dArenberg Ironstone Pressings Grenache Shiraz 2003 The Ironstone Pressings is a premium blend and a member of the ‘Icon’ team. Blends of these three varieties have been bottled and labelled under the d’Arenberg red stripe label since the late 1950’s, and in 1988 they released the first of this high-powered blend. After quite some time in bottle the intense colour fruit aromas and dusty gripping tannins tone down, the colour moving towards brown ruby red. Eventually the Grenache and Shiraz blossom as rich, sweet, violet like scents, with spicy, cedary and tobacco based aromas before malty sweet dark chocolate flavours and crunchy, chewy textured black olive, spicy ginger and long fleshy textures.

Henschke Henrys Seven 2008 The archetypal Rhonesque fusion of Shiraz and Grenache, Viognier and Mourvèdre which dates back to the early pioneering days and reflects the history, religion and culture of the Barossa. Henrys Seven is a tribute to Henry Evans who planted the first seven acres of vineyard at Keyneton in 1853. Sweet, ripe, berry fruit flavours on a complex, layered palate of great depth and length. Serve with grilled lamb on a spiced baharat.

Kalleske Clarrys Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2009 An assemblage of old vines Grenache with Shiraz and Mataro, grown to the Kalleske’s organic farm. Named after Troy Kalleske's ninety year old grandfather Clarence, who farmed the estate vineyards from the late 1920s until his retirement in the 1990s. On the palate the wine is rich and juicy with intense dark fruit flavours and ripe tannins. Clarry is soft, but full with a solid structure.

Penfolds Grandfather Liqueur Tawny Perennially awarded trophies and golds, Penfolds Grandfather Liqueur Tawny, a blend of the finest old tawnies and aged in small oak casks, honours the proud tradition that is Australia's leading fortified wine.

Intense raisined fruit, walnut and toffee flavours harmonise with subtle vanillin oak and rancio complexity before a remarkably long finish.

Schild Estate Barossa GMS 2008 A baronial Barossa estate, Schild have amassed an impressive retinue of international awards within a very short space of time. Their offerings are highly treasured everywhere, and demand always exceeds supply. An aromatic nose of lifted spice and savoury notes, a touch of oak ageing has given the wine hints of subtle spice, coconut and an intriguing complexity. A firm palate showing ripe berries, plum fruit and further hints of savoury oak.

Seppeltsfield Para Grand Tawny Para Grand is named after the Para River that flows through the centre of the Barossa Valley. Instantly recognisable in its unique bottle, Para was first released in 1953 and quickly became an Australian legend with a distinctive style, highlighting rich fruit flavours and great aged complexity. A powerful bouquet displaying an excellent balance of rich fruit, nutty vanillin oak and a hint of chocolate. Further complexity is derived from the aged rancio character and fine brandy spirit, the epitome of the Para liqueur style.
