balance, but disease pressure required careful management. A notably late harvest, with some picking extending into May, marked one of the latest seasons in recent memory. Tasting Note: Rich and inviting, with aromas of blackberry, warm spice, vanillin oak and dark chocolate. The palate is plush and concentrated, supported by layers of polished tannins that carry through to a long, sumptuous finish. The below information is available for stockists of this product.

Mullet Shiraz (6pk)
Region: South Australia Grape Variety: Shiraz Winemaker: Corey Ryan Alcohol: 17% Brand Summary: Mullet wines deliver bolder ripe fruit flavours up front with a bigger body and mouthfeel driving a big, long finish. Or like any great mullet, it’s business at the front, party at the back. Hand-crafted and purpose built, these are wines doing all they can to be big on flavour and big on drinkability. Mullet wines putting good times and enjoyment above all else! Winemaking: Selected parcels of the vineyard displaying bigger, riper fruit flavour are handpicked purposely for the blend. Harvested early in the morning to ensure freshness is retained before destemming entirely prior to fermentation and racking to mostly new and used French oak barriques. Four months in oak with selected barrels blended back with a smaller component that was left in tank on lees for a fresh yet well-rounded wine, offering maximum flavour impact with full palate coverage! Bottled with minimal fuss and minimal handling. Vintage 2024: A brilliant vintage for Mullet wines. An early cold period leading to a mild temperature growing season ensured full and even ripeness was achieved across red and white varieties alike. Yields were down, but flavours were bold. These big riper flavours arrived in the berry later in the season allowing for picking at higher Baume resulting in above average ABV. Tasting Note: Big, bold, red berry fruit flavours go into turbo drive with dark chocolate and cedarwood in support. The Mullet Hard Shiraz is a big, delicious and mouth-filling red wine that is unashamedly big on flavour upon opening. Big and delicious, its ready to go.

Pinch Gut Chocolate Aged Tawny (6pk)
Region: Dominican Republic, barrel aged in Australia Summary: Of the many dark stories from these troubled times none is more notorious than that of convict Francis Morgan, who was executed on Pinchgut island and his skeleton then left to hang for four years.

Today we’re still obsessed with rum but “harbour views to die for” luckily has quite a different meaning Tasting Note: Rich and indulgent, this chocolate-infused Tawny harmonises velvety milk chocolate, toffee, and vanilla with the deep, barrel-aged complexity of the wine. Enticing aromas of creamy cocoa, toasted hazelnut, and caramelized sugar rise from the glass, leading into a smooth, full-bodied palate. Each sip reveals layers of milk chocolate truffle, buttery toffee, and oak laced with a hint of rum, offering depth and warmth. The finish is long and lingering, leaving behind delicate notes of cocoa, caramel, and roasted almond. The below information is available for stockists of this product.
